We just got word from the guys at Engine Software regarding their upcoming WiiWare puzzler known simply as Bang! The game is now in the final stages of being checked by Nintendo so it should not be too long before we can all get to check it out for ourselves.
We have been informed that there were some delays due to improve the 2-player mode and add other refinements to make for a better game experience. The price point is expected to be only 600 Wii points so it is not going to break the bank.
See below the fold to see 12 new screenshots of Bang! in our gallery.

@Big=Sexy: My thoughts exactly! I was right in predicting it would be 600. Anything higher than that wouldn't be reasonable.
And for the once again, having so many puzzles on the WiiWare service isn't a bad thing, especially if they're quality, ace titles. And besides, when a game from a different genre DOES come along, it'll stand out even more!

Seriously, another puzzler?! It's like someone is conducting some kind of experiment, testing how saturated the puzzle market can become before it implodes on itself and goes the way of the brawler. I'm seriously starting resent the entire concept of a puzzle game.

Not another block-puzzler
Nothing against the game, maybe it's outstanding, but there are so much Puzzlers for Wii and DS already that I'm tired of new ones...
Tetris and Puzzle Bobble are the only ones I can't get enough of

It's just a less complicated version of Plättchen.

@Apocalypse: that's what I thought! The 600 point price means I'll definitely look into this one - especially at just 2/5 of Plattchens price.

I think I'll pass on this one.

Well PuzzleWare...err I mean WiiWare is getting quite a few puzzlers lately. This one does look interesting though. Worth keeping an eye on.

Groovin' Blocks and maybe Tetris are the only puzzlers I need. I believe we need more action and shmup games on WiiWare or maybe a good Strategy RPG ala Fire Emblem would be nice.

Will you people GIVE IT UP... all Puzzle games can't be that bad! >
And I think this WiiWare game, "Bang", could show some promise and potential!
It's one I'm looking forward to seeing... and yes I was wondering when we'd get more info come from it sometime soon; glad it's as of now today!

If this is like Bejeweled with some kind of twist, I have to admit, I'd probably get it. Puzzlequest is a great example of how to make the genre new again IMHO.

I agree that wiiware is getting many puzzlers, but thats only bad If you don't like them, besides companies stoping making them won't necessarily add more of other kind of games to the service. If it's a good puzzle game, I'll gladly consider this one.

I think we've gotten enough puzzles. we need something new that is not a puzzle

Well then GO SUCK AN EGG... or either enjoy you other mediocre puzzle wiiware games!!!! >
I'll say it again... I'd be interested in how this game turns out!

The puzzlers had their chance at fortune. Seen the top twenty lately? Tetris, Dr.Mario and Cubello. World of Goo if you count it. All the other puzzle games got the boot. For as long as I can remember about wiiware there has been a puzzler every week in US. You have to come out with something very unique to topple the kings. I already have 3 puzzlers, I'm done.
Platformers or arcade games plz
