Former head of Sonic Team Yuji Naka and his new studio, Prope, have opened up a teaser Web site for an untitled upcoming game.
The site doesn't offer much information on the title, but does promise a "World first, a game that even penguins can play." While we have no idea what in the hell that means, it may not be long until we find out. The Web site promises that the game will be revealed in 17 days, which just happens to be the first day of Tokyo Game Show.
It looks like until then, we'll have to speculate. A game that could be played by penguins, eh? Well, a penguin might have trouble using its flippers to operate a traditional controller, but wouldn't have much of a problem with the Wii Balance Board. Also, the "17 days" was changed from "ten days," which would have coincided nicely with Nintendo's October 3 press conference.
Hmmm ...

There is a difference between casual and casual mini-games. Halo and Rock Band are casual games. Raving Rabbids and a lot of Wii games are casual mini-games
Calling games "casual" is stupid, anyhow.
@nick Chester
They should be 'called occasional' gamers, and i agree, even though Halo 3 didnt appeal to me, im not so bitter as to name it casual...Its like saying Final Fantasy series are casual..Someone wanted to start a fanboy sloggin match me thinks.or he miss typed it as he choked on his own job lot of spunk.
I know people who aren't gamers and all they say they play are Halo and RockBand/Guitar Hero.
So does that make the games or the gamer "casual"?
@Waffleman:
So what you're trying to say is that Sonic was Yuji Naka's idea and Naoto Oshima brought him coffee during the development of the first title?
On the cereal though:
Could it be a new Penguin Land game? Other than that game, I don't remember any Sega made games focusing on penguins.
Oh blow it out yours Chester.
You know, like a man who wears "comfortable shoes"?
because Halo doesn't feel very casual to me. Actually, I always end up sweating when I play Rock Band so that doesn't seem very casual to me either.
Off to play a nice relaxing bit of Warhammer. WAAAGH!
get hype!
