Bust-A-Move Bash!

[i0n]

[xFLOAT=left]http://www.wiichat.com/news-images/bustadash.jpg[/xFLOAT]505 Games have today announced the May 11th release of Bust-A-Move on Nintendo Wii.

Here's the information from the press release (Scroll to the bottom for the screenshots):

Bust-A-Move offers simple puzzle gameplay that’s easy to pick up and play but that also has enough strategy and depth to reward master players. Players must use the cannon at the bottom of the playing screen to fire coloured bubbles into similarly coloured bubbles at the top of the field. These bubbles advance down towards the player at regular intervals and if they reach the bottom it’s ‘game over’! Merging three or more of the same colour bubble makes them disappear and clever strategies can be put to use to create chain reactions, which clear multiple bubbles at once.

Bust-A-Move is crammed with the puzzle series’ staple ingredients to please die-hard BAM pros while at the same time offering a whole raft of new additions to thrill BAM newbies. Classic features include the return of a wacky cast of characters headed up by brothers Bub and Bob and original gameplay modes including Puzzle, Endless and Versus modes. Exciting new features include the option to play in eight-player versus matches – a first for the Bust-A-Move series! Other new features include ‘Shooting’ mode, where bubbles come at you from all sides of the playing field, and the generous ‘Slip’ option, which automatically corrects your aim if you’re slightly off. The full rundown of game modes is as follows:

· Puzzle mode: play through 500 different stages, each with its own distinct features, obstacles and tricks to thwart you!
· Endless mode: a head-bursting endless torrent of bubbles to test your skill and endurance
· Versus mode: up to eight players can face off against each other simultaneously for the very first time
· Shooting mode: all-new for Wii, bubbles come at the player from all angles and the player uses the Wii remote and nunchuk together to fight the onslaught
· Hyper mode: gameplay is speeded up for the most intense BAM challenge ever

I like the anime style characters, but other than that, it doesn't look like it's worth the 40 dollar price tag. I'll wait until it drops to 20.

Puzzle games are so addicting, I'm pumped for this game. I had to grab SPM over this, but I plan on getting this soon.
