Danish studio seeks publisher for unique Wii game

by John Bardinelli { May 31st 2007 at 11:01AM }

A small Danish studio has just released a trailer for a game it hopes to publish on the Wii. Visually, Pollen Sonata reminds us of Katamari Damacy, but the gameplay is strongly reminiscent of the indie PC game Cloud. You can't go wrong with that combination, and the game looks very intriguing with its calm atmosphere and free-form gameplay. Definite potential.

A prototype is available for the PC, but you must have Steam and Half-Life 2 installed to play. At least we know the game exists, unlike Nibris and the eternally mysterious Sadness. Let's hope a publisher shows some interest in this game and sees the light of day.

This looks like a good candidate for the virtual console.

Sorry to get off topic.
Is Nibris still in business or will we never see Sadness? Sadness is a game that I'm really looking forward to. I try visiting the website (http://www.nibris.net/) but it's not even up?

pollen game?? not far away from Dog humping and human sex game now. :)

That looks very nice! It would definitly be great as a Virtual Console buy, and I could even see it as a standard game if they beef up the story and level design.

You're hoping a publisher sees the light of day or the game? Edit time. =)

Finally something original and different. A game that doesn't have hyper realistic graphics, blood/guns or a marine.

I hope this game gets publish. Companies should take more risk. But they just want to make there pockets fatter.

The following statement represents our stance on the above titled game. We (meaning me)reserve the right to alter and omit our opinion based on future videos, reviews and/or demo-playing.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Thank you.

I Love it!!! simply, WOW!

It kind of reminds me of the Monkey Target mini game from the original Monkey Ball game. Which is great because I still play that game with friends. One of the only games that will get people to jump up off the couch because they're trying to see something that's beyond bottom of the screen.

It reminds me of Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Are there going to be huge ants you can ride?

wow, that looks pretty damn unique.
glad to see someone in the game development industry has an imagination these days.

The game looks VERY itriguing. I'd love to see more of it as they continue to develop the game. I hope some publisher picks up the rights.

Come on Nintendo they are making it for your console anyways! Fund the game!

"I hope this game gets publish. Companies should take more risk. But they just want to make there pockets fatter."

Those BASTARDS

Don't get me wrong. I'm not in favor of your Halos or your Gears or what have you. I liked Sounterstrike when I was still in College, but any more, I play Katamari, Meteos, Animal Crossing, Super Paper Mario, Final Fantasy and Elelbits. Probably sounds like I hate Xbox, but it's more like I don't own one because I don't pay over $250.00 to for a videogame system. Prior to Wii, I wouldn't pay more than $200.00, but it came with a game and I enjoyed the demos, so I went for it.

Anyways, I would also like to see this game come to the Wii, but I'm not gonna hold some accounting of companies for wanting to turn a profit. PEOPLE work at those companies, even at the bottom of the pyramid, and they need that company to pay them and feed their families.

Looks rather good. I hope somebody picks it up.

Then again, this is rather good fuel for some "WII IS KIDDY WAH NEDS SHOOTAN AND M RATEN" jackassery (if that is a word).

I see what your saying, but its all about the money. They always make the same excuse. It cost too much money to create an original IP.

Today everything looks and sounds the same. IMO, no one is trying to do anything different. Everything is about cashing in to make a quick dollar. I know people gotta eat and take care of their families. but i'm tired of seeing the same shit get released over and over again.

That's why i hung up my controller a long time ago. I may rent something every now then, but i'm pretty much done with games.
