Wii - Worms: A Space Oddity

Parsifal · Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2007 9:41 pm Post subject: Wii - Worms: A Space Oddity

Its Worms, in Space, for the Nintendo Wii. Combat with various gimmick and strange items (Super Sheep, concrete donkey, the Buffalo of Lies) some useful tools (ninja rope, electro magnet, jet pack) over multiple worlds.

If you've played any of the Worms games before you know what your in for. Side view maps, little squads of humorously named/themed worms. Lots of wacky line of sight/guide-able weaponry, tons of wacky voice clips, and general douche-baggery. Usually online with other people

Which brings us to the final bit of info. According to Team17 (the makers of the "Worms" and "Lemmings" games) the Wii version of "Worms: A Space Oddity" /will/ have 4 player online multiplayer. Not too much beyond that is known, but its almost a certainty that it will require the use of "Friend Codes" to play with anyone you actually know, perhaps remitting random online play to /total strangers/ like with "Super Mario Strikers"....which kind of diminishes the point of the Codes in the first place.

Anywho. Mike, Dee, Dan? Yet one more thing you guys can play online, so get your pens out and get ready to write them codes down:P

Beyond the motion controls (when properly implemented) if pretty much is same old same old right now. Hell, with the Wii Zapper bringing the light gun back and the balance board taking the place of the dance mat all wii need(s) *snickers* is a now-gen iteration of ROB and its the NES all over again.

The Wii has titles....the exact same ones it had for the NES and SNES, and in some cases the N64, back on the Virtual Console and ready to be milked for cash yet again.
