It's a very simple design, yes. It's priced much higher than it should be, at 1000 Wii Points. And it's not going to go down in the history of WiiWare as a game very well remembered or very highly regarded. But there's something unique and heartwarming about it -- something distinctly human about just playing catch. And it makes IGN very curious to see where Prope, Sega and Yuji Naka take things from here.

"If you knew in advance that you would be stranded on a desert island, what games would you take to keep yourself entertained while you awaited rescue? Throughout this week, some of us will be answering that very question. Instead of a set number of games, each team member has been given 5000 Wii Points to spend on any combination of titles from the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the chance to nominate one game they just couldn't quite fit into their budget. What games will we choose to help pass the days, weeks and months isolated from civilization? Read on to find out!" -- Wiiloveit.com
The WiiWare library has expanded considerably these past few months, with many games being excellent examples of what PALGN would like to see more of in the future. Of course for everything good, there's a heap of absolute rubbish. Once again, Bplus fails to deliver with their latest WiiWare game Bit Boy!!, while German elephants invade the service in one of the worst fighting games seen in years. Still, there's certainly something that will appeal to everyone, whether it's some glorious platforming in NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits or defending a castle in My Life as a Darklord. Until next time, stock up on those Wii points!
Prope did amazingly well with Let's Tap but don't be fooled by Let's Catch as it is nowhere near as fun and is unreasonably priced in comparison; here is hoping that the companies next WiiWare venture proves to be more successful.
