Last Flight resurfaces as an episodic game

Bloober Team sent out some screenshots today! The last time we saw the game was over a year ago and just as concept art, so we're thrilled to see actual screens of food critic Larry Adelman taking out some vampires. In a fact sheet, Bloober Team outlined the game's motion-based slashing: each hand is mapped to either the Wiimote or Nunchuk, and moving the controller swings the weapon.
The game is being divided into four episodes, to make it "as accessible and affordable as possible." According to Bloober Team, the game is comparable to a boxed Wii release, but the bite-sized purchases remove a barrier to entry for people not sure about buying a game from a new team.
Perhaps the most surprising news: Eurogamer says that the game will be out this year!

Like Sadness, I have little faith that this game actually exists. But I'd love to be proven wrong as the screenshots have always looked bloody delicious.

UNLIKE Sadness, I'm sure that this one does exist. Wiiware titles often come out from nowhere late at night and can be surprisingly good.
This game is meant to be the Wiiware's MadWorld, including bright colors. Even the controls sounds cool. I think it will be my first downloadable episodic game.
I heard there will be 4 episodes which means a total cost of 4000 points max. That's more affordable than a regular retail game. If the content is really the same, it's definitely a good deal.

I have no idea whether this game will be good. Just being bloody isn't everything. The controls sound like they could be either awesome or a total nightmare, depending on how they're implemented.
But really, all I want to know is what's up with Sadness... That game sounded amazing based on their descriptions of it and had some bitchin' concept art, but I'm anxious to find out whether it can actually be as good in practice. I don't care how long it takes them to complete it - if that means it'll be a better game - but I just want some evidence that it even EXISTS.

Cool !! I would totally buy that ! I hope it has WM+ support.

Wiiware titles aren't allowed WM+ yet.

Which is a fine shame indeed.

It's just the SDK's they're missing. I mean, a lot of devs haven't used WM+ yet, but a lot are getting the SDK's for them.
