Carpentry game for the Wii?

Filed in archive Wii on March 24, 2007

File this one under "strange, but I still want it". Developer Big Blue Bubble has created a carpentry game utilizing the Wii remotes (yes, both of them) to simulate building, carving and creating with wood. Hobby Shop is a part of the Great Canadian Video Game Competition and has passed the first two stages in first place. The winner of the competition, announced in September, will receive a healthy grant to support commercilization of the game. That means Hobby shop could soon be in a Wii near you. I admit, it sounds strange at first, but I know I'd buy it...
