Shootanto evolves into a North American WiiWare release

In case you're not familiar with the game (now being called Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem), a game we previously said "looks hilariously ill-conceived and poorly made, and is probably great fun to play and laugh at": it's a shooter about monkeys fighting giant plants and lizardmen. As your monkey progresses through the game, it evolves into a missing-link creature, a caveman, a knight, and finally into a modern soldier. All of whom shoot at lizardmen.
Hudson plans to release the game sometime this fall, and it could find an audience if the company markets it as a B-movie experience. Of course, since it's a WiiWare game, nobody's going to market it at all. If it does manage to become a success, it could lead to more localization of niche Japanese WiiWare games from Hudson. Like the Shootanto sequel!

Isn't this a ripoff of that one Monkey Ball minigame?

Barf-o. Reminds me of Evolution, the old ColecoVision release comprised of boring, loosely associated mini-games. In it, you'd evolve from a bacteria to a frog to a mouse to a beaver to an ape, and then finally man, who fought mutants until a nuclear apocalypse ended the human race and started the whole thing from the beginning.
