Art Style: Cubello originally was a FPS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“Originally we were planning to develop a first person shooting game. After so many levels of test to investigate the fun, not only being ‘just shoot ‘em all’, we ended up including some elements of puzzle games. Using motives from megalithic cultures of Maya and Incan cultures we expressed a mysterious floating object. Eventually, it turned out to be a game that people without first person shooter experience can enjoy.” – Hiroaki Ishibashi, Director (Skip)
I’m pretty glad that Skip decided to change the game’s gameplay style from an FPS setup. It seems as though Cubello would have been monotonous had they not changed it.

Multiplayer aspect confirmed for MadWorld
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
SEGA has launched the official US site for MadWorld. In addition to some screenshots and other goodies, a few new details about the game have been confirmed, including multiplayer. The multiplayer offering has been described as “Blood Bath Challenges.” Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
“Take control and complete in a variety of ultra-violent ‘Blood Bath Challenges’ which can be played offline multiplayer with your friends or enemies.”
A bit of the plot has additionally been revealed, and it looks as though Varrigan City has been taken over by a virus.
“Driven into quarantine and chaos by the outbreak of a deadly virus, ‘survival of the fittest’ takes on a whole new meaning as trapped citizens are pitted against each other in the gruesome sports show, ‘Death Watch’.”
