    Zoink Eats Up Wii With Wiiwaa

    Zoink Entertainment, the force behind upcoming Wii platformer The Kore Gang, have released a promo video for their latest effort on the system, Wiiwaa. Aimed at children, it appears to be an adventure game...that's controlled by a soft toy.

    Users insert the Wii remote into an adorable big-lipped creature's gob - thankfully having being changed from an earlier trailer where the controller gained entry via more dubious means - and away they go. To move, make your creature perform a walking motion. Jump, lift him up. Duck, dodge him down. You get the picture. He also has some handles attached to his back by elastic that allow you to spring him around.

    From the looks of things it's going to be a semi-on rails adventure with the odd excursion into the realm of mini-games that rely on rhythm. You'll also have to care for your creature throughout.

    Over to Klaus Lyngeled, Creative Director at Zoink Entertainment.

    "Use your Wiiwaa puppet to control this little fellow just like a puppeteer would do. Walk, jump, dance, do crazy somersaults - whatever you do with your Wiiwaa puppet directly affects the Wiiwaa in the game. This innovative control system makes it super intuitive to tell the creature where to go and what to do. I don't think there has ever been a simpler and more natural way to play a videogame. Just pop in your controller and your Wiiwaa comes to life on the screen! The Wiiwaa plush toy expands the game from the screen and into the living room. Your hero and friend is right there with you, and you can continue playing with him even after the game console has been switched off."

    "Wiiwaa is a game that transcends gender and age. Kids will appreciate the simplicity of it and how natural it feels to play. With this game, parents provide non-violent, intelligent entertainment for their kids that even motivates them to exercise their physique and train their coordination skills. But it is not strictly a game for kids - like in a Pixar movie, there is something in there for everyone. Grown-up gamers too will enjoy the action, the humor and the freshness of the experience. We are working hard to make sure the game is enjoyable for the whole family and for all age groups."


    Check out the trailer of the latest insane/genius idea for the system. We've added some lovely pictures of the beast to the database, too, for your perusal.



    Zoink are still on the look out for publishers and distribution partners for Wiiwaa.

    What do you reckon? What do you want to see become a peripheral next?

    I saw Wiiwaa quite a while ago and immediately fell in love.
    I think this is an actually innovative peripheral.
    Plus, he's cute.
    Do want.

    Well, it seems to be aimed at children... but I'm 30 and the concept and execution are just so great I'm thinking I would buy it for me.

    Good old fun is never wrong. Best of luck to them. Hopefully they get a publisher and we get to play this creative game.

    Too bad they couldn't get a publisher before christmas since it would have easily sold 100,000 if, as Phoeniux has said, it is advertised right.
