Tumblebugs (WiiWare)

Game Profile

In a deep dark lair, in Any Backyard USA, creep the Evil Black Bugs. You, the hero "Tumble," hold the fate of your beetle buddies in your hands. Save the colorful beetles from being enslaved by the Black Bug Empire. Set your buggy brethren free by matching beetles of the same color in groups of three or more. Save them all before they fall into the depths of the Black Bug's lair.

Tumblebugs adds fun and exciting features to the match three puzzle genre. Lob shots over rows with "Ballistic Bugs." On many levels you will have the ability to jump between multiple shooting platforms and take shots from different angles. Tumblebugs is by far the best thing to come out of the action puzzle genre this year.

ZUMA: BUGS Edition! Or maybe...Magenetica Tumblebugs! Okay, maybe it'll have something to stand out, but I doubt it. MT is good enough for me. (And the controls were fine, too, you naysayers!)

Looks kinda good.
I'll buy it if it's 900 points or less.

I recently bought Actionloop Twist, so this is almost certainly a pass unless it's something spectacular.

Great, just what we need. A clone of a game that's already out on a service that, to date, only has twenty-some games. Hopefully next, we'll get another table tennis game and a few more Arkanoid clones. I'm glad some publishers are keeping it real, releasing original and groundbreaking stuff, because some of these companies are just seeing it as another chance to cash in on the same old sh*t.

Dammit! I though this would be a new version of the EXTREMELY AWSOME game Thumblebugs on the PC. Old school futuristic versus fighting with really cool "space" ships.
Oh what I miss that game..

I hope this has enough to warrant a purchase over Magnetica. Please. I was so addicted to Zuma years ago. I hope this game may revive that charm that Zuma had but I won't hold my breath either.

Hope it's priced properly, too...

Haha I believe they're probably waiting for magnetica twist to fade from everyones memories before releasing this one. Its been 'coming soon' for what feels like over a year now (slight exaggeration... I'm not even sure wiiware has been around for a year)

We finally hear something about this game! It's just been rated by the ESRB. It's been ages.
