Second screen kind of reminds me of Limbo.

[norinrad21]

Looking forward to this

 

[EmCeeGramr]

More screens from Famitsu:

 

[Mdk7]

WANT!

 

[iamaustrian]

hype rised x 10
looks really good

 

[ksamedi]

I'm sure glad we've been getting so many 2D platformers lately. This looks excellent.

 

[n8]

Is that a sword I see. Wounder how that will pan out.
But really, they should resize the HUD.

 

[ZAK]

That's no butterfly.

Badly need videos. How does it play??

 

[Screenboy]

looks beautiful

 

[mbnmac]

I'm trying to figure out how the actual objects that aren't shadows could play into the game beyond providing an extra layer of visuals.

You can change the direction of the light source, so depending on where the objects are, you could have an easy to climb wall or a massively high one

 

[slaughterking]

I like what I'm seeing. I don't like what Hudson did on Wii so far, though, so I will not hype myself. :I

 

[mbnmac]

Yes, the second one. I couldn't remember the title, but I've just found it on the tube.

Ha, when he passed a level; 'A winner is you!'
Very neat concept

 

[pakkit]

Beautiful.

 

[GDGF]

This looks like it could be amazing.

 

[Somnia]

Wow. This game could end up being fucking great. Let's hope they can pull this off because it looks good so far.

 

[GDGF]

Seriously. This is a brilliant concept.

 

[mutantmagnet]

Hudson have been doing some pretty cool stuff on the Wii. This looks to be the coolest though. Definitely interested.

I agree. When I look at third parties who delivered on the Wii, Hudson is among the top tier.

But Hudson's focus until now has been multiplayer games. I don't know if they'll make a good single player game but I'm now interested knowing they are involved in this project.

 

[Dragmire]

As much as I hated Ico for its gameplay, it had a great aesthetic. As long as there's no weird escort gameplay in this, which doesn't seem likely, I think it could be pretty sweet.

 

[Anso]

While the game is hot, I do hope it has SOME variation in the environment..
Anyway, WAY TO GO HUDSON, YOU MAKE ME INTERESTED IN STUFF!

...it will never come to Europe, will it?

 

[Zanmato]

Ueda cared about Mario Galaxy.

No he didn't someone asked him a question and he gave a answer.

About the game itself it's...interesting looking to say the least.

 

[vodka-bull]

It looks like a mixed menu of following ingredients: Braid, Prince of Persia and ICO. The puzzles from Braid, the atmosphere from POP and the Setting from ICO, mixed together with a little bit of a comfortable control scheme for a point & click adventure.

At least I'm hoping that my intuition doesn't fool me.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

The Wii really is starting to "hold its own" against the HD Combo in terms of third party games.

This looks great but I'll probably wait if the game costs $50.

 

[nincompoop]

This looks great but I'll probably wait if the game costs $50.

bcuz 2d games cant be worth full price lololololololololol

 

[SirPenguin]

Very intriguing and the concept is pretty cool. I hope they do a lot of fun stuff with it. I wonder how they handle the night

However, that HUD has got to go, dear god. It's gigantic and ugly. tbh this should be a HUDless game, no matter what mechanic is going on behind the scenes

 

[Night_Trekker]

for some reason When I read "Tower of Shadow" I expected a dungeon crawler. :lol

I foolishly came into the thread with a sort of quasi-hope the game would bear some resemblance to Shadow Tower (PSX).

This is a really fucking cool concept, though. Definitely on my radar now.

That wasn't what I was implying...

What would be your reason for not buying it at $50, then?

 

[Scrow]

the amount of bloom is stupid... top right of the screen is just white....

 

[jay]

The HUD should really be larger. I had to look five times to even see it.

 

[TunaLover]

They outsourced the HUD to another team? Ther thing looks totally out the place ewww.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

I only buy games at that price if they have HUGE production put into them thus warrant being priced so high.

 

[Deleted member 284]

The screen above makes me wonder a) will there be some incorporation of 3D in this game and b) could sunlight at different times of the day factor into said 3D.

Maybe I'm just setting myself up, but the thought was just screaming out at me.

 

[AniHawk]

It's really nice to see 2D platformers making a return to consoles after such a long hiatus.

That could really be awesome. As the time changed throughout the game and according to the internal clock, the obsticles would be a little different every time you played the game.


That should be a mode if not the whole game concept.

 

[Nessus]

I really hope there's a two player mode where one player controls the butterfly and thus the light source with the pointer, and other other player focuses strictly on 2D platforming with Wiimote held NES style.

That could potentially create such an awesome dynamic.

 

[Shiggy]

Konami will present this game at gamescom next week

 

[jj984jj]

Will it be playable? It'd be nice to get some impressions.

Konami? I wonder if they already gave up and will get on board to the Wii train :lol

 

[Azure Dream]

Wow, that looks shockingly good. Absolutely going to watch this one.

 

[billy.sea]

This looks very good, but I hope this is for Wiiware.

 

[cw_sasuke]

This looks very good, but I hope this is for Wiiware.

It isnt - and there is no reason why it should be.

 

[wsippel]

Not really surprising:

Hudson is a subsidary of Konami (and Nintendo is one of their biggest shareholders after Konami).

 

[TunaLover]

I had no idea, thanks for clear up

 

[meme]

This looks very good, but I hope this is for Wiiware.

Why??

This is looking really great, the concept is amazing
Can't wait till we get some videos and gameplay impressions

 

[wsippel]

Most people don't seem to know that. If you look at it this way, Konami and SquareEnix (at least in the past) really do give the Wii a lot of support, but mostly through Hudson and Taito, respectively.

 

[Shiggy]

The USK only rated a trailer.

Have you heard anything about a Rocket Knight Adventures game by Climax? They've still got a secret Wii/PSP project in the works, and some German site reported a while ago that it's a new RKA game. If it's true, I'm expecting it to be announced next week.

It's interesting to note that Konami is listed as publisher in certain regions for some of Hudson's games (mainly in Europe, but also a few in NA), but the majority of their titles are self-published worldwide. That seems odd to me, if they're owned by Konami why doesn't Konami publish all of their games?

 

[Namomura]

First trailer of the game ?
