Gameloft has announced a partnership with Mattel, allowing them to make a version of Uno for Nintendo's WiiWare.

No other details are available, other than it's coming out sometime this year. Uno fans can already get their fill over chat services like MSN, so will the WiiWare version be a hit?

MySims Racing on Wii will let you create your own Sim as well as customize your car. The usual 4 player split-screen is included too. The DS version will have fewer options, but more emphasis on touch screen input and wireless racing for multiplayer.
It's coming out sometime this year.
