Eat the Wii Remote! Eat it! Wiiwaa unveiled…

Have you ever wanted to thrust your Wii Remote inside a cuddly toy?

If you have, you might be just a little bit loopy. But that’s okay, because while you’re away “resting”, you’ll be able to play a bizarre new videogame that fulfils your barmy requirements.

Wiiwaa (working title), an upcoming title from Danish developer Zoink Games, is controlled by inserting the Wii Remote into a plush toy that comes packaged with the game.  By simply moving the toy around, its in-game counterpart replicates your motions, as it explores an endearing universe and solves an abundance of mini-games.

“Use your Wiiwaa puppet to control this little fellow just like a puppeteer would do,” says Klaus Lyngeled, Creative Director at Zoink Entertainment and originator of the concept. “Walk, jump, dance, do crazy somersaults - whatever you do with your Wiiwaa puppet directly affects the Wiiwaa in the game.

“This innovative control system makes it super intuitive to tell the creature where to go and what to do. I don’t think there has ever been a simpler and more natural way to play a videogame. Just pop in your controller and your Wiiwaa comes to life on the screen.”

The game is all about rhythm, and each different gameplay mechanic requires you to learn unique movements.  There are over a dozen mini-games to complete, and Wiiwaa even demands you keep your cuddly character clean and well cared for as you progress through the story.

It’s “a game that transcends gender and age,” says Lyngeled. “With this game, parents provide non-violent, intelligent entertainment for their kids that even motivates them to exercise their physique and train their coordination skills.

“But it is not strictly a game for kids. Like in a Pixar movie, there is something in there for everyone. Grown-up gamers too will enjoy the action, the humor and the freshness of the experience.”

Wiiwaa is still searching for a suitably insane publisher to work with on the project.  For now, there’s already a frankly terrifying promotional video.  Have a look below.
