Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

My Cat Found A Game He Likes On The Wii
Tubatic | 1:16 AM on 11.24.2009 25 comments




Meet Andy.

Andy, being a wisened old cat of 3 years, isn't moved by much. Having spent a significant chunk of his life in entertainment (He's done shows, ya know!), he derives no greater pleasure than to enjoy his early retirement in peace. Andy's seen it all, heard it all, and stands generally unphased by the likes of even the finest HD gaming session. If there was ever a cat that was to be a faithful companion to the many adventures I have as a gamer, he wouldn't be it. Thunderous explosions, flashing lighting powers, and giant enemy crab simply don't do it for a sophisticated retired ragdoll such as he.

But tonight, Andy lunged from his perch and sat rapt with attention in front of the TV, staring intensely at the screen and its natural movement. He waited, poised, ready to take advantage of the foolish glutton dot, should it escape its flattened plane of existence and manifest in jumping distance. I had to caution him against it: cat claw and tube glass won't mesh well. Andy soon realized well enough what was happening, but maintained no less interest than before.

He returned to his seat on top of the sofa, and stared captivated at the screen. The soft light flashes. The hypnotically floating blackness. Constant movement contrasted well within the spectrum of his understanding, but not beyond the limits of his awe. Even the playful annoyances of his foster brother, Simon, could not wrest Andy's gaze from the electric light show that was setting his mind afire. This was his type of game. This made sense to him. This was his Citizen Kane.

This is Andy and he's watching me play BIT.TRIP Void.

At least your cat has some taste.

At E3, when asked of the appeal of the Wii, Nintendo of America President Mr. Reggie Fil-Aime told me cats love it. I never believed him until now. Reggie knows all.

Quite interesting... does this also happen with the other Bit.Trip games?

My cats are partial to BlazBlue. Bright colors seem to be the main part of their fascination.

HOLY SHIT THAT'S SO WEIRD!

I was going to say the exact same thing. One of my cats (the one I held to my face in that Silent Hill pic) absolutely loves Bit.Trip VOID. She's a big part of why I still can't beat the first level.

@Subenu

Beat didn't do a thing for him, and I haven't opened up Core in months. :)

I think he's tracking the Void, mostly. But the pulsing background and constant, smooth movement probably heightens the experience.

My cats never pay attention to my games. They just sit in my lap and purr at me until I put the controller down and pet them.

Cat's love VOID because they are smart and have great taste. However, I still hate cats.

Awesome neko is awesome!

My cat has been temporarily enamored with moving objects in Borderlands...and any wildlife television show on PBS. She's an attention whore, however, and demands that I spend any free time playing "catch" with her. =^..^=

I don't have a cat, but way back when I had a kitten that would climb my back whenever I played Fallout 3.

Cute mofo.

My cat has never been too interested in games, but she WILL chase around a mouse cursor and bat at the computer monitor if I draw for her in MS Paint.

My dogs got really into Okami and Twilight Princess...and any commercial or TV show that involves dogs. Sometimes it gets so bad I have to take them into another room.

As far as Bit Trip goes, I just downloaded VOID yesterday and it's going to take some getting used to.

Lol, that is one cute cat. My cat doesn't play games, she just watches unflinchingly as I play them!

Cats are colorblind.

And I just tried to get my cat to watch me play Bit Trip Void. Nothin. Then I tried Tetris DS and Sonic Rush on the DS. Nothin. Then I let my cat listen to that Daft Punk song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." His head was moving to the beat, so cute.

I can totally agree with Cadtalfryn on this. My dog always enjoyed me playing any game where the player was a canine of some sort. Recent games that come to mind are Okami and Twilight Princess (surprisingly both the Wii version). Every time I would start playing he would jump on the couch and continuously watch me play. Other games, he never really cared for. Weird stuff must be going on in our pets' minds.
