Nintendo and Google become friends

3/4/2010

In what might be the weirdest pairing we've seen, Nintendo and Google have partnered to create a Wii game that challenges players to accurately guess search-engine rankings. According to Joystiq, the game 'And-Kensaku' will be released in Japan at the end of April, but there's no word on a U.S. release. Essentially, the title is a collection of mini-games based on search-engine  results, which sounds riveting. The disc will come preloaded with 10,000 words, with more available via download. Some of the games include: players guessing what searches are more popular than others, doing "and" searches for certain words, using search results to build a staircase and climb it, and passing around a bomb that explodes in the hands of the player with the fewest searches.

We've seen some weird products come to the Nintendo Wii, but this really has us scratching our heads. Typically, we think of searching for stuff on Google as work. But, hey, we thought the same thing about exercising -- until the 'Wii Fit' came into our lives.
