It’s official: EA sticks with Tiger, announces Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11
Though we’ve already twice confirmed EA’s steadfast dedication to Tiger Woods — and, subsequently, sequels to his popular sports franchise — EA Sports has gone ahead and announced Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11. Coming in “June 2010″ to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and iPhone, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 features the philandering golf star (as per usual) and others from the PGA Tour circuit. No screens or an official release date were given out, but … umm … you could always play Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online for free right this minute! It’s a browser-based version of the game you know and love!
Wait, where are you going?

101 MiniGolf World fills a hole in DSiWare lineup
We became excited briefly when the announcement mentioned support for eight players … until we parsed the next few words and realized Teyon means by passing your DS around. Still, the developer is promising “mind-blowing obstacles, loops, pipes, ramps” and so forth. It would be nice to have a new DSiWare title blow our minds rather than our DSi Points.

Jimmy Fallon beats Tiger Woods at his own game
Fresh-faced late night host (and Engadget superfriend) Jimmy Fallon recently trounced golf superstar Tiger Woods in a Times Square showdown round of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. Just as aging classic rockers are incapable of grasping the musical mechanics of Rock Band, it seems Mr. Woods was unable to translate his real-life adroitness to the virtual greens — Fallon bested him by “a large margin,” according to MTV Multiplayer.
Try not to take it too hard, Woodsy. We’re sure you could beat him at Don’t Laugh During Every Freaking Sketch During Your Six-Year Stint on Saturday Night Live 2010.

EA and Tiger Woods make viral video magic (again)
It’s tough to follow the Jesus Shot, EA’s viral video for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 and tongue-in-cheek reference to a glitch found in Tiger Woods 08. But, we must say, EA has managed to strike rich, comedic gold again, as the video after the break for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 featuring Rocco Mediate is pretty damn hilarious. Like, grandpa-with-an-open-fly hilarious.
Oh, and some of you may notice something at the end of the clip, to the tune of EA awarding someone with $50,000 for their own viral video. For more details on that, check out the official site.

Wii Sports Resort features … golf and table tennis?
Nintendo of Japan’s new commercials for the Wii MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort use some very slick high-speed camera footage to illustrate the realistic motions used in, among other things, table tennis and golf. New in-game footage found in the commercial reveals that two of Resort’s new minigames will be retreads of things seen in previous titles — table tennis was covered in Wii Play, and golf, of course, appeared in the original Wii Sports.
Nintendo must be very confident that MotionPlus improves these games significantly. We still don’t know how many games will be included in Resort, but if two of them are going to be encore presentations, there had better be a lot of games. We totally understand Nintendo wanting to take a second crack at table tennis, we must admit, because Wii Play’s version is not where it’s at.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10: The video tour, Wii edition
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will be hitting all major consoles and handhelds, but the Wii MotionPlus really makes it stand out on Nintendo’s flagship game unit. It offers a greater degree of club control than we’ve ever seen in a game, though don’t expect it to make you a better golfer … unless you can somehow graft a Wiimote onto your club. You can check out Tiger’s WiiMotion Plus in action here, and then head after the break to see new videos depicting the Live Tournament mode, as well as the new golfers and courses in the game.

Joystiq hands-on: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, now with frisbee golf!
We took Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 through the paces recently — Wii MotionPlus included — and encountered a fair bit of confidence from product manager Randy Chase, who said, “You know … I just realized that this is going to put those really expensive digital golf swing analyzers out of business.” Actually it’s not quite that accurate, but it’s getting there. Perhaps one day you can look forward to suckering golf wannabees out of thousands of dollars by charging them for “lessons” from Tiger Woods himself.
Randy took a few swings with Tiger Woods back in March, and we’re happy to echo his sentiments. It’s very rewarding to switch over to the MotionPlus and watch your golfer avatar follow along pretty darn precisely with your swing. It not only makes the game feel more intuitive, but (amazingly) coaxes you off the couch. No slumped flailing here!
Before you go on, let us point you to some additional media

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 getting MotionPlus support
A recent dispatch from Electronic Arts promoting its EA Sports Season Opener event teased us with the promise of new information regarding its major athletic franchises — though the nature of these new pieces of intel were absent from the message. One phrase did catch our eye, however — while listing off the games which will be showcased at the event, EA mentioned Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will be “featuring Wii MotionPlus.” We can’t wait to see the implications this will have on gameplay — hopefully, when we fling our club into the crowd of jeering onlookers after our fourth consecutive double bogey, it’ll travel on a startlingly realistic trajectory.
We’ll also get our first look at EA Sports’ yet-to-be-named, MotionPlus-infused tennis title at the event — hopefully, we’ll get a chance to chuck a few rackets in a similar, McEnroe-esque fashion.

VC Friday: Tee up and club some Monsters
Filed under: News, Virtual Console
Yours truly has hazy memories of spending an entire summer holiday glued to Mario Golf, unlocking Metal Mario, and jumping on the bed after fluking a hole-in-one (shamefully, I was nineteen at the time). And now, it’s the fifteenth N64 game to appear on the PAL Virtual Console. Hell yeah! It might suffer heavily from the N64 fuzz, but for our money it’s still the best in its respective series. It’s accompanied this week by Wonder Boy in Monster Land.

- Wonder Boy in Monster Land — Master System — 500 Wii Points
