Cubed3 talked to Starfish's Chong Ahn, a producer on
Kiki Kai World, and nailed down the question that all (three or so) of us wondered: Is
Kiki Kai World based on the cancelled PS2
Kiki KaiKai 2, or did they start over? It is, as suspected, the cancelled game with new art, which means that Taito's cruel cancellation of
Kiki KaiKai 2 will not deprive the world of that game. Ahn promises that
Kiki KaiKai/Pocky and Rocky fans will be right at home playing
World.
When asked about possible online features, Ahn responds in the negative, stating: "As for the WiiConnect24 service, we do not feel it is something that needs to be utilised for this title." We're pretty sure we didn't need online integration in
Kiki Kai World, anyway. Starfish plans to release the game in the first quarter of 2008-- we're optimistic about the chances of this actually
coming out.
