Cruise Ship Vacation Games and DQ Tycoon publisher GameMill is really hoping that you're open to Water Sports, as the company today confirmed that it will be (virtually) spraying Wii owners in the face later this month.

No firm release date quite yet--some shops say 10/20, others list 10/27--but it'll be $29.99. And if you were hoping for a glimpse of real-life Water Sports fanatics in action, look no further:

The truth would remain buried until Her Interactive's Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy (PC) hit October 13. For now, Nancy would scrutinise her schoolmates' tweets, grab the 237MB demo from FileShack and watch a trailer... Read more
