Despite being one of the largest competitive events in the world, the Olympic Games can essentially be broken down into a series of smaller games. If you're so inclined, you may even refer to their relative individual size as "tiny," "diminutive or "mini," with an enthusiastic vocabulary producing an even more effective title in the form of "minigame." Clearly, the Olympics and the Wii are going to get along famously.

If you're hoping that the union of once archrivals [Only registered users can see links. ] and [Only registered users can see links. ] has somehow yielded a profound celebration of human competition and spirit, you'd be mistaken and rather disappointed. The equivalent of gaming chewing gum, [Only registered users can see links. ] shows no pretense of being anything other than a collection of miniature games, and beyond the initial burst of flavor upon discovering the Wii motions needed to complete an event, it's likely to degenerate into a bout of repetitive motion. You should know exactly what you're getting into here.
