Real will Ride Boingz to Enter
WiiWare World
Digital entertainment services provider RealNetworks has announced Boingz,
its first WiiWare game for the Wii. Designed specifically for the Wii
platform and its unique motion controls, Boingz will be available
exclusively on WiiWare soon. The move will mark Real's entry into the
console market. Boingz will be available for download via WiiWare. WiiWare
games can be found in the Wii Shop Channel.
"We are
thrilled at Nintendo's ability to continue bringing countless new fans to
casual games with the Wii," said Matt Turetzky, vice president of content
and non-PC platforms in the Games Division of RealNetworks. "With the
launch of Boingz, we are taking our casual games to living room consoles
for the first time and taking advantage of the unique game play
capabilities of the system to craft a casual experience targeted
specifically for Wii gamers."
Developed
by NinjaBee and published by Real, Boingz introduces players to bendy,
stretchy little critters who've found themselves scattered about an alien
world. Players must help the Boingz free the rest of their friends and
find their way back home by solving a series of addicting, mind-bending
puzzles across thirty levels of fun.
Using the
Wii Remote to grab, stretch and fling the rubber-band bodies of the Boingz,
players direct the team one by one to bounce around the environments,
traverse the seas and even build bridges with their own bodies.
Created
exclusively for WiiWare, the single-player world of Boingz is a surreal,
colorful landscape that will entertain players of all ages, says
RealNetworks.
"Working
with RealNetworks has allowed us to branch out to Nintendo's Wii and
create an innovative new IP with awesome physics and fantastic visuals,"
said Steve Taylor, president of NinjaBee. "While we are best known for our
collection of titles on other platforms, Nintendo's WiiWare will bring to
life a game that we have wanted to make for a long time and believe fans
will truly enjoy."
In
addition to WiiWare, Wii, and the Nintendo DS, RealNetworks offers titles
for the PC, Mac, and a variety of mobile handsets and portable gaming
devices.
