2008 Incredible
Technologies Brings BAGS To WiiWare Tailgating
phenomenon moves from parking lot to living room.
The launch of WiiWare, Nintendo's downloadable
video Games
service, is just weeks away. As it approaches,
Incredible Technologies (IT), a developer of
coin-operated video games, is putting the final
touches on Target Toss Pro: BAGS - its first
WiiWare title. BAGS is a
deceptively simple, yet extremely competitive game
where players try to toss beanbags into a hole in a
raised "box" for points. At campus quads, tailgate
parties, and summer barbeques, it's become a social
focal point. The unmistakable "thud" of bags
landing is now a universal party
soundtrack. IT has partnered
with console veteran n-Space to bring the party
indoors. Using the incredible Wii Remote, the team
captured the natural feel of the actual game while
delivering all the excitement people expect from a
professional sport - including color commentary,
dynamic presentation, and dramatic
upsets. This Wii
exclusive version is based on the hit coin-op video
game of the same name, with a new control mechanism
and new play modes for the home player. It supports
1 to 16 players and offers both BAGS arcade scoring
and traditional "cornhole" scoring
options. "We're excited to
offer BAGS on the WiiWare system," said Elaine
Hodgson, IT president and CEO. "The game is so
life-like, both parents and kids will love
it." The motion used
to toss a real beanbag is the same used when
playing the Wii version. "You'll think
you're throwing an actual beanbag when you use the
Wii Remote," says Andy Kniaz, IT's Executive
Director. "It's uncanny." Says Erick S.
Dyke, president of n-Space, Inc., "Players can now
have a tailgate experience in their living room.
We're thrilled with the final product." It's anticipated
that development for BAGS will be complete in early
summer. |
