Tamagotchis party on Wii

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Jan 16, 2007 3:11 pm PT

Namco Bandai prepping Wii game based on its popular digital pets; four-player party game to hatch in retail this spring.

Kissing babies helps, too.

As the Wii continues to sell out around the world, game publishers are getting over any trepidation they may have had in publishing games for the new system. The latest to announce a new title for the console is Namco Bandai, who today revealed that a game based on its Tamagotchi license is in the works.

Tamagotchi Party On! is currently on schedule for release in North America this spring. The party game features multiplayer support for up to four gamers, and takes full advantage of the Wii's motion-sensitive controller.

Players will engage in 15 different minigames, each of them requiring participants to "swing, shake, point, turn, and twist" their Wii Remotes. As gamers progress, they can spend earned Gotchi points to upgrade their characters and customize their very own campaign headquarters as they try to become president of Tamagotchi planet.

Tamagotchi Party On! has not yet been rated or priced.

    If the Nintendo Wii was designed to expand the base of gaming to include casual gamers, then we have to expect to see a preponderance of casual games.

    My guess is that the hardcore games are still in development. Not only will they take longer to create, but they were probably sat upon by companies who decided to wait and see how the Wii was received before committing resources to it.

    the problem is, none of the companies other than nintendo seem to be taking the wii seriously enough to actually spend time on a game. they're just rushing crap out over and over. i can't wait for resident evil...

    It would make good use of the Wiimote, but it looks stupid. No way in hell am I spending $50 to play with an alien, that used to be a mini pocket game, that I could get for $10.
