If there's one thing we learned from
Nintendo's presentation at E3 earlier this year, it's that
snowboarding injuries are often hilarious playing imaginary drums is like,
the coolest-looking action that anyone could ever hope to perform. 505 Games, whose publishing repertoire includes PAL versions of
Cooking Mama and
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, will attempt to capture said lightning in a bottle with
their upcoming Wii rhythm game We Rock: Drum King. We think we know who's winning the coveted "Best Video Game Title of 2009" award.
The title, which is being developed by ARC System Works (the minds behind WiiWare "games"
Family Glide Hockey and
Family Table Tennis), is currently slated for a Europe-only release of April 2009. Based on a brief explanation provided in a press release, gameplay sounds like it will be reminiscent of
Guitar Hero, with players using two Wiimotes to "air drum" along with a song, as designated by multicolored bars moving along a track. We will be
heartbroken if this one doesn't make it across the Atlantic.
