    New FPS Coming To WiiWare

    Hudson Entertainment has announced a new FPS destined for WiiWare on the Wii. Onslaught will be the first FPS game to be released on WiiWare. Check it out:
    Wii console owners will soon be challenged to survive massive amounts of creepy crawlers in Onslaught, the first ever first person shooter (FPS) for WiiWare, which is set to be published by Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm of HUDSON SOFT. In Onslaught, players will take on hordes of insect cyborgs to save a distant research colony. Development will be complete this spring and has been rated T for Teen by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

    “It’s clear that core gamers feel that there’s a void in games that cater to them on Wii,” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. “With Onslaught, we’re aiming to fill that void and give gamers the option of an affordable, accessible, first person shooter experience on the Wii – something that hasn’t been done before.”

    In Onslaught, players are sent on a mission to find the reason contact with a distant research colony was lost. Upon arrival, they find themselves attacked by an overwhelming horde of giant bugs. Players use the Nunchuk and Wii Remote to aim, shoot, reload and toss grenades at the creatures in order to survive. As the bugs get bigger, so do the weapons. Jump into fighting vehicles when the situation arises and send the insects crawling back to their holes. With online capabilities for four person co-op, players can also link up and play with friends to battle the bugs together, without fear of friendly fire.



    Check back soon as we hope for more information to be released in the coming days.

    Re: New FPS Coming To WiiWare

    This game looks interesting, but if it's on Wii Ware I'm doubtful of how much content they can actually fit. Remember the Wii's storage for downloadable games is only 512 MB. I also bet they will charge rather high prices in comparison to other titles on WiiWare probably 20$+. All in all it's an interesting prospect, but probably not worth my time unless it defies my stated expectations.
