Nintendo sponsors new online Flash game

Developed by extra toxic and sponsored by Nintendo, Chick Chick Boom is a Worms-like Flash game that pits two teams of baby chickens against each other. Each side has a number of offensive and defensive moves to unleash by tracing their shape at the bottom of the screen. Launch bombs, poisonous mushrooms, and lightning bolts at your opponent, then use defensive moves such as a lightning rod or medicine to keep your own team safe. The goal is to stay alive as long as you can to unlock bonus downloads from the main menu. Chick Chick Boom shows a lot of polish and, with its emphasis on drawing, feels like it would fit the DS quite well.

This isn't the first time Nintendo has footed the bill for a Flash game. A great-looking platformer Mission in Snowdriftland was released late last year, though it mysteriously vanished in mid-January.

The... internet?

Sweet. All of the rewards from Mission In Snowdriftland were cool, so hopefully the ones in this game are as well.

Off Topic:

I went into Gamestop last night looking for used PS3 games and the guy at the counter asked me why I had a PS3 and that it was a POS and should trade it in for a 360 elite.

I didn't tell him I had a 360 just to see what bullshit he would say. I told him the PS2 had the same rough first year when it was released and that all it needs is time to grow.

HE tried to tell me DMC4 was not comming to the 360 and that it was MGS comming to the 360. He said anything he could negative about the PS3. I argued with him but he wouldn't listen. Do you gets come in contact with the same idiots?

anyone test if this works well in the wii browser?

this game and the old one

Jack, not to be a prick, but about 70% of the gaming world feels that way about the PS3. Aside from the blatantly incorrect exclusive facts, most people have no interest in a PS3, look at sales, look at prices, look at Sony, and then pray they can right thier ship, because you ripping on the Wii every other post clearly isn't doing Sony any good. You get an A for effort though...

Hey, it turns out it's a lot of fun!

Dave: Apr 6th 2007; 10:14AM

:O it sounds like a commodore 64! Awesome!

Via Wii Browser :
The front page will block you as having an incorrect flash version.
GoNintendo had a link directly to the game that bypasses this check, but the text on the intial menus does not render... SOOO I found it unplayabale.

@9:
Wow, I thought that was the point of this flash game. It seems pretty well suited to Wii action. Perhaps it'll be playable once the Wii browsers on something besides beta status, though.

I got to the pro mode with my wacom tablet. Its fun but nothing i would buy for the wii

hvnlysoldr: Apr 6th 2007; 11:27AM

Hi-score on pro level 215 KOs. There's a glitch that all your chicks act as one. When they get pulled into the balloon and go all the way to the top where they die, only one counts as dead but they all disappear. Making it impossible for you to lose. There's a hidden wallpaper that Chubby Snow, the star of Mission in Snowdriftland, has behind him on one of the weights. The terms of use say Flash 8 or higher is needed. Try http://www.chick-chick-boom.com/boom.html

Mission in Snowdriftland didn't really "mysteriously vanish," the site had a note that it would only be available until January 15.

mr mobius: Apr 6th 2007; 12:09PM

This isn't designed with the Wii in mind as far as I know. All the wallpapers are for DS games, it involves drawing which is more accurate using stylus than remote, and i guess also wallpapers are only good for download on a pc unless ds/wii can download wallpapers that i didn't know they could.

@ 4 ( jack)
lol
dude wtf, your sucha loser how the hell did you read that and think it was a good time to diss the wii and provide some propaganda for the PS3?

there are plenty of posts where you get the chance to do that, stop polluting irrelevant posts with that crap

anywho i love worms so im gonna try this out

Cee: Apr 6th 2007; 1:19PM

I would buy this game right now if it was on the DS.

samfish: Apr 6th 2007; 3:09PM

I found it strangely addicting.
...although I used a Wacom Tablet, so..

"All the wallpapers are for DS games"

I got a Wii Channel wallpaper on the 3rd level.

samfish: Apr 6th 2007; 3:10PM

Oh, right- and I liked Mission In Snowdrift Land better. They better release that in the original games channel whenever it drops.

Steve 3.2: Apr 6th 2007; 10:44PM

The game works best with a mouse so those with laptops may want to hunt one down. I would love to see this game come out for the DS. It's a great demo of what innovative controls can achieve.

Joe: Apr 7th 2007; 12:31AM

Tablet PC ftw, makes this game tons o' fun.

Tim: Apr 11th 2007; 9:42PM

My Wacom Tablet blasted through this game easily. I'm guessing it was designed to be difficult with a mouse rather than an actual drawing tool.
