Bloober Team may have split from the Notorious N.I.B.R.I.S., but their methods seem disturbingly similar to their progenitor. They have yet to actually release any games, and after months, and some cases years, of teasing, we have nothing to go on but concept art and occasional doctored screenshots. Their most complete games have made it to the "DS homebrew program" stage. We really want Bloober Team to not be Nibris.
So it is with mixed feelings that we present this concept art of Last Flight. We can laugh at the continued non-development of Nibris's Sadness, because it sounds like a pretentious, overambitious game and we'd probably laugh at it if it came out anyway. But Last Flight, the WiiWare game about fighting vampires on an airplane, is something that we would actually like to play within our lifetime. We're glad to see Bloober Team releasing something about this game, but we're a bit worried that it's concept art.

I would like to see a plane hijacking sim, could be done very tastefully but would probably be poo pooed by the public

How could that possibly be done tastefully? Please, humour me.

Just as WWII are done tastefully. Why is that subject matter off limits, yet WWII and Vietnam aren't?

So far we don't have many 3-D adventure games on the wiiware but the ones we have are REALLY short due to the size limit for wiiware games (see Lost Winds). So I think making a game that takes place in such a small "world" like an airplane is perfect for the Wiiware... You could make a pretty long game if you can make a good use of the rooms and the player's path throughout the game. If this game is done properly, it will be a must-download.
BTW, I didn't like the Nibris bad-mouthing... "We'd probably laugh at it if it came out anyway" was too strong, I agree it's an ambicious project but you guys should go easier on them...
