The game is a hit! Developer Hudson Soft has announced that it has shipped 2 million copies of the game worldwide since it launched last spring.

Like Wii Sports, the game has players compete in various sporting activities by swinging the Wii Remote around and whatnot. However, it includes many sports not featured in Wii Sports such as archery, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, curling, figure skating and super-cross.

<![CDATA[Adidas Brings Halo 3 To Its Feet]]> 2008 is looking to be replete with video game shoes, with Nike issuing Skate or Die and 720-inspired shoes under its Nike SB line and Adidas pumping out a Halo branded pair of kicks. The Adidas Gil II Zero Halo Sneaker is one of many Gilbert Arenas-approved designs—remember the NBA Live 08 shoe?—featuring all-over Halo 3 branding, Bungie logos and a recognizable weapon pattern.

If you want to get your dogs on these sneakers, you better call in some hook-ups, as they're limited to 100 pairs worldwide. Complex, who has detailed pics of the pair, is giving away the whole line at some point, for anyone feeling lucky. Me? I'm sticking to the Nike SB 720s (and maybe the Skate or Dies), depending on how long I feel like camping out at Undefeated.

<![CDATA[Sexy Tron Shoes]]>

Reader Papaspurs, knowing my obsession with video game shoes, sent me a link to a pair of Tron shoes from Adidas. The Stan Smith Comforts show Tron on the tongue of the shoe and the Master Control Programmer on the footbed, whetever the hell that is. The sole? Inside the shoe? Sorry, I'm not up on my shoe jargon.

Unfortunately, the pictures show neither the tongue nor the footbed, though there is this nice shot of the side featuring two light cycles. They may not live up to the Space Invader shoes, but I still need to buy a pair. Yes, it is an illness. —Brian Crecente

<![CDATA[Sega & Adidas Team Up For World Cup Lovin']]> adidassega.jpg

Adidas Japan has partnered with Sega for special UFO catchers that will be rolled out this Sunday. These claw vending machines will offer World Cup fans the chance to win little soccer balls and little soccer shirts. Adidas has already teamed up with Microsoft Japan as well, offering specially branded goods. Sega and Microsoft? That's slutty.

<![CDATA[World Cup Xbox 360]]>

To help kickoff the World Cup (and sell more consoles), Xbox Japan has once again teamed up with Adidas to co-brand the 360. Packaged in a special box and going on sale in late April, the bundle will include a blue faceplate and bandanas to support Japan's national team. A copy of the FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 will also be included, along with the usual suspects: wireless controller, HDD, remote, etc. There will only be 10,000 of these special bundles produced for soccer-crazy Japan. (Now, there's the daunting challenge of selling them to an indifferent Japanese buying public.) Last time the two companies partnered, the results were less than spectacular. Microsoft's continual catering to the Japanese shows strong resolute and belief in their system. The World Cup 360 faceplate says, "Impossible is Nothing." Fitting.

<![CDATA[Japan's Adidas-Xbox 360 Kiosk]]> Not a photo

Starting this weekend, Microsoft will be rolling out FIFA 2006 kiosks at Adidas stores in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. The kiosks are bound to look way better than this crappy Microsoft Paint creation.

<![CDATA[Shoe Shopping and Xbox-ing: Adidas Deals With 360]]> Adidas Ferox.jpg

Adidas and Xbox announced a deal today at X05 that will form a series of partnerships between the chic sneaker dealer and the console company. Before I make a sole/console pun, the deal will implant some Xbox 360 kiosks in Adidas stores worldwide in preparation for 2006's FIFA World Cup. Additionally, "Adidas will install content on Xbox 360 consoles." What kind of content? Shoe commercials? Tie-ins from the Xbox 360 dashboard? We'll have to see when details emerge.
