Ninjabee hints at fireball-tossing Avatars

Here's an interesting one.
Ninjabee, creator of some of the better
XBLA games out there (
Cloning Clyde,
A Kingdom for Keflings) recently posted a
somewhat cryptic Twitter message. The tweet reads simply, "Here's the big news for the day: Ever wanted to throw a fireball with your Avatar?" The message is followed by a link leading to the
image above, with the somewhat less cryptic message, "Soon you'll be able to use your Avatar in ways it hasn't been used before..."
First, the obvious answer to the question is a hearty "yes." We want our Avatars to do a lot of things, including some of the
things they aren't allowed to do. Second, just what is this message all about? Dare we hope that Ninjabee is working up some kind of Avatar fighting game, perhaps in the manic style of
Super Smash Bros. or possibly, dream of dreams,
Power Stone? We've reached out to Ninjabee and will let you know as soon as we hear more.
In the meantime ...
speculate.
