THQ announced a new Nintendo Wii exclusive game today called Big Beach sports. The game is slated for release in summer 2008. The game will bring several sports to the Wii including football, volleyball, soccer, cricket, disc golf, and bocce.

Some of those sports aren’t exactly what I would think of playing on a day trip to the beach, but they should be interesting with the Wii motion controls. The game will probably also give American gamers their only chance to play Cricket.

"The innovative Wii Remote(TM) controller has revolutionized sports gaming, letting us involve the player like never before," said Steve Dauterman, senior vice president of product development, THQ. "Big Beach Sports applies the control scheme to each of the varied sports featured, letting players pick up and play the games they know and learn the ones they don't know."
