KORE (Wii) Is Alive

Back in May, the news came out that an abandoned original Xbox title, The Kore Gang, was getting a new lease on life on a new console: Wii. An announcement doesn't make it true, but now we've seen a little piece of it with our own eyes. The newly monikered KORE (a name change WiiHD approves of), showed off its first footage on Friday.

Revamped and redesigned, KORE is a platformer that has three heroes protecting the center of the earth from the baddies with a little cybernetic assistance. Now we know, platformers aren't the cool genre anymore, but they're still chock full of potential fun. Even so, platformers aren't the easiest game for a developer to really nail. Nintendo has always been good at it, but by and large, it's a rough genre to really innovate in and provide fun that feels fresh.

That said, we wish the game the best of luck. Take a gander at the new footage after the break.

Not too shabby

Its hard to match what Galaxy achieved in this genre as far as visuals and gameplay are concerned…but this looks pretty darn cool. Kind of has a "The Nightmare Before Christmas" feel to the visuals. I like it.

I gotz my login back, but had to give up my cookies.

I have fairly high expectations of my platformers, so I'm not anticipating loving this, but you never know.

And Your sacrifice will not forgotten. =)

Hopefully that's the last we'll have to deal with that little bug. They were trying to fix an Internet Explorer specific problem (and "undocumented feature"), but while they were fixing it, they opened up a huge can of worms that affected all browsers in various ways. Fortunately 99.7% of my readers don't have an account, and this only affected people logging in, so it didn't hurt too bad.
