Every copy ships with the mini-stick peripheral
Uses both the nunchuck and wiimote for stick motion, so motion plus is "essentially not needed"
Game can be played with the wiimote and nunchuck alone, or just the wiimote
You go from 12 years old to 40 years old
You can play as goalie
Kids can learn real-world hockey skills (when to take a slap shot, when you poke check, etc)
I really don't know what to make of this game, but
NHL Slapshot
How the hell can you not know what to make of it? It's a great idea.
That's probably the best use of the Wiimote and Nunchuk for a game I've seen.

I could see it going either way really.

Microsoft's arcade racer Joy Ride has been reworked as a Natal launch title, CVG can reveal. According to a senior retail source, the title will be available on Natal from day one later this year - and will no longer be free-to-play. In development at first party studio BigPark, the avatar-based game was unveiled as a free-to-play Xbox Live Arcade title at last year's E3.
Having initially been due for release in late 2009, the game was reported to be missing in action earlier this week after its listing was wiped from Xbox.com. Microsoft responded to requests for comment by saying that it planned to "bring BigPark's vision to life in 2010", adding that it had "nothing further to announce at this time".
Our source told us the game had been "completely reworked" for Natal. "The hope for us is that it will be a boxed release - we're still in the dark on that one - but it's definitely for Natal and will definitely be here for launch," our source said.
"We've been told it will no longer be free to play, but that it's been completely reworked into a bigger, richer game than before. They're putting the final touches to it now. The biggest thing for us is that it just works with Natal's racing controls. We're reliably informed it's very intuitive."
It's due to be unveiled on Sunday, June 13 at E3 2010 - the date of Microsoft's special Natal-centric event.
