After browsing through my local gamestore whilst hunting for a present for my father (he won't play a game unless it has a motorbike on the cover, bless) my mother commented that there appeared to be a game of everything. After browsing through a wall of Wii and DS games, I find it hard not to agree.

It seems apparent that much of the Nintendos new software is in fact not gaming software. The new cookery thing on DS and Wii Fit on the Wii suit a household purpose (though admittedly, these purposes could be solved by either getting a cookery book, or indulging in something which involves moving AND not staring at your television set. Hell throw in a treadmill and a punching bag and you needn't have spent £200 plus on a games console with fancy scales included)
But I should put my current scepticism of the Nintendo format aside. They're doing very well for themselves, and who am I to say it's stupid.

So, there are now games of Table Tennis, dirty Volleyball (cheers DOA) and even games set in World War 2 where you fight the Germans!
I guess what I'm saying is, I don't actually think there is any medium left which video game developers can create fun from. Plastic guitars and maracas with drum kits and mics recreate the fun of starting a band. Wiff Fit recreates all the fun of actually getting off your arse. Custer's Revenge lets you experience the excitement of war time rape. Spore lets you experience playing God. Half Life 2 lets you experience being a four eyed geek with social problems (wait a minute).
Now I'm not talking "let's make a game about ironing", because A) I'm talking about games that would actually make sense and be fun, and allow us to experience something most of can't be bothered to do, or would get arrested whislt doing so, B) I believe Wii Ironing is already in the Beta stages.
So, what do you think hasn't been covered?
