Zeebo Sports is a Brazil-only [1] series of video games for the Zeebo system.

Contents

The series was originally named Boomerang Sports, because the games were designed exclusively for use with Zeebo's "Boomerang" motion-sensitive controller. In August 2010, however, Zeebo released new versions of the games that can use either the Boomerang or the standard Zeebo gamepad. The series was renamed Zeebo Sports. [2] [3]
