SEGA shows two new Wii games News

Wii News by Robert Purchese

3 October, 2008

SEGA secretly unveiled two new Wii games during the Nintendo conference yesterday.

Let's Tap, the first of these, is being made by Sonic creator Yuji Naka. Apparently he said "even penguins can play" (thanks Joystiq), which presumably has something to do with the face-down Wiimote pictured on the official website. And not, let's say, something to do with fish. Or snow.

Let's Tap appears after Samba de Amigo and before Cooking Mama 2 towards the beginning of the Wii showreel aired yesterday.

The levels on display show three little men competing in some kind of race across a blocky and simplified level, with fireworks going off in the background.

There's also a batch of coloured balls on a different stage, where the aim appears to be collecting them into containers. Judging by the first screenshots, there are plenty more tasks to get stuck into as well. Let's Tap is due out on 4th December in Japan.

The other game on show was 428, a weird game that appears to be based on real-life photos of city folk with Japanese text then scribbled across the top. 428 appears earlier than Let's Tap in the Wii showreel - just after Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (the one with Ryu) and before Samba de Amigo.

428 is due out in December in Japan.

SEGA Europe had no further comment on the games.

Then sell the thing and get back to the safe comfort zone of the other consoles.

Isn't Tap IT a bit like the weird Rhythm game for DS?

I think it will be like that too, if so it's good news :-)

A game developed by Yuji Naka could be unplayable or amazing, I'll be waiting on the review scores for this game.

@ J.C

Sell it and then find something more fulfilling to do with your life than posting in a the comments section of a console you hate.

Anyhow these both look bat-shit insane and I'm all for more of that in gaming. Let's Tap sounds like a tap-dancing game when in fact it's some pure mental weirdness, and as for 428 we'll sadly never see it on these shores. :(

Let's Tap looks awesome, particularly the track and field type stuff. Can't get my head around it, but love it.

As a big Sega fan, these seem rather underwhelming.. Lets hope some good info comes about them soon. I was hoping Naka's next game would be slightly more epic

@JC : Well fuck off and fucking sell it then!

If you dont care about it.. none of us care about you! Sell it, fuck off, and go away..

Except you wont because you never owned one and never will. You're just trying to justify your console purchase to yourself while denying to yourself you're bored of all the shooters and soccer games you have for it.

Smelly, seriously now, from one human to another, seek professional help. They were the rantings of someone truely mental, do you literally love your Wii, with the kind of love usually reserved for a family member.
Personally, I'd only fly off the handle like that if someone called my mum a fat whore or something.

J.C, that was probably a good idea, because with the way things were going I think he would have hunted you down and possibly raped you, all whilst wearing his Hideo Kojima gimp mask.

428 was announced aaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago, and looks really cool. It is indeed a sound novel, sean, as I presume that's what you mean, from the masters of the genre, Chunsoft.

I really wish someone would have the balls to publish these sound novels in Europe. I think they'd potentially make great 'bridge' titles, particularly if marketed well. Lost Odyssey proved that they work well when given an effective translation.
