(Let’s unwrap. Future unwrapping game.)

So I bought the EU version of Let’s Tap today, which might just be the most fun I’ve ever had opening a videogame before. And yes, I know I should probably get out more. Anyway, it starts with an almost-but-not-quite-A4-sized box like this.

Slide the lovely, colourful slipcase off and you get this…

…one of the tap boxes required to control the game (in case you don’t know, you control Let’s Tap by resting the Wii remote upside down on one of these and tap the box, with the vibrations registered as control inputs). Open that up and you get…

…another tap box! And finally, inside that box…

…you get a cardboard insert keeping the game itself all warm and snug. Aww. It’s like a solo game of pass-the-parcel.

Anyway, fantastic stuff, and almost worth buying Let’s Tap for alone, especially at the rather bargainous RRP of £24.99 (though a quick shuftie online should net you the game for over a fiver less). As you may recall, I rather enjoyed the Japanese version of Let’s Tap, and am looking forward to reacquainting myself with this altogether unique Wii game.

There’s an additional surprise, too. If you have save data for Prope’s WiiWare title Let’s Catch (which launched on the service yesterday for 1000 points) you can unlock bonuses for three of Let’s Tap’s five main game modes.
