Hmmm, worms,wii,sounds good. but i wanna c some screens first.

well, just lets see

2D Worms>3D Worms

the controls are going to be faulty i can just tell.

Ground control o major tom: New worms

The 2D 360 worms is the best Worms released since Worms: Armageddon. -I hope this one is 2D also.

I'd like to see Worms move away from the turn-based approach and go for something more like Conkers.

l guess that 3d worms games WERE NOT AT ALL FUN! but this one shows some light and it just might be funlike the 2d ones.

the holy hand grenade better come back. thats one of the things i remeber when i first played this game as a kid

great news!

I agree the 2D worms made for a much better style of gameplay. Worms 3D was nothing more than a who can shoot who off the island the quickest. Sure 2D worms has plenty of that, but at least a good player could hide if they wanted.

i have worms and i love it!

release date says 2007 2Q, should be 2008 no?

I thought the 3D ones were funnier and still carried the deceptively complex mechanics, but the 2D ones are faster and more accessible. But regardless, I'll be satisfied... because aiming and punching with the wiimote will be SWEET either way.

we need a 2d worms

If I rebember correctly, Team17 said they had no intentions of doing another 3D Worms. I hope they were honest, as I want this one to be in 2D.

Worms 3d was ok, but something was just ... not right about it that really made it feel very different than normal worms games... so i don't mind if it's 3d, just as long as they spruce it up a lot more, and keep it interesting.

Please, please be a 2D worms game...

My purchase will hinge on whether the Holy Hand Grenade makes a reappearance or not.

The Release Date on the right hand side information panel reads Q2 2007 for some reason..

Krazy. I wonder if you can use the wiimote to use the baseball bat

Team17 provides HORRIBLE support. They released a game called worms forts which advertised online play...which DIDNT WORK, for ANYONE. Not even on lan. They PROMISED they would patch it, 12 months later, it hadnt even happened. As far as I know they just said SCREW it, and screw the customer.

Niiiiice

dweet, more worms

yay for worms! i loved armageddon... i wish they would bring that to DS

i want this game gonig to reserve it as soon as i can

The system could use more online games. Seriously, I remember them claiming their online would be great. They be building something great or all this waiting is annoying.

This might actually get me to purchase a Wii.

Worms is pure party fun, the perfect fit for a wii!

I too an hoping for it to be 2D and i wonder if gravity of these planets will differ and affect how the worms move.

If this was a cheap download on the wii shopping channel I would probably get it. But I won't want it as a full price retail game because I already have worms for PC, PS1, and XBOX 360. And the 2D versions are the only good versions btw.

nickeythenewt21:

I agree - 2001: A Space Odyssey was garbage. You probably liked Magnolia as well, right?

Actually, I like movies that depend more on the acting and plot more then the special effects and laughs. Besides, you should watch more then 30 minutes. Try doing that next time.

Third party game suck on the Wii, minus one or two that were already big on the Gamecube anyway (ie: Resident Evil). It's a rule, not something you should "take into consideration". Worms will sell, but it'll also be a crappy, half assed game. End of story.

nickythenewt21 you actually think that, that is one of the greatest movies of all time? for 30 minutes it's just the same thing and the screen changes colors. in order to think that movie is really that "great" you have to be high or extremely drunk.

Hope this game turns out as good as the original Worms, it was the best in the series.

"nickythenewt21 Ugh, they use a pun of one of the greatest movies of all time (2001: A Space Odyssey, for those who don't have a good taste in movies)."

Actually...its a David Bowie song

sweetness

Ugh, they use a pun of one of the greatest movies of all time (2001: A Space Odyssey, for those who don't have a good taste in movies). Count me out, please. I'd much rather get some other platformer for the Wii (Super Mario Galaxy, cough!).

Worms rules, but I'll have to pass on this one... I hate the Wii, 'tis poor in my eyes... and yes I have played one for those of you planning on flaming me.
plus am I the only one who prefures 3d worms to 2d worms? although yeah the origional rocked!!! one of the best Ps1 games ever!

awesome cant wait

looks like a good show

Cool212 they have classic 2d with online on the XBLA

Spore, Mass Effect, Mario Galaxy, even Harvest Moon went space age. I guess that space is just the thing to announce this year.

^o^

The Motion Sensor controls are perfect for a game like Worms.

How so? I don't remember much motion being used in Worms. It's usually based on trajectory, which is going to be tougher, if anything, to control with the Wiimotes.

Can't we have classic Worms back?Classic 2D game just add online play.

Actually, this sounds like a perfect match. Worms and Wii. The Motion Sensor controls are perfect for a game like Worms. Sweet I can't wait.

It had better be a good Worms game.
