Sega directing ChuChu Rocket! to WiiWare?

by Chris Greenhough { Dec 31st 2008 at 1:30PM }

Does Sega share our view that ChuChu Rocket! was Born for Wii? The company's U.S. arm re-registered a trademark for ChuChu Rocket! on December 22, and Siliconera's Spencer predicted that this could mean a future release for ... Xbox Live Arcade.

In this case, we hope Spencer is totally wrong, and that this actually signals a forthcoming WiiWare adaptation. Sega recently made its WiiWare debut with Let's Catch, so has already shown an interest in the service. Obviously, this news could also mean nothing, but we don't like to dwell on that possibility -- the dark satisfaction to be had from guiding your opponent's ChuChus towards a hungry KapuKapu is something we want to experience again.

They should put it on both. It makes no sense to put it on the 360 because the audience will shout "GAAAAAY!" and move on immediately. However, the online infrastructure is there for the game
But at the same time, it makes no sense to put it on the Wii because the online infrastructure blows (especially on WiiWare games), but the audience would be much more receptive to it.

Seriously want. I never got the opportunity to play the Dreamcast original, but I borrowed the GBA version years ago off a friend and reluctantly had to give it back. If they were to include all the Dreamarena fansubbed levels that appeared on that GBA version, plus give us the ability to upload our own puzzles so anyone can download and play them, you've got yourself a surefire winner surely.
