Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians confirmed for the Wii U eShop
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians is in development for the Wii U, Threaks has confirmed. The “swimming platformer” just hit Steam a few weeks ago,.
Threaks’ Denis Rogic described the game to Nintendo Life as follows:
We have a music action-adventure. This means that we have a game that actually mimics the game mechanics with music and combines that, meaning that you have the actual action-adventure gameplay that you’d expect like puzzles, fighting and stuff like that, but at the same time, all those mechanics actually are music. By playing the game, you mix and remix the song and kind of interact with that music.
…We have rhythm elements, but they’re a really small portion of the game and they’re always interactive, so you expect a real freedom of movement, freedom of all kinds of things that you would expect from an adventure game, and then you have this additional layer of music in there. For example, there’s a game mechanic that’s a bass drum and the closer you get, the louder it gets and that means it’s a game mechanic. Just by moving through the level without any restrictions, you mix the song.
Expect Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians on the eShop sometime in the future.
