Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



What we have here is a first look at Sniper Studios' upcoming and yet-untitled Wii game. The trailer recently appeared without much fanfare on Gametrailers, and is also viewable at Sniper Studios' official Web site.

What's it about? Who knows. Like the headline of this post says, it looks like a cross between Frank Miller's Sin City and the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch. At some point, there's hints of The Bourne Identity. No, I haven't a clue as to what's going on here. But if someone is making a film noir-style crabbing videogame, my pre-order money is halfway out of my wallet. And that's how you push the medium forward.

Sniper Studios was formed in 2006, and has produced one game to date, Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars for the PlayStation Portable.

@king3vbo

I was coming here to say exactly the same thing. It looks like a new game for Newgrounds or something.

@Demtor

Trailers are becoming ever more cryptic, and because its a Wii game they are gonna hold back more.

I can't decide, I'll keep an eye on it. Certainly has me interested.

Seems stylised games are growing on Wii.

wow, that told us nothing.

However, I do have to say that it's good developers are realizing that the Wii cannot do realistic graphics, and are making really styled games. That's the only way the "graphics" issue won't be a problem.

A prime example of what might happen if fish stocks become non-existant... fishermen get desperate...

Btw, ever heard about Russian Mafia-types and their side-business in caviar? They would kill fishermen over that.
