Originally announced back in May, Target Toss Pro: Bags has finally been released on WiiWare!

I purchased it tonight for 700 Wii Points ($7) and gave it a quick run through. My first impression: wow, I suck. 🙂 I got a 4 in my first game, and a 7 in my second. I actually got one to slide into the hole for three points, but then later knocked a bag off the platform and lost a point. Most of the time I missed the box altogether … guess I need more practice.

You use the Wii remote similar to bowling in Wii Sports: hold down the A and B buttons, then swing your arm back and then forward, as if you were tossing the bean bag. Tilting the remote left and right controls the aim, and you can change the angle and style of throw as well (slide, bounce, flop). I’ve never played the coin-op, trackball version, so I can’t comment on how the original has been translated to WiiWare. I can see this being a cool party game as it supports up to 16 players!

Oh, and if I didn’t mention it, my little sister’s name is in the credits. 😉 She also designed the game’s web site.
