WiiWareTM Party Game Coming to Nintendo Console in the Near Future

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – January 25, 2010 – Stickmen Studios, a growing studio focused on casual games for the leading consoles and PC, today announced its next original title, Kung Fu Funk for WiiWare™. Kung Fu Funk takes players back to when martial arts had style, and colors were either vibrant or beige. Players enter the world of big hair and flared pants in this comedy Kung Fu movie styled game.

“Kung Fu Funk is great for parties, anyone who enjoys comedy action, and of course comedy Kung Fu movies,” said Wil McLellan, CEO of Stickmen Studios. “The Wii Remote is the perfect interface for players to experience the fun of being a Kung Fu fighter with the funk.”


This information comes from Geoff Keighley’s Twitter…

“This week on GTTV — global announcement of next title from Platinum Games inside the show!…And yes, you’ll get an exclusive trailer for the Platinum Games title.”

Unfortunately, with these types of teasers, it is never clear if it’ll be Nintendo related. Anything that Platinum Games creates is worth checking out, though!
