Looks cool! I want a new use for those stupid bongos! lol

So is this some sort of Art puzzle game? I'm a little confused because of the jewels, the electric thing in the middle, and the sun on the right. Oh and jg223, you know what would be cool! If Gamecube games were avalible for download and Donkey Konga 3 was an import title!

finally some use for my DK Bongos.Its sad that a third party is using it still while nintendo doesnt care about it anymore.

Interesting. i'll probably get this one

Not to sound impatient, but when are you guys scheduled for your interview with Bplus?

Definetly the first Wiiware game I'll (as long as it comes out first) I've been excited for this game for a long time, and it sounds like so much fun! Even though 1500 points is steep, admittedly I don't care.

12 players on one system, now that's nuts and plus I need something to play with my DK Bongos! Go Bplus!

1500 - Not that steep considering the amount of depth to this game.
And yes, DK Bongo support is GREAT!

I'm looking forward to this with eager anticipation and I've set aside 1500 Points waiting for its release. I'm so stoked, especially being the avid Puzzle fan that I am.

I don't know about this game...will wait for more information

1500 points is as expensive as WiiWare gets... For 100 levels of a puzzler? Well, I guess that's just 15 points per...

12 local player multiplayer? Er... How? Unless they have it one using the Wiimote and another using a Nunchuck... The Wii can't address more than four Wiimotes... I don't think the GC controller ports add another four, but even if they do, that still leaves four. Very bizarre...

Ah-ha! Wikipedia says the 12-player mode is ONLINE, not offline. THAT makes sense.

10. WarioFan63 16 Jun 2008, 02:16 GMT

For the record, the GC Controller ports DO count for more players. At least as far as Ive seen from 5 player Turbografx games.

11. Peznaze 16 Jun 2008, 05:50 GMT

So it seems. They planned on 8P local multiplayer with 4 Wiimotes and 4 Bongos, but Nintendo told them they can't do the Bongos, so they did 8P with "sharing of Wiimotes/Nunchucks"... Sounds like a great use for wireless nunchucks, but Nintendo's suing Nyko over those.... Guess Nintendo doesn't like Plattchen very much.

12. KnucklesSonic8 18 Jun 2008, 17:06 GMT

I'm furious at the fact that Nintendo did that. Plattchen is my most anticipated title and I was very ticked when I found out.

Anyways, it won't deter me. I'm still greatly anticipating its release and I hope I'll have points to be able to buy it on the day of!!! Here's hoping for a release next month

Peznaze: You're right, about Wireless Nunchuks,

Wow! I read about this in Wikipedia and stopped when I heard it was a puzzle game(I was assuming falling block puzzles), but this honestly sounds cool, can't wait(yes I can).

Funny, that wikipedia thing happened with Helix(when I heard it was a music game, usually hate those), too. It's a good thing I found this site, other wise I'd be missing out on some great games!

14. Chipmunk777 22 Jun 2008, 01:58 GMT

Um....... What do you do? (The description is sort of vague.....) I guess I'll go wikipedia it real quick. That wiki entry was also somewhat vague....

So, back to my original question: What do you do? What's so exciting about it? What warrants the $15 price tag (and presumably high number of blocks required)?

15. KnucklesSonic8 24 Jun 2008, 19:01 GMT

For one there's over 100 levels to play through, there's an in-depth multiplayer mode contain sub-modes, and I think I read over "100 hours of playtime", also. Anyway, it contains high replay value.

Details aren't that descriptive about it but it's a mix between shooter and puzzle and consider that you'll be "twisting and painting" and you can probably tell how innovative it will be.

This is my most anticipated title and I'm REALLY looking forward to this. I can't wai tunitl Nintendo finally releases it. And to be honest, the less we know the better. IT's better ot be surprised than have expectations shattered, leaving you disappointed (as was probably the case for some, unlike myself, for Gyrostarr). Secrecy is an advantage in this case.

100 hours on a puzzle game? and on a puzzle game that is 43mb or less? oh well, this SEEMS interesting, but i want to know the gameplay.

17. Terranigma 28 Jun 2008, 06:29 GMT

This one is bound to be big on memory blocks. I heard that because they had to get rid of the DK bongos, there's a new mode called "Bomb Rain Party Mode"
