Everyone knows about the rumors – There has been plenty of speculation about Kid Icarus making a return to the Wii for a very, very long time. Strangely though, there hasn’t been any gossip about a possible comeback for a number of months. In the August edition of Nintendo Power, Shigeru Miyamoto commented on putting a new title in the franchise on either the Wii or DS.

“Wait, please. I’m really surprised how popular that is. But you are the first person to ask at this E3!”

Receiving Critical Acclaim and Awards at E3 2009, RoogooTM Features Interactive Puzzles and Invigorating Gameplay

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – July 2, 2009 – SouthPeak Games today announced the release of two new additions to the growing family of their addicting, fast-paced Roogoo™ series: Roogoo™ Twisted Towers for Wii™ and Roogoo™ Attack! for Nintendo DS™. The latest games provide fun for the entire family as only quick reflexes and thinking can save Planet Roo from the vicious Prince Moo and his wicked Meemoo followers.

Roogoo™ Twisted Towers and Roogoo™ Attack! follow the delightfully endearing Roogoos through colorful (and Meemoo infested) worlds as they fight to save Planet Roo. Using the world-saving power of meteor shapes, players must rotate platforms in myriads of different formations all the while strategizing on the fly and collecting quick-falling shapes. Players will get hooked on the invigorating gameplay that requires fast thinking, determination and grit; leaving players craving more action and adventure after each level. As an added bonus, the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ versions can wirelessly connect and unlock 20 bonus levels within each title!
