Defend Your Castle trailer storms the Internet

by JC Fletcher { Mar 21st 2008 at 10:30AM }

We weren't exactly hard to convince, since we already loved the "sweded" look of the Wii Ware version of Defend Your Castle, but we think that had we been in the "do not want" camp, seeing the game in motion would have melted our hardened hearts. Every interface is made to appear as if it was crafted from household items.

The temple, where you convert enemies into followers, is a paint can. The battering rams are popsicle sticks. The cursor is a bread clip. It's as if you made a found-art collage depicting a Wii game! And then, uh ... made it move and stuff.

This would be fun for about 10 minutes.

I wasted way too much time with the original. And I plan to do the same with this!

No splashy pool of blood? Awwww...

Wow indeed. They really did good work making a flash game into something you'd be willing to pay money for. The art style is just amazing, and co-op will open up a lot of possibilities

A trailer was just what i needed to convince me

Indeed. It sounded kind of interesting in an odd way, but after watching the trailer, I can totally see myself playing it, especially co-op. Of course, it depends on pricing.

I used to play the flash game all the time...I want to see what the pricing for it will be before I'm sold on this game or not though.

I played the flash game for about a minute and didn't take to it. But the way they dressed it up so cleverly, I might have to get this just to power on when I have friends over.

I believe it's been said that the game will be 500 Wii Points, but that might not have been final.
