Details on Hudson's upcoming WiiWare release are unveiled, but no official date has been announced.
Adventure Island: The Beginning is the newest game in Hudson's long-running franchise that hasn't seen a release since 1995. As series star Master Higgins, players traverse through many stages across the island. The Adventure Island series is known for its challenging difficulty due to a constantly depleting hunger meter and the quick reflexes needed to avoid enemies and obstacles.
The story begins similarly to previous games in the series as Master Higgins is enjoying a relaxing time with his girlfriend Tina when King Quiller appears out of nowhere and kidnaps her. Higgins then valiantly goes after his love and his foe.
The new European website offers tidbits on gameplay, including game modes ranging from the single player affair to four multiplayer mini-games, the items you'll use in the adventure, and a look at Master Higgins' feats, which are a series of achievements that unlock new outfits and caps for Higgins to wear.
A final release date and price has yet to be revealed. You can view the website here.
