Wii Chess

Wii Chess is a 2008 computer chess game developed by Nintendo and Lancarse and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It was released on January 18, 2008 in Europe and September 30, 2008 in Japan as a "budget-oriented" retail title. Wii Chess was announced in December 2007 to a mixed reception; it was criticized for its lack of Mii characters, lack of customizability, price, and its "bland visuals", but was praised for its AI difficulty, and its online multiplayer capability. It originally sold in 2008 for €30 / £21, and was labeled "overpriced" by critics.
