We've heard intermittently that
Night Game (working title), the Independent Games Festival award-
nominated action-puzzler from
Knytt Stories' Nifflas, would appear on WiiWare -- an
IGN interview with composer Chris Schlarb called it a WiiWare
and PC game. Nintendo's
huge press release this morning has made it official: not only is
Night Game coming to
WiiWare, it's a WiiWare exclusive.
Night Game involves maneuvering a ball through (the silhouettes of) various environmental puzzles.
Nifflas is directing
Night Game -- which has "no enemies and no violence" -- for developer
Nicalis, which you
may know from another high-profile WiiWare project:
Cave Story. Neither company has dated
Night Game. For that matter, Nintendo didn't mention
Cave Story in its press release outside of the blurb about
Night Game. Hopefully that's still on track!

This screenshot reminds me of World of Goo. Anything that reminds me of World of Goo can only be a good thing.

I'll try anything by Nifflas. I love Knytt and Knytt Stories.

This looks good, but I'm really waiting for Cave Story.

Dawn of Discovery, Exitebots, and now this. Seems my wallet will have a hole deeper than I imagined.
Oh, well, keep the good work, developers. Looking foward to hear more bout Night.

Whoa, this is for WiiWare? I remember when Surfer girl was still around she showed a small clip from this game and it looked friggin' awesome. Super atmospheric and stuff.
I reckon I'll be all over this like a hillbilly on his sister.
