Majesco building Our House

Budcat Creations developing construction sim that lets players design, build dream homes for the Nintendo Wii this holiday.

Having conquered the food service industry with Cooking Mama, Majesco is now setting its sights on do-it-yourself home improvement. Today, the publisher announced it would be bringing construction sim Our House exclusively to the Nintendo Wii this holiday season.

Catering to aspiring architects and interior designers, Our House lets players build and decorate their dream homes using the Wii's motion-sensing technology. After laying blueprints and purchasing raw materials, players don their tool belts to custom build their unique homes, one nail, paint swash, and tile at a time. In a bid to keep up with the Joneses, Our House accommodates four-player build-offs for multiplayer gaming, and players will also be able to show off their creations to friends online.

Developer Budcat Creations will be building out Our House for Majesco. Most recently, Budcat has been responsible for the PlayStation 2 version of Activision's Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock rhythm game, as well as Majesco's The New York Times Crosswords puzzler for the Nintendo DS.

    Providing it can be built in the middle of Our Street, I'd play it.

    And the point? Not being negative or anything. But I would appreciate that if these games coordinate with real life. Eg Cooking Mama would worth a lot of value if many of the recipes are like almost exact replicas for real life and you could update them extra with new ones. So not only I will be able to enjoy the game, in return the game will help while I am cooking even though the end result of my cooking is burnt food.

    A sequal for Advent Rising probably will never happen. The creator of the game left Majesco and started his own company. He can't finnish it himself, because Majesco owns the rights to Advent Rising.

    Sounds good. I do like these types of games. The only thing better then building is wrecking it.

    Reminds of the song "Our House"

    Sounds like a strange but possible experiment. Like the Cooking Mama before it, I'll perhaps give it a shot.

    I hope Majesco keeps making great profits with those type of games because I really liked Advent Rising. They should release newer version of Advent Rising for other consoles, so they can probably be able to make the sequel and possibly finish the trilogy.

    lol i hope they get in before the inevitable Animal Crossing for the wii and maybe show Nintendo a thing or 2 about how to do online not to say they suck at it but still their experience with it kinda remains lacking

    Do they have an Easy mode where you just duct-tape everything?

    As long as you can make I can make a replica of my own house... i'll be happy.

    I sure hope they allow cardboard boxes in the list of building materials.
