Pop goes the WiiWare
New game for Wii service.
Australian developer Nnooo (pronounced "NO!") has announced that it is developing a game called Pop for Nintendo's Wii Software service. That's WiiWare to those of you in the US and Japan.
As you can see from the screenshot gallery, it's a simple-looking Wiimote-controlled game where players have to burst their way through waves of bubbles, scooping up power-ups, multipliers and chains, with a hint of worldwide leaderboards.
Nnooo says to expect a healthy single-player challenge along with four-player modes where it's possible to steal points from opponents and use the controller to pump up bubbles for bigger explosions. "It is based around a simple concept which anyone can pick and play with layers of skill involved," the developer says.
A release date is necessarily absent, although Nnooo mentions "several months (at least) of development time" remaining. Keep an eye on the official Pop website for more information as and when.
