Spanish developers, Akaoni Studio sent over some screenshots and information today about their upcoming WiiWare zombie shooter, Zombie Panic in Wonderland. Of course we just had to share it with you.
The game is a first-player shooter game with a very simple system. The player controls the character´s movements with the nunchuk at the same time as he aims and shoots at the enemies with the Wii Remote. The player´s movements are limited to two directions (left and right). The scenes are completely 3D and are completely destructible and can be incinerated. The map of the scene changes during the game as the player destroys the objects he has within sight (from boxes of sweets to entire buildings).
Two people will be able to play at the same time and they will be able to choose between three different characters.
The levels will be divided into two parts, and at the end of each one the player will have to knock down a final boss. The final bosses, the main characters and a group of secondary characters, are closely related, which will be discovered as the player advances in the game.
We were told that the game itself would be quite short, but intense. There will be lots of action and fun to keep gamers coming back for more.
Zombie Panic in Wonderland is still very much in development and is expected to launch on WiiWare sometime in December 2009. Watch this space for more news.

Hmmm, may download this baby if it comes together nicely. The zombies are cartoony, which may put some off...but not me (on the contrary in fact as zombie shooters are getting extremely generic on the Wii, at least this is different)
What if this turns into animales de la muerte and never comes out
Gameplay sounds a bit like Little Red RIding Hood Zombie BBQ for the DS, which is awesome fun (and was only $9.99 brand new @ GameStop). May have to pick this up.
BTW, my first post here @ NintendoLife! 'Allo, 'allo!
Destructible Environments, Zombies, 3D gameplay, Shooting and Cartoony Graphics?
This could be good for a couple of hours gameplay.
I just have one comment: Where the heck is Red Riding Hood?!?!
(Insert comment here about who's backside you'd rather watch for the duration of the game. )
This is like an appetizer for Animales de la Muerte.
Looks nice, but I'm sceptical of the whole "it's short". Just how short is this game? I'll get it as long as it's not a couple of levels and then done.
Win.
Hey, welcome to Nintendo Life, the shpydar Quite the unusual name you've got there!
zombies make the world a better place so i'll buy this on release
Yellow fire effects all over this game.
don't you mean 3rd person shooter?
Looks nice and cute.
This is definitely a third-person perspective game, not first-person as the article mentions.
@Ian Daemon - I think that 'first-person' is lost in translation a bit. We just quoted that straight from the developer
I want Zapper compatibility^_^
This game sounds interesting, but why December? They could release it sooner^.^
As mentioned, this looks and sounds a lot like Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ for the DS. I wonder if it's the same developer.
@Prosody #9: Thanks! The name is an old high school nickname borne from a track on They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, and has just kinda stuck the last 17 years. Wow, i feel old. =)
@Clint #18: i thought the exact same thing, but LLRHZBBQ was developed by EnjoyUp and published by Gammick. Possible that some of the same individuals might be involved. Don't know anything about Akaoni; their website link is just a front page with an 8-bit style character sprite and an email address link.
EDIT: typos, glorious typos!
Wow, this looks pretty neat. =D
@shpydar: Spider! He is our hero! UNHHHHHH!!!
I PROMISE NOT TO KILL YOU...
Anyway... The Zombie BBQ game on DS had caught my eye a while back when I saw it in a magazine, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
Wow this is cool. We hope we get animales soon too.
@Muljo: YES! You are one of the rare ones who knows it. Kudos!
You lost me at short. Think I'll pick up Red Riding Hood Zombie BBQ!
It looks cute Will keep an eye on this one
It actually sounds like fun, but it better have enough levels, and some achievements would be nice.
@the shpydar
Welcome to NinendoLife!
Hopefully this game won't be too short. If it has enough levels then I'll definitely download it. Then I can use my Perfect Shot Nyko Gun to kill the zombies. I love games where I can shoot things. Especially zombies. Who doesn't enjoy killing zombies???
I'll buy it if it has some form of wireless.
Is it me or do all the good looking WiiWare games never seem to come out and we get shovelware all the time instead? This week is an exception with FF IV: YA and all, but a majority of the time, it's junk.
First-player shooter? Don't you mean fisrt-person shooter?
Good=Shooter on wiiware
Bad=lots of points
Lol i think i might get this, any local multiplayer 3D shooter is my type of thing
@NintendoGamer - Kill zombies? I thought they were already dead?
i look forward to this. it looks like it's going to have alot meat on it.color me excited.
Well, it's no Wild Guns, but I guess it will do. I can't wait to try it out. Maybe if it sells well, Wild Guns will be remade for WiiWare. One can dream, right?
this looks great ill b lookin forward 4 this
Awww this looks so fun!! Zombies + Cute = Instabuy!!
