Wii Chess is a chess video game for the Wii console. It was developed by Nintendo and was released on 18 January 2008 in Europe as a budget title.[3]
Wii Chess uses the Loop Express chess engine.[4] Players can also play online against other players courtesy of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
[edit] Reception
Official Nintendo Magazine UK gave the game 78%. They praised the great online multiplayer and how the game plays a "perfect game". Their main criticisms were the bland visuals and the fact it will not capture the imaginations of people who do not like chess.[5] Eurogamer gave the game 7/10, citing that it features a number of "sensible options", but notes that it misses features that would more than justify the price of the game.[6]
