Zombii Attacks WiiWare, Viral Infestion Imminent, Authorities Searching For Cure

Gamers Digital Brings Physics Based Downloadable Arcade-Style Zombii Attack To Nintendo's WiiWare Service, Rated E10+

EXCELSIOR, Minnesota (JANUARY 5, 2011) — Gamers Digital in association with Motiviti, have issued a state of video game emergency.  Zombii Attack is an enjoyable virus now available exclusively on Nintendo’s WiiWare™ for 500 Wii Points™. Zombii Attack is a full fledge physics based apocalyptic experience.

The Zombii Attack virus has spread worldwide. The unknown virus brings the dead back to life by triggering the brain’s amygdala which unleashes superhuman amounts of key emotional responses, mainly uncontrollable rage and aggression. The famous Dr. Zii has issued an urgent plea to all surviving gamers to keep on the lookout for a rare subspecies of undead that may harbor a cure. Time is running out and the undead are multiplying in astronomical numbers. It is video game Darwinism at its most terrifyingly fun.

Those who fall under the infectious spell of Zombii Attack may experience entertaining symptoms of contagion including intense feelings of exhilaration, thunderous releases of laughter and an overwhelming sense of competitive joy as they terminate hordes of hungry undead flesh eaters looking for humans to munch on.

“We at Gamers Digital are issuing a state of emergency. All gamers should aggressively launch frenzied attacks using all environmental items and explosives at their disposal. Use destructible environments to your advantage. Upgrade ammo and defenses regularly. It is said that it is darkest before the dawn, but please keep hope alive because Dr. Zii is racing to find a cure using a very rare type of zombii that potentially harbors a cure,” said Scott Zerby, president of Gamers Digital.

Armed with a powerful slingshot, survivors must wield strategic aiming and uncompromising force in their crusade against zombii hordes through 18 mayhem filled levels using the Wii Remote™.  At shops, survivors who have executed creative kills and collected samples from rare subspecies of zombii should spend hard earned cash to upgrade arsenal and fortify defenses.

“As the Zombii Attack continues please remember that you are faced with two options, launch or lunch. Thanks to the Unity game engine, survivors should use destructible environments, deadly anvils, heavy tires, highly-explosive z-bombs and even the undead to their strategic advantage. It is the only way to survive at this time,” said Tadej Gregorcic, CTO of the development studio Motiviti.

When Zombii Attack’s infectious fun takes over, the only known cure is to recognize the warning signs, arm your slingshot, reinforce your defenses and enjoy laying waste to all the attacking zombies before they eat you. Lunch or launch, it’s up to you.

Zombii Attack is rated “E10+” by the ESRB. For more information on Zombii Attack, please visit http://www.gamersdigital.com.

Talkback

Well after a glorious December I suppose I can't complain about this seemingly lackluster week in the eShop. I can't help but be annoyed by the lack of anything going up in the virtual console.

Olimar77January 05, 2012

I've not purchased anything from WiiWare in so long. I feel like I should blindly buy Zombie Attack just to support the service.

leahsdadJanuary 05, 2012

I just sort of wonder if the eshop and virtual console really matter to Nintendo....or if this is maybe a pet project of a few higher-ups.  As much as I love the services and spend quite a bit of money on them, I have a feelling that if their download services are even profitable, it barely represents even a single digit percentile in Nintendo's overall worldwide business.  If it was a bigger priority or meant big business, I think we'd see a lot more effort in not just publicizing Thursday releases, but maybe curating the VC releases a little better.

And I also think we will never see GBA VC's in this hardware generation.  Geez, we've barely gone through less than 30 GB games and 2 GBC games.  There are literally hundreds more where those came from.  And where's the Game Gear and TG16? 

bhurakJanuary 06, 2012

Yeah not a hot week. I was sort of hoping for smb.  I'd love to see NES titles for non-ambassador 3DS.  Bonus points if  they do it as a 3d Classic.
