Hasbro's classic board game The Game of Life (remember that clicky colored wheel?) is making the move to the Nintendo Wii, and Famitsu has some new screenshots from the TOMY developed title. It's all the fun of the original without the little "people pegs" to accidentally choke on!
It looks like the Life board has been turned into a three-dimensional world that your Mii can move through, although some of the background images look to be more Japan-centric than you might remember.
Some very Wii-like balloon-pumping and barrel-stabbing (what?) minigames are also shown, but it's not yet clear how these will fit into the gameplay. And where's the fake money at?
The title is still in development, but is expected to be released later this year in Japan.

^ Why hasn't anyone done this yet?
Well, I think it's because a DToid board game would be so full of win that Flash itself could not contain it...
....or maybe just nobody's hammered out a good idea for one yet.
Yeah, I went there...
BOOOOOYAH YOU GARBAGE MAN, THATS LIFE!!!
Funny way to play Life.
Click
because we can't just set stuff up our damn selves
Ob-la-da
Life goes on HEYYYYYYYYY LALALALA LIFE GOES ON.
And I second Husky, buy the damn Milton/Parker Brothers game and set that shizzle up.
What we NEED on XBLA is You Don't Know Jack games, ports and new.
*and this looks like it might be fun...just not for very long (while your sober)*
Can't wait for more mini-games, there are really just not enough of those on the Wii...
Don't Break the Ice - win.
Life - fail.
