Quantcast



 While I'm inclined to argue that the last thing the Wii needs is a game that look like a pre-schooler's construction paper project gone awry, Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy does sound like it's bringing some unique concepts to the table. Announced today by Majesco Entertainment Company, the Budcat Creations developed side-scroller will attempt to set itself apart from the crowd by letting players create their own levels, ships, and enemy ships.

The game will also feature a unique "stickiness" gameplay feature, allowing players to absorb pieces and weapons of destroyed enemy ships to updgrade their own craft. Upgrades will also be available in "the Hanger," which will allow you to customize weapons, propulsion systems, and armor.

When players grow tired of traversing the game's 15 different land, air, and sea missions, they can create their very own ship from scatch with the Ship Editor, or design their own custom level. Budcat Creations also assumes you have friends (likely story!), and has included a cooperative two-player mode.

Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy is set for a Fall release.

Okay, are developers now just making fun of the Wii's lack of horsepower?

The original freeware PC game can be found here along with a wack of the creator's other original games.

I really hope developers realize that they can make good complex games instead of porting over flash shit from the web.

This would be ok for a wii-ware title, $5-$10, but a packaged product? Hmmmm..

Looks like Star Fox for the SNES. Remember the awesome 3d graphics of that game?

WTF? Like Datafusion said that's Tumiki Fighters! Even the enemies look exactly the same. Glad to see that game in a console, hope they arn't ripping out Kenta Cho's work...

And, believe it or not, it's a fun game, despite its lack of fancy shaders and that shit.

TUMIKI Fighters was really one of Kenta Cho's breakout projects. For my money I'd much rather see Torus Trooper or Gunroar, but I guess I don't speak for everybody.

Yeah, this game is a hell of a lot of fun. I hope it's not a rip off.

Wait, is this Tumiki Fighters or not?

I don't know how much time I've burned on Warning Forever.

This actually looks like the Gummi Ship stuff from Kingdom Hearts, only 2D... which, to me, actually sounds awesome.

It's Tumiki fighters, and seeing as this announcement happend the day after the WiiWare announcement, it's not unlikely this will be a WiiWare game.

And an awesome one at that.

If its fun and simple (and cheap) like Geometry Wars, then I'll check it out. Maybe.

Why don't they just re-release P-47 Thunderbolt on Virtual Console and be done with it?
