The website for
Eric Testroete, who recently made the rounds for his "
big head mode" Halloween costume, shows work-in-progress screens of an unannounced Wii war game he animated for
MLB Superstars developer Deep Fried Entertainment. The game uses an almost top-down, zoomed-out perspective, and appears to put the player (or players) in control of jeeps equipped with machine guns.
As
Kotaku notes, it looks rather like Konami's
Jackal, prompting the site to speculate that it's a
ReBirth made for Konami, like the recent
Castlevania, Contra, and
Gradius games. If true, it would be the first
ReBirth title
not to be developed by M2 in Japan. Of course, the American side of Konami is
also working on refreshes of old Konami franchises in the form of
Rocket Knight, so there is precedent.
