Digitally pop bubble wrap with WiiWare

by Justin McElroy { Mar 12th 2008 at 8:35AM }

Just a couple of days after we learned of the mind-blowing Babysitting Mania coming to the DS, Totally Awesome Video Game Idea week continues on Joystiq. Today's entry is an upcoming 800 point WiiWare title called Ouchi de Puti Puti, or, roughly translated, Thanks for the Cash, Stupid. Oh, and there are 40 levels of it, and there's vibration. As far as we know, those are all the bullet points.

The glorious part is that the game is based on " Puti Puti," a keychain toy that makes bubble wrap noises. So it's not just a game about popping bubble wrap. It's a licensed game about popping bubble wrap. Oh Namco Bandai, how can we ever thank you?

I misread "Babysitting Mania" as "Babysitting Ninja" which is a far, far cooler concept as far as Wii ware games would go.

Now I just need to figure out if it's the babysitter that's the ninja, or if it's just some norm that takes care of a bunch of ninja-babies...

It's a Tension Sheet game! But why isn't it red? :/

while i love the wii, i think this game is indicative of the real problem that the system has. Bubble wrap is used as a packaging material, wheres the content that is supposed to be packaged along with it?

EPIC story and gameplay.
I mean, this is what video games are about.
I am expecting Microsoft and Sony to announce they are leaving the gaming business due to the iminent success of this game.
There are rumors that Wii is coming out with 6 sided blocks with letters on each side that you can build and spell words with. The controls will take the fun to a whole other level. Well, I'm off to create some more Miis..
