Gravitronix for Wii Software News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

Nintendo's XBLA, PSN.

Developer Medaverse Studios has announced on its forums that it is creating a game called Gravitronix for the Wii Software initiative.

Turn your minds back a bit and you'll remember this is Nintendo's plan to plop original and new creations in the Wii Shop for you to download, like on Live Arcade and PlayStation Network - but hoping to inspire a little more creativity with its motion-sensing controls.

The purposely enigmatic scattering of details for Gravitronix paint it as an action game where you'll battle up to three of your friends (possibly eight total) in one big, single-screen arena. Winning will mean firing projectiles around, each a different shape and with different physical properties you'll need to take into mind to get the best out of them.

Medaverse also promises Gravitronix will have a deep and detailed control scheme, and feature a difficulty curve that will reward persistent players with skills so impressive others will stop and stare. Trailers and screenshots are expected in the coming weeks.

Gravitronix joins Plattchen: Twist 'n' Paint as the second title on the Wii Software list

Unfortunately Nintendo Europe was unavailable to comment on suggested dates and prices for the games, but has previously said we won't see new games until early 2008.

I'm interested in Pl�ttchen: Twist 'n' Paint - if only because the developers is from the city I live in.

I'm worried for these games that the Wii's internal storage may eventually not be enough.
Wii external HDD in 2008 perhaps?

For the moment you can always put a large SD card in there

I'm really hoping Nintendo fix that so you can run content off the SD slot. Other than that I smell a Nintendo USB hard drive in the works. :/

Wouldn't be surprised at all if it will be possible once the whole downloadable software thing gets going.

If you need to delete a Virtual console game from your memory you don't have to pay to download it again at another date. So I'm not sure the storage is that big an issue. Although I'd have no problem with them coming up with a hard drive, especially if they fashioned it in the shape of a stand for the wii.

Maybe Nintendo will sell SD cards (1GB? 2GB?) bundled with Wii Points. As in "Buy an SD card for �20 and get 1000 free Wii Points!"

I might still go with an external HD, but it seems so clumsy and ugly.

Even if you don't; I don't delete stuff because I know I can download it later anyway. Instant accessibility is a huge factor for the virtual console, I download games because I turn on my TV, turn on the Wii and start playing. I could just as well get my old SNES out, hook it up since I don't play the games on a regular basis anyway. I don't because it's a hassle. Having to download a game everytime I want to play it would be not that much of work but still defeats one of the big points of VC.

There is a lot of terrible software on the market that promises to do a thing and it does not work, fortunately companies like Jonas still maintain a high quality product line like the new <a rel="follow" href="http://www.paretologic.com/products/filecure/index.aspx">software to open files</a> they just put out.
