Publisher Namco Bandai isnāt shying away from the risk of original IP on the Wii, announcing The Munchables for Nintendoās bestselling console today. Does fighting a Space Pirate onion interest you? If so, read on.
According to the official announcement, the Wii game will put players in the shoes of the titular, happy-go-lucky Munchables, a hungry race of googly-eyed, brightly colored things that must defend themselves against Don Onion and his Space Pirates by eating them. More Space Pirate eating means bigger Munchables. Sound familiar?
The gameplay mechanics sound like a tasty soup thatās one part The Maw, one part Katamari Damacy and one part Kirby. The gameās visual style is about as saturated as those titles too, with a world that clearly draws inspiration from cake frosting. Itās sickeningly sweet.
Namco has dated the game for May, but hasnāt divulged details on the gameās developer or why it makes mention of the Wii Balance Board in its press release. Maybe itās just covering bases.
