Continental Games: Two more WiiWare titles in the works, one will use the Vitality Sensor
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Stemming from the same article as the post below, it appears that Continental Games (developers of My Fireplace, WiiWare) have two more WiiWare projects in the works, including one that will supposedly use the Vitality Sensor. One of the titles we know nothing about, other than what we can speculate from the words of developer Juan Diego Álvarez, who says “Our next project is one that you’re going to like.” As for the other title, it is a game that is very focused in the field of emotional intelligence. Trying to translate emotions in the title is your main objective, and having to react accordingly is part of the challenge.
No word on when these two other titles may drop, but we’ll keep you updated!
Again, thanks to Fabio for the news tip!

Let me apologize beforehand for any misinterpretations, as my Spanish is a little rusty:
– Developed by Continental Games
– Intended to be a very simple simulation title
– Similar to My Aquarium
– Provides relaxation and ease of use
– Superior graphics to any WiiWare title
– Most realistic fire on Wii
– Help fund their future gaming projects
– Game has stopped due to WiiWare limitations before
– Trying to reduce price as much as possible
– Graphical engine is a basis for upcoming, more interactive projects
Thanks to Fabio for the news tip!
