Commander: Start the Internet speculation train, this just got real photo

I’ll never fully understand what makes viral marketing fun. Is it the rampant speculation? Is it realizing that you were totally wrong? Is it hunting down the clues? Regardless, the Commander Web site has been updated again. This time we get a picture and a song to mull over.

The picture features a black-figure character against a solid blue background. He’s humanoid in form, but the cyclopean eye certainly disproves the text on the image that states, “I am only a man.” The music is a simple little ditty that makes me think old school puzzle game.

Last week Tubatic broke it down quite nicely, finally arriving at the possibility that it could be Cursed Mountain or a Zone of Enders sequel. Nintendoll thought a little bit more outside the box and arrived at the conclusion that it was a game about Skeletor. Nick Chester backed her up by posting a picture.

Does anyone have any more ideas? Remember, as indicated by our first Commander post, this appears to be a Wii-exclusive title.

@Daxelman - Commander Keen, eh? Is there any one thing that tipped you off or is it just the vibe you're getting?

I think its pretty clear from the "4" link off that that this is being made by some small indepenedent game maker, which pretty much rules out all this speculation about ZOE sequels or even it being related to a Cursed Mountain. It's just an unknown company with an obscure game trying to get some attention.

...So am I the only one who thought that picture looked kinda...phallic-y?

Still, a ZOE sequel would be awesome, but I'm going to force myself not to believe that for now. Instead, I'll go with Yaisuah's independent studio theory and propose that it may be a Wiiware title, or perhaps even some faux-revolutionary XBLA title with aspirations to become the next Braid.

Yeah, these two things totally throw me off the scent.

Unless that tiny man is inserted into a larger robot sprite, and the music is an OCremix of some konami game, I'd say the link to ZOE is dunked.

that is the only thing that image makes me think of though.

Reminds me of the robots from the arcade game Berzerk.
