Nhl slapshot wii review
Game cover
Wayne Gretzky is the game's cover athlete, and also serves as the in-game coach for beginners. This marked the first time that the EA Sports NHL series featured a retired ice hockey player on the cover as well as Wayne Gretzky's first appearance on a cover of a video game since Gretzky NHL 2006.
Hockey stick peripheral
A miniature hockey stick peripheral was released with the game, allowing (but not requiring) the player to insert the Wii Remote and its Nunchuk attachment and simulate playing with a real hockey stick.
This accessory has also been known to work with a few other Wii games that involve ice hockey, such as Deca Sports 2 and Mario Sports Mix, as both games use Wii Remote flicking to shoot the puck and the Nunchuk's Control Stick to skate.
Reception
The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
