Yeah, I completely agree.

That was one of the Atari 2600's best gameplay mechanics with one of the Wii's best control schemes (IR plus analog), combined to make a really old idea feel fresh and new, and anybody can hop in and play.  Somebody really does need to flesh that experience out with some co-op and objectives and bigger levels.  It could be everything that Alien Syndrome was supposed to be.

Are you listening Shams? ;)

Tanks alone was worth every penny of the extra $10 you spend to get Wii Play.  I would definitely buy a fleshed out version of Tanks.

you know a bit sized & simple RPG....not turn based, action based, 2D....very simple with a flowerworkd type of art style = cell shaded

Make it include jumping & platforming elements if you guys can but should have a quirky story

but keep it 2D to make sure its bitesized.

I think at this point you need to decide whether to remake Tanks or remake Zelda 2. We all want tanks or 2-D action-RGP-platformers. Either way, just make sure the game has more spells/weapons than Zelda 2.

i'd go with the fleshed out tanks game too. that was the only game that i really liked in wii play, and it did make it worth the 10 bucks.

I would love to see a new lost in blue game for wiiware

I'd love to see an interesting take on Tower Defense, since it's such a simply addicting genre. There doesn't seem to be too many TD games on WiiWare (am I missing anything besides those FFish ones?).

Could be a TD where you have to build your own mazes (like Desktop TD) or it could be an ol' fashioned TD (like Vector TD). Either way, I'd be a happy camper.

yeah as rubang said, basically a 2D Zelda would be fab, but Cell Shaded!

Tanks is a good/great idea - I did really enjoy the title, and it would make for a great, enhanced, cheap WiiWare title.

I also played/finished Mass Effect recently, and it reminds me a bit of the action sequences of the tank/lander on the planet surface(s).

It also works out nicely for the 2-4 player option - and would work both as a co-op & fragfest.

The 'slow' nature of the particles/movement would make it work nicely - a bit like bomberman, but with more complex levels and tanks :)

...

I'll suggest this to the team now, and we'll see if it fits what we want to do for our next title.

If it happens - famousringo, U get the game credit :)

PS - StarControl II is one of my favourite games ever. Ever. EVER.

Sweet! My name immortalized in a list of other names!
