Something I would like to ad is that when this game is going to come out, Nintendo can have sold roughly 25 million Wii:s WW. I do hope that numbers like that would mean a good sales for unique games like this.

Man, I miss the old days when you had to ask yourself constantly, between the sweet titles, why did I buy a N64 or why did I buy this GC? Now... I don't know how to act guys. All of these games? What is this? Is this the Nintendo I knew and loved?
Before I cared for Nintendo, I protected it from all of its antagonist but now... It doesn't need me any more.

Nah, It's great and I hope this game Averages 9's.

I can't believe I forgot the game's title. I probably will buy this, I like games where I create monsters and have them fight.

yeah, creating your own monster seems pretty bad ass.

I'm confused. It says Action RPG but describes turn-based battles.

Either way, anything that's non-cashin is worth keeping an eye on.

Lots of promise. Customization is always fun. Hit locations add a nice tactical element to gameplay. If you do minigames to build your monster, sounds like you can play them a lot or a little, depending on how much you like the minigames, which is a nice choice for the player.

And Tim Burton is one of my favourite filmmakers, so if he's a cited source of inspiration, that bodes well for the environment, story and atmosphere. :)

Tim Burton + Pokemon = Orgasm

The game looks good, concept sounds cool. I'm in for it. If they can do this right, they could have a serious money maker on their hands.

With this the 3rd party Wii games I'll need to buy are:

No More Heroes
Zack and Wiki
DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3
NiGHTS (please don't kill it Sega)
Monster Lab (this)
Final Fantasy CC:CB

Here are the images at full size:

It's looking pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking, but an interesting art style. The game is still almost a year away from release so we can expect these graphics to improve as well.

There is a DS version of this game in development as well.

Wow this does look pretty awesome. I will definitely be watching this one as it gets closer to completion. I have a few friends who simply adore the turn based strategy games and are starving for this type of game. The Tim Burton influence is just a nice bonus and should result in a good style for the game.

All in all this sounds like two games in one to me. Making monsters and then actually fighting with them!


@DonWii/Naznatips,

I am right there with you, been telling people for a while now that games aren't something you just pop in the microwave and "DING" they are done. It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort to actually produce something worth showing off. And thats just to get it to a point where you can say "Hey we have a game coming this is what it looks like right now, but we will see you in 6 months with a finished product!"...Hopefully folks will start to get the picture.
