Is this one ball you're going to want to catch or is it best to let it go on by?

The whole idea of building a video game around a simple game of catch may make some gamers a little nervous at first, mainly due to the fact that it is an activity that is difficult to convert into a video game. That being said, catch-based mini-games..

1000 wii points?? Thats a bit too much for something you can do for free in real life.

I love how people judge the price when we know next to nothing about the game.

I for one, love throwing things. That goes all the way back to my football playin' days. So I'd like to see more about this.

So go throw stuff in real life then if you like throwing stuff so much.

AlexSays

5. AlexSays United States 03 Oct 2008, 20:52 BST

I do throw stuff in real life.
Just like how some people play guitar in real life.
Oh guess what? Some of those guitar players like Guitar Hero too.
Oh, and know how professional NFL players like playing Madden?
Well I guess that's self explanatory!

It's all very crazy, I know.

Hmm...
No comment. Not until more info is released, anyway. If you get to throw it at someone as opposed to to someone, then it's a must-buy for me ;)

@SuperMario

Agreed.
We can also fish; bowl; eat mushrooms and save princesses; shoot alien life forms; AND reunite the Triforce in real life too ;) :P

Hope that helps people get an idea about the game.

Does Sega actually expect people to buy this?

1000 points.... for this........... nah

First Eating Comps, then Beer Pong without the beer, then Sandcastle building and now this. Honestly, WiiWare is getting a lot of firsts for particular games and sports but i never thought i'd see a game based on "Catch". What Next, a game based on Knitting, Working as a Janitor, Sewer Maintenance, Haggis Hurling (It's actually a sport, look it up)? It won't end, will it? 1000 Points for the cost doesn't help either.

Also, I defy anyone to find a sport more unusual than Haggis Hurling

@Mr cheez thanks i'll look for it. :D

Well, considering it's being made by SEGA, it might not be all bad

Too slow for me

I don't even like this game in real life, and at least then it's more fulfilling( teaches you hand/eye coordination, as well as how to catch a ball). Pass.

19. Tony United States 14 Nov 2008, 22:51 GMT

The video alone turns me off from this game. Sega do a 2D Sonic already!!!!!

Nobarai

20. Nobarai United States 28 Nov 2008, 22:36 GMT

Terranigma, I would drop it like dog diarrhea BECAUSE it's being made by Sega!

I wanna support SEGA so badly but unless they lower the price tag, I don't think I'll get this. And the thing is, if Let's Catch sells pretty well, they'll bring more to "Let's" games to WiiWare! That's one division. Next division to focus on? Sonic.

WhoKnew

23. WhoKnew United States 02 Mar 2009, 22:22 GMT

The title is the first thing that bothers me. Lets Catch....Wii Catch? Hope they don't make an entire series.

KnucklesSonic8

24. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 07 Mar 2009, 20:27 GMT

@WhoKnew: I imagine, then, you're not familiar with Let's Tap?
Keep in mind these are being overseen by Yuji Naka.

Terranigma

25. Terranigma United Kingdom 08 Mar 2009, 01:44 GMT

Let's Tap was decent, so this could be quite good. Prope have my hopes up for their future projects.

@Nobari
3 months late but still. Sega are still a better developer/publisher than a lot of others when it comes to games, although in the last few years or so they do seem to be a bit hit-and-miss. Let's hope it's worth the points then.

WhoKnew

26. WhoKnew United States 10 Mar 2009, 20:32 GMT

@KnucklesSonic8: Yeah but still, I wish Yuji Naka would leave and go back to making Sonic games. I hope he knows what they are doing to his hedgehog.

"Also, I defy anyone to find a sport more unusual than Haggis Hurling"

How about any of these? http://inventorspot.com/articles/10_weird_sports_from_around_the_world_15185

KnucklesSonic8

28. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 13 Mar 2009, 05:55 GMT

@Terranigma: You tried Let's Tap? Can't wait till it gets here. So getting it.

@WhoKnew: Yes, he knows. And he says he doesn't pay too much mind to the direction it's taken. And honestly, if it means we're gonna get some creative titles, than I support Yuji leaving.

edit // March 29:
Confirmed for a North American release. I wonder when we'll see it... *pops up on Monday... or in 5 months. lol.

WhoKnew

29. WhoKnew United States 30 Mar 2009, 21:28 BST

@KS8: Guess your right. But I really don't think its a good idea for him having left. I don't think sonic games will ever be the same since now that he is gone.

KnucklesSonic8

30. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 31 Mar 2009, 04:32 BST

We'll see... SatSR came about without Naka and it turned out great. SatSR, SU, and SatBK all have their roles in improving the quality of the franchise and each of them have brought something to the table. Without those 3 titles, future games would not be possible. And because of those various aspects, THAT is why I am still hopeful for the future. This goes beyond blind following or anything of that sort.

But anyway, I'm more keen on getting Let's Catch than I was before. :)

Strangely, N-gamer magazine gave the Japanese release of this a good mark.

LGamer

32. LGamer Netherlands 01 Jun 2009, 15:34 BST

Okay, why do we pay 1000 points if we also can go outside and trow a ball with your friend(s)... :)

pixelman

33. pixelman United States 15 Jun 2009, 15:49 BST

Well, I play catch every day with bro, so I'll pass. Especially when that $10 can go to Swords & Soldiers.

KnucklesSonic8

34. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 16 Jun 2009, 05:37 BST

I'm enjoying the game so far. It's very relaxing. :D
I was right in guessing many would pass it off for the price tag. I think that may have hurt it honestly because if it were 500 Points, I'd highly recommend it.

35. Kaura Finland 27 Jun 2009, 08:44 BST

It looks kind of charming, but I got bored with the concept of throwing and catching already while watching the video.
