Majesco brings indie game TUMIKI Fighters to UK Wii as 'Blast Works'
7
It's been an indie day for Nintendo: first the announcement of the WiiWare developing platform, and now comes news that Majesco is officially bringing unique indie shoot-em-up TUMIKI Fighters to the Nintendo Wii in Europe, under the sadly generic name Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy.
The original TUMIKI Fighters, created by Kenta Cho, is a Katamari-esque freeware shooter on the PC, where the polygons of exploded enemy ships can be "stuck" to the player's ship for increased firepower and greater points. According to Majesco's press release, Blast Works will retain the gameplay and "retro" aesthetic of the original, and will include a new ship editor, level editor, and a two-player cooperative mode. No word yet on a US release, but Majesco states that Europe will be building, fusing, and destroying sometime this fall.

I hope it is either:
1) Full-featured
or
2) Budget priced.
It's pretty fun on the PC, so I'd like to see what they could do with it on Wii.

Too bad this is one of Kenta's less awesome games.

You know, it's a cool concept, but I played this game a long time and feel that the execution is a bit lacking. Furthermore, there's no reason to purchase this on Wii, because the PC version is free and doesn't require a very powerful computer by any stretch of the imagination.
