NOT THAT WE'RE EXCITED OR ANYTHING. (MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK.)

By Brad Shoemaker | April 23, 2009

Look, Let's Tap is ridiculous. We know this. But it's the kind of ridiculous so extreme, I can't help being excited about it--especially because, honestly, the game is kind of fun. Playing games with a cardboard box is either the stupidest idea ever, or the smartest idea ever, or perhaps both.

Here's a new trailer.

Here's the box art.

As of press time, Sega still has not responded to inquiries about the inclusion of a special box controller within the shipping box.

So, you just hit the box? How is that any different from waggling?

The E3 bombcast about Let's Tap is an instant classic.

I've been collecting boxes from Amazon in anticipation. Looking forward to doing some mad box modding.

Who can afford four cardboard boxes during the current economic difficulties? Get real, Nintendo.

What? Recession hitting Nintendo THAT hard, eh?
Seriously though, if you imagine all kinds of stupid and multiply it by 9000. It stil wouldn't be stupider then the people who thought this was a good game idea...

To think this guy brought us Sonic the hedgehog. The box looks like any generic Wii 3rd party game out there. Might get it if its cheap

Mysterysheepon April 23, 2009 at 3:33 p.m.

Am I the only one who finds playing a game called "Let's Tap!" with your family wierd?

Zombutleron April 23, 2009 at 3:37 p.m.

buahahahahahahaha

I'm curious how it works with that stupid condom on the wiimote absorbing the minute vibrations. And the box art makes it look like some sort of keep the dildo away from me game. The game itself looks fun and has some great music, but I'm afraid the stupidity of the Western Wii audience has ruined any chance for this game.

As for it coming with an extra box, I'm sure it's extra money and perfect to bilk money out of the saps.
