Medaverse Studios
Their first game will be called "Gravitronix".
Quote
Details:
-Gravitronix is an action/battle game for 1-4 players (possibly 8).
-The game takes place in a single-screen arena.
-The objects seen in the logo are your weapons.
-Projectiles will have different physics.
-There will be a great deal of depth in the control scheme.
-Veteran players will master maneuvers which make rookie players cry "HAX!!!"
Nothing else but a press release, though.
There was also bPlus who announced a game called "PLÄTTCHEN twist ’n’ paint"(their logo is too big to post). Looks like they're an Austrian company.

).The obvious response is to be patient, but I've been freaking patient waiting for WiiWare to even come out, where are the games!! I can play puzzlers free on sites like Yahoo! and MSN, adding Wiimote controls isn't really going to sell me.
Edit: If they end up making the Paranoia game seen here with very early concenpt art, for WiiWare then I take back what I said.

Also it seems that the Meda guys are aware that puzzlers are common so they want to make it a different one, so I say wait to see with what they come up with.

I thought the objects in the logo were the puzzle pieces, hence my thought that it was a puzzler.
Now I need more info on the game, those details dont really explain the game.

Though I'd personally want to see some indie 2D platformers over WiiWare.

Indeed. I heard that Meteos was programmed by a small team of developers and look at how that turned out.

2D platformers, 2D arcade shooters, 2D RPGs...I wonder what the limitations will be. Will WiiWare games be net-capable? Are the graphics going to be limited? When is Nintendo going to release hard drive support?

Is the site trying to avoid doing news about Wii Ware developers in fear they might be fake and/or become vaporware developers a la Nibris?

I'm sure GoNintendo will go insane with it soon enough anyway.
As for Nibris, I'm not sure, but their website is still up although the Sadness movies are no longer there.

Give them 8 years and if they still have nothing, then is vaporware. Think of the Phantom console group and Duke Nukem Forever.

We'll just wait and see if they ever actually show up with anything.

You mean besides the pictures and movies on their website? You're thinking something playable for the media right?
Post by: Smash_Brother on August 28, 2007, 02:31:44 PM
I don't want to rag on them unnecessarily, but they're a classic example of jumping the gun.
Hopefully, these new WiiWare devs will be wiser.

Stolen concept art is bad, m'kay.
Looks more and more like they're completely full of it every day.

Anyways, you can add Pop to the list!
Quote
New games development studio Nnooo (pronounced NO!) have announced the development of Pop for Nintendo's WiiWare™ service. The single and multi-player game will give gamers the chance to burst their way through waves of bubbles - grabbing power-ups, multipliers, chains and aiming for worldwide high-scores.
Pop is designed to be enjoyed by all ages, either in single player or with up to three friends and allows people to steal points from opponents and use the controller to pump up the bubbles for bigger explosions. It is based around a simple concept which anyone can pick and play with layers of skill involved. Core gamers and those new to the Wii™, or games in general, will all find it enjoyable.
And hey! They're aussie!
