Mercury Meltdown Revolution releasing at $19.99 with perfect blob physics photo

When I heard that Ignition Entertainment was bringing a new installment of the Mercury series to the Wii, I knew that there'd only be one thing that would compel me to want to play: it would have to be free. 

Hitting shelves on September 25, Mercury Meltdown Revolution for the Nintendo Wii comes about as close to free as retail will allow -- $19.99. The game (which has players guiding mercury blobs through Mouse Trap-like mazes) will support Wii Remote tilt controls, and include over 150 levels. And of course, Nintendo wouldn't approve any title unless it contained "loads of mini-games that create a great deal of fun for the whole family!"

While the Itagaki's of the world are obsessing over boob physics, Ignition have another mission in mind.

"With over 2 years of franchise development," said Ken Grantz, the Ignition's Director of Product Development, "we've really taken the time and perfected the blob physics."

I for one am relieved that someone is finally taking blob physics seriously. My hat's off to you, Ignition.

I was worried that the blob "jiggle" wouldn't be up to par in time for release, now I feel safe...

For 19.99? How can you not pick this up next time your in a game store and you like puzzle games?

The Zelda mini-game of the rolling ball (fishing hut) was cool and made me want a full fledged version... The Wii-mote is perfect for these games.

The psp game was a lot of fun! Neat to see them putting this at such a low price point.

I was gonna pick this up anyways. It's like the next-gen version of Marble Madness. Do you guys remember that one? Trippin' balls!

You know, Itagaki could implement blob-physics into DOAX3. It could be used to accurately simulate the physical effects of what happens when male players play it for too long. Hint: it involves white blobs. Now try to visualize how that would look on screen in a 4th generation 360/PS3 game... Now think of the future of CG Hentai when you include tentacles.



Now try to erase that image from your mind, teehee! ;)

Awesome. Also, anyone interested in this should pick up Kororinpa: Marble Mania. Hour for hour the best Wii game in existence. Unfortunately, it's 4 hours.

@ The Brain: Kororinpa is absolutely one of the best Wii games out there; if Mercury Meltdown is anything like it (and it looks to be that way) then I'm definitely getting it. Kororinpa is so much fun, even when it's frustrating as hell. I could only find it at Blockbuster (to rent) - I can't find any retailers around here that carry it.

Oh yeah, I heard that you can order games on the INTERNET now! Duh! lol, i m so smrt

Pew: Actually I am having problems putting that image *into* my mind. You confused me halfway through and I got distracted and walked away. :(

I enjoyed the original game on the PSP, but the whole time I kept wishing it was tilt controlled as intended. $20 is a tempting price point.
