Here at the Destructoid office we've always joked that someone would take Wii motion control too far and make a hair cutting game. We joked that it would be called "Cut That Sh*t!" or something similar. And now it's really happening.

The Redken brand of salon cosmetics teamed up with publisher Little Orbit to make Busy Scissors, a hairstyling simulation for the Wii and DS.In it you'll cut, color, blow dry and shampoo hair, working to make special clientele happy. There's 25 hairstyles, 20 minigames and lots of product placement. The press release goes on about the hair detail:

Manifest Oranj, the game’s developer, spent months working with industry experts to emulate the real hair styles used in the game. Each salon technique was demonstrated and filmed by the team, before it was re-created in 3D and designed as a mini-game

The company is ramping up to show the game off to the public at Gamescom later this month. We'll make sure our news team there gives it a try.

GOTY?

I know what I'm getting for Christmas.

Mr Andy Dixon

Can't wait for the HD port to hit Move. If ever there was a system seller...

@mrandydixon: Imagine the Kinect port! MY GOD.

But then kids everywhere will think working in a salon is FUN. Working in a salon is not fun. Dammit, Redken! :(

Xhumation

What? a hair cutting game?

...so I take it that no one in the Dtoid offices has played Bonzai Barber on WiiWare?

areess

Still waiting on one of the motion systems to help revolutionize eroge. I need an interactive rape sim...

Why would Nintendo allow such blatant advertising for a product line on their consoles? Do we next get to see the the "Mcflipburgers" Wii game where you get to assemble two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and a seasame seed bun??

Sexualchocolate

I'm pretty sure there is a market for this.

coldalarm

@Dale; You've spelt "seriously" wrong in the header.

But, wow. What an... "interesting" game. I'll be sure to give it a miss.

zombiekiller13

We can't get a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil, but this exists.

Sad.

Electrium

I hope it has Bayonetta style QTEs.

AwesomeExMachina

These 'trying to replicate boring aspects of reality' games are going to get so meta at some point, we'll be playing boring reality simulator games where you play a programmer designing a boring reality simulator game for the Wii.

Talía

What is this crap? O.o

PvPPY

aww man... I know for sure my daughter's going to get this and then the hard parts are going to be too hard and she's going to make me do them all for her.

Capm Trevo

What about Banzai Barber? That game was the shit!!

Sean Carey

"As you can see, it sucks as it cuts!"

"It certainly does suck."

spongeboy1985

Only 25 hair styles !!!!! Can't they do like 50 at LEAST 100 would be good

MigueTK

Jaffacakelover

Is that floating hand reaching to grab the hot end of a curling iron? Amateur!

Loogibot

Clearly GOTY. I called first!

janoDX

This will be released on wii, ps3 and 360 and will be a super hit beating Black Ops as GOTY...

Occams electric toothbrush

Darren Nakamura

Serioiusly?

Pinguicha

If the game is as half as nice as the Redken shampoo, I'm getting it. Maybe then I'll also be able to hack off my own hair.

EdgyDude

@Dale North: "GOTY?"

Maybe, if most of those 25 styles are Lady Gaga's hairdos Zxyliac alone would buy half of the existence.

Moloks

Oh man, I've read the name of that game too fast, thought it was called Busty Scissors...

I wish I was right, I would totally buy that game.

poetry4u

Each to their own - my kids cant wait to get their hands on this game - certainly something different. And Yea, we can make awesomer a word - it's called poetic licence and we have it.

SAMA1984

Who is willing to bet that many people who get the game will try making a mohawk hairstyle within a half hour of playing.
