Everybody has the chance to play it like a pro now

There is no sport or real life game that can't be turned into a virtual fun-making machine, no matter how boring or hard to learn it is. For example, table football is something I was never able to handle too well so I had to call it quits early in my "career". However, for those like me, there is still a chance to be competitive against the best of the best: Table Football - the game developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and published by 505 Games.

Table Football uses the motion-sensing abilities of the Wii Remote to make it feel just like you're playing a fast-paced game of table soccer in the comfort of your living room. By twisting and pushing the remotes, up to four players can take control before trying to score the perfect goal. And it will of course be much, much easier than doing the same thing in real life!

And if you want to consider yourself a pro after playing this title, you can do that too since this is the first ever video game to have the support of the International Table Soccer Federation. I had no idea something like that existed, but it doesn't matter now because it's all for the best: you can play 505's title using the official table football rules and create your own custom matches - it would be normal to have tournaments, too, but the developers said nothing on the matter.

So, as a little recap: Table Football will bring you some fast-paced action and the chance to become pros by playing from the sofa (not that the real table football needs you to move too much!), create your own teams and play by official International Table Soccer Federation rules. Also, a multiplayer mode for up to four people is possible and everything comes packed with a big variety of official ITSF fussball tables. And this should be enough.
