WiiWare PWNS, enter Gyrostar

I'm getting an amplitude/frequency vibe from this, at least in the visual department.

Oh and not to pick nits or anything but Gyrostarr has two R's.
 
Once more, it looks awesome, and once more, it looks like there will be eaten crow on the statement:

It'll probably also suck, like everything from this company.

Obviously there's no way of knowing if this is any good, but it sure as hell looks fucking awesome, and I can't wait to get it and jump into some multiplayer awesomeness :D

fixed, almost did the "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" :)

Damn, they need a bigger fridge, c'mon Nintendo.
 
Wow, that does look nice, and it has co-op? Another launch title to keep an eye on.
 
I'll repeat myself:

That looks way far more interesting than that FPS generic/bad art game.

And add, that third partys should stick doing Wiiware games...

I think at some point a few companies will make a stab at "best visuals on the wii" seeing how much they can squeeze out of lesser hardware, not a bad thing at all.

We know the 360/PS3 can put of great visuals, just how much juice can someone get out of our beloved Gamecube turbo....
 
Why has High Voltage pretty much only done licensed games over the past decade or so.


Oh, that's right, because not even the fucking Conduit can even find a publisher


Their current stuff looks great.
 
WiiWare continues to look at least seven times better than Wii retail at 30% the cost. As a cheap tightwad, I'm delighted.
 
DO want. I like that they're not going the dual stick route, too many of them anyway.
 
Either I missed this before or they just now edited it in:
Gyrostarr seems to run in both 480p and 16:9 widescreen modes and features an electronica-influenced soundtrack that is well matched to the on-screen action. The WiiWare launch title will cost 700 Wii Points ($7) -- a good bargain. With games like this, LostWinds and World of Goo set to debut with or shortly thereafter the launch of WiiWare in America, we couldn't be more excited about the forthcoming service.

Yeah they just edited it in, it said this before:

Currently, High Voltage has not announced a price point for the WiiWare launch title, but we'll keep you posted as information becomes available.

$7 for this awesome looking piece of asskickery? Sold. I am so completely WiiWare's bitch. This also seems to confirm it is a launch title now.
 
This looks great! It reminds me of the PlayStation games N2O: Nitrous Oxide and Nanotek Warrior. Looks like another game to put on my WiiWare want list.

tempest 2000 crossed with the special stage from sonic 2

Yes, it's got a Tempest 2000/Tempest 3000 vibe to it as well.

BTW, High Voltage worked on some of the conversions of Tempest 2000 (including the PlayStation version, known as Tempest X3), so they've got a bit of experience here.

Why this game find his place on Wiiware and Conduit still didn't have a publisher.

Oh, that's right, because Conduit looks ugly,generic with bad designs and this looks novelty, simple but fun with vivid visual style.
 
I really like the way IGN is helping these guys.

First they brought us screens of Conduit, now publishers have gotten in touch with them about it...

Now they've put up videos and Mp3s for this game, and they look great.

I'm definitely gonna get this one, and if Conduit is any good, I'll get that too.
