Big Beach Sports is a
sports game for the
Wii developed by
HB Studios and produced by
THQ. The game is a collection of six sports simulations, in which players compete on a beach resort location. The sports include:
American football, volleyball, soccer,
bocce,
cricket and
disc golf. The games are not highly realistic simulations of the sports, but more orientated towards unrealistic physics, stylized beach scenarios, and a simplified rule set. It is most notable for being the third Wii game (the first being
Pokémon Battle Revolution and the second being
Geometry Wars: Galaxies) to feature connectivity to the
Nintendo DS. Big Beach Sports also features the first
cricket game on the Wii. It was released on 24 June 2008.The DS application downloads a small application from the Wii, which allows the player to draw the created character's face (eyes, ears, nose, mouth and eyebrows) and upload it back from the
Nintendo DS to the Wii. The character will then appear that way in the game. This application does not require any DS game to be inserted into the Nintendo DS
