Explodemon! is a 2.5D action platform game with an explosive main character. Mixing classic platforming action – from classics such as Mario and MegaMan – with the refined contemporary gameplay of Halo and Half-Life 2, it brings old-school gameplay bang up to date. Coming from Curve’s deep-seated love of video game culture and history, Explodemon! is wrapped up as a loving homage to SNES-era Japanese action games.

Explodemon! will release on PSN, PC and WiiWare in 2009.

This game really does look good though, kinda like Iron Man meets Mega Man in a nice looking side scroller platformer.

I just noticed this on the site that is formerly known as WiiWare World.
Looks like the platformer genre is about to explode on WW.

You have this and the Musketeer game coming, plus Furry Legends and the eventual Lost Winds 2. Lots of neat platformer-type games on the horizon.

Looks like it could lots of fun!  I'll definitely keep my eye on it.  I just hope that the WiiWare version isn't gimpped compared to the XBLA and PSN versions.

Funny bit:  Until I saw the end of the trailer I was pronouncing the game's title to it rhymes with Pokemon.  ;D

What is this?  Obscure WiiWare day or something?  Why do we have all these new threads for random WiiWare games no one's ever heard of?

There's no XBLA version I think though XBLA gets 'Splodeman which seems to have the same concept.

Someone needs to inform GamerBytes of that fact.

EDIT:  Looks like someone did.

The game looks really nice from the trailer. The more fun platformers on wiiware is always a good thing.

I think these games need to be showcased and discussed more. WiiWare was made in the best intentions of getting more developers to work on the service, so the more talk their games get the better.

Also the discussion comes up because stuff got announced. For some reason April 1 was a big announcement day, maybe because of fiscal years or something.

When the hell is this game coming out?  I haven't heard a peep about it since April.

I think it kind of had its thunder stolen by the very similar game that is XBLA exclusive.
similar gameplay & title.

Hope no one was looking forward to this title--it's a PSN-exclusive.  :(

The good news is it looks like it might just be a timed exclusive.  No word on whether Sony ponied up some dough for exclusivity or if they were just having problems fitting the game into WiiWare's size limit.

"for the moment" makes it sound like it's just a timed exclusive.

Considering they dropped the PC which has no limits at all I'd guess moneyhats.

Why money hat a PSN game? Especially when the only competition is the Wii. Seems an odd decision. But if Sony wants to waste cash like that then so be it.
