Remember that Japanese Tetris video, where contestants have to contort their bodies to safely pass though gaps on fast-approaching walls? Well, this upcoming WiiWare game by Nintendo and KeysFactory looks a lot like that.
Surinuke Anatousu, which means "going through holes," has you flipping an assortment of shapes (called "katamari," I kid you not) in 3D space and squeezing through holes to reach the end of each level before time expires. You can perform tricks by drawing silhouettes with your pieces to fill in an entire hole or earn bonus points by picking up gems along the way. It's nuts, it's lovely, and it looks hella fun.
The game drops on September 7th for 800 Points in Japan, but I'm sure it'll pop up in the West sooner or later.

@Alex, chill and imagine an "also" at the end of my last post if that bothers you so much. I merely meant they were both shown at about the same time yet Fluidity wasn't posted about here for no reason at all. And it does look cooler :)
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

It's not exactly a common word.
