Nintendo has just made a new WiiWare game available via Club Nintendo titled, Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! With summer just around the corner, what a perfect way to start off the spring and early summer months than with a mini-game solely based on the premise of backyard grilling, but with a classic Nintendo catch to make things all the more interesting. The concept may seem shallow, but once you have the controller and nunchuck in your hand, you'll quickly realize this game has quite a bit of depth hidden away behind its fun exterior and you'll be pushing yourself to your gaming limits to achieve the top score and to make it to the next grilling level.

Recently, the company added a number of goodies to the members-only service, including a new Game and Watch Collection for Nintendo DS, an awesome Super Mario poster, and the first exclusive WiiWare title, Grill-Off With Ultra Hand! This game came out a few months ago in Japan, and finally it's within our grasp. The only question is if it's worth holding onto."
Overall, Grill-Off with Ultrahand is merely a novelty that should provide brief moments of fun. But at a mere 80 Club Nintendo coins, it is an enjoyable piece of Nintendo memorabilia that old school Nintendo fans should appreciate.
If Grill-Off with Ultra Hand had a Weber-bound equivalent then it would be a cheap hot dog: it's okay to indulge in once in a while but not something you'll care to have again very often. It's fun in the same way a Game & Watch game is, but don't expect a whole lot more depth than that.
