As always, I’d warn you guys not to trust this completely. There’s been quite a few times where publisher announcements have gone askew. Still, if Hudson is correct, these titles will release this upcoming Monday.

New game announced for WiiWare – Liight
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Liight is a puzzle solving game where the pieces are colored lights and the goal is to make cool music! Anyone can play! Just illuminate all the targets in each puzzle with light of the matching color… but it’s not always so easy! You’ll have to mix colors, cast shadows and make the most of your limited resources to solve these brain teasers. Solve 100 challenging puzzles! Create your own puzzles, and Share them with your friends via WiiConnect24. Host a Contest to see who can solve your puzzle the fastest. If you’re ready, take on Nonstop mode, a whole new way to play where arcade-style scoring meets split-second strategy!
So there you have it! With Liight, we wanted to hit a halfway point between casual and core games, and I think it’s coming out right on the money. The core puzzle solving gameplay is tight, and everyone who played the prototype had a lot fun. Anyone really can play it, I showed it on an airplane to a lady who had never played a video game before, and even she was enjoying the easier puzzles. Thats not to say it’s not fun for real gamers though. Nonstop mode can get pretty hardcore as far as gameplay goes. I’m looking forward to playing it myself, actually. You know like, on something other than a dev-kit, where my score actually counts.
For the record, you can pronounce it anyway you want. I just say it like “light”, but I think “leet” is ok, too.
