Nintendo and Google partner up for a search engine game...

In what must be one of the oddest collaborations ever, Google and Nintendo have joined forces to create a search engine game. No, you don't earn Nintendo stars by searching on Google.com -- rather, this is a full, standalone game for the Nintendo Wii! The game consists of players competing to guess the most popular search terms, from a list. There are even additional, downloadable challenges... based on Google's trending topics... thrilling...

Titled 'And-Kensaku' (no, I have no idea what it means), this wacky title will unfortunately only be available to Japanese Wii owners (for about $50!). I'm sure, if you're really into Googling... and weird Nintendo titles... you'll be able to play an imported copy, though.

Anyway, if you speak Japanese, head on over to the game's site to find out more -- and if you don't, head on over anyway; you simply must listen to the game's theme tune. It's the kind of music Internet memes are made of!
