Flip's Twisted World: Majesco's new platformer has a twist

Flip, an apprentice of "Master Fulcrum," accidentally gets transported into a "cubed" universe, containing five worlds full of screen-rotating puzzles. Magical tools found throughout the adventure give Flip new abilities, and side quests unlock new costumes and other bonus items.
Flip's Twisted World (with the excellent abbreviated title "FTW") may have an overly childish aesthetic, but that screen-flipping mechanic is pretty enticing. Majesco is planning to release the title in January.

Clearly inspired from Mario Galaxy, but as long as the level design is good, it should be a fun game.

that looks kinda cool....i'll have to keep an eye/ear on it since it's still 6 months away

I like the idea. Definitely interested in seeing how well it's executed.

As long as the game doesn't permit you to accidentally flip the world and plummet to your doom or back to the bottom of a large mountain, this game should do quite nicely. It looks like good times.

You bring up a good point there. I hope that's not a possibility. Though if they set it to flip at certain points, it would make the game seem linear. Sure most games are linear, but platformers are supposed to be more open ended these days. Let's see how it turns out. Graphics look nice. Not sure about the music, and I ain't too fond of the main character's appearance, but it'll grown on me in a while.

Seems that everybody is having good ideas for the Wii, and translating then in interesting titles. I may be biased, but there's now some variety of Wi lauches that are hard to identify on other plataforms. Sure, no gamer will like every single one of'em, but is good to have the option
I know I am not complaining about that - my wallet is, but I am not.
Oh, wait - I'm still to find Excitebots, LKS and Punch-Out in brazilian stores. So, yep, I'm complaining.

Also, hints of Super Paper Mario... what with the flipping.

Almost the same kinda gameplay as Crush on the PSP, only a lot faster paced.

if the level design is good, then this could be a really good game.

I also see a distinct Kororinpa influence there, and since I loved 1 & 2, that's def. a good thing.

looks amazing but the movement was kinda jolty
