No screenshots just yet, but details can be read below. Seems to be a physics based puzzle game.

Nintendo’s Fluidity combines an amazing physics engine that realistically models flowing water with innovative puzzle game play. Using the three forms of water – liquid, ice and cloud – players will solve challenging puzzles across multiple chapters of an illustrated magical book called Aquaticus. The game offers detailed tutorials that introduce basic game mechanics, but the complexity quickly ramps up as special powers are acquired and enemies are introduced, testing players’ reflexes and ingenuity

From the way the PR is worded, it sounds like it's being developed internally. Still no confirmation though.

Either way, sounds interesting! :D

artstyle ?

Nab, it's not an Art Style game. Oh and yes, I really want the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games!

At least this means that Nintendo didn't unveil all of their major Wii Ware games on that US release list, meaning that there's a chance that it might still come out this year! :D

I'm so glad I hardly ever replay most games or I would probably feel the same as Spotless does. Once I've completed one, I'm done with it 95% of the time and will never go back to it again. It's understandable though.

Page won't load for me.
Is this the Miyamoto game? You know because he said he'd got into swimming recently and he always seems to base his next game on what he's interested in at the moment (Pikmin and gardening, Nintendogs and having a dog)

Any PR info? I can't log in myself.

Do we know who is developing this? (the art style doesn't exactly scream Nintendo made IMO)

Looks fun though! I was actually expecting it to be more like a puzzle game but it's actually more like a platformer!

I refuse to buy downloadable games on Wii, because of its lack of a unified account for all your purchases.
Click to expand...

Understandable. I rarely buy WiiWare or even VC games due to this. I don't think I've bought a VC to be honest. Until I see something that shows me I can migrate my purchases over to a new system or that due to being linked to my Club Nintendo account (which you link use to register your Nintendo systems and games) I can redownload them if I buy a new system I reluctant to buy things. My WiiWare purchases include My Life as King, My Aquarium, and My Life as Dark Lord demo. I want to buy more but I don't want to lose them if my system dies or they come out with a new system on the next console.

As soon as I saw the art style in the video, I knew it wasn't internally developed. ( do you have a source by any chance? I couldn't find anything on the press site!)

Still interested in the game though!

First thing I thought of was The Incredible Machine... doesn't look like Loco Roco to me.

It doesn't necessarily look like LocoRoco, it's just that the "tilt the screen" controls are reminiscent of LocoRoco.

Yeah, the moment I saw the trailer I thought to my-self it's definitely not developed by Nintendo.
