THQ announced that they will be bringing the Worms franchise to the Nintendo Wii with a new title called Worms: A Space Oddity.
Gamasutra says that this new title will include four-person online play, new enviromental settings, "re-invented single-player missions," party games, and motion gesture control to the Spring 2008 release.
It also seems that THQ is aiming for a new graphical style, dropping the cartoon-ish look of earlier titles for a "distinctive style inspired by classic Sci-Fi looks."
Gamasutra also tells us that the March-launched Worms for Xbox Live Arcade continues to rank in the top 5 in both sells and gaming sessions.

I'm really happy there are companies who know how to utilize the Wii controllers.
Huh? They're worms with eyes that speak italian and german.
They're allowed to look cartoony guys, we really don't mind.

Not as cool.
The important thing is : is it online?
Yes, I saw it in a store today. If I had the money, I would buy it. Can't be worse than "Worms 3D".
Should be a great game but I wouldn't have minded the X360 version of Worms too on the Virtual Console
keep it simple stupid!
