According to the latest issue of Nintendo Power magazine, Wii Play will arrive in the Americas during January 2007.

Wii Play features various mini-games such as ping pong, air hockey and billiards, among others. According to Keizo Ota of Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development Division (EAD) in the Iwata Asks series of interviews, the team that created Wii Sports also produced family-friendly trial software, which eventually became this separate compilation upon Shigeru Miyamoto's suggestion.

Wii Play will release in all territories except the Americas on their respective Wii launch date. The title is expected to come packaged with a Wii Remote, though it's unknown at this time if that will apply to the American edition of Wii Play.
