USA WiiWare Update: Evasive Space

Today’s solo release for North American WiiWare is Evasive Space. A causal glance at one of the many screenshots in our gallery below might lead you to conclude that this is a shoot-em-up game. In fact the idea in this game is to avoid things instead, which is a novel idea. The game has been developed by High Voltage for newly formed Akinai Games (YUKES of America).

From what we have seen so far..

High Voltage Interview: High Voltage Hot Rod Show

We love a good racing game here at WiiWare World. As D2C’s SPOGS Racing failed to deliver the goods we pinned our hopes on another racer to come to WiiWare and save the day. Perhaps High Voltage Hot Rod Show is that game?

We got in touch with our pals at High Voltage Software, developers of the rather good Gyrostarr and the upcoming awesome looking FPS 'The Conduit' to find out more. Thankfully..

Introducing High Voltage Hot Rod Show for WiiWare

After High Voltage Software’s success with Gyrostarr on WiiWare, it is good to see them continuing to support the service with a new game simply called High Voltage Hot Rod Show. Unlike Gyrostarr this game will be a full on racing game, it looks like ExciteTruck from a overhead angle.

There is still no confirmation from the studio on Animales de la Muerte yet, rumours have been flying about that..

A few weeks ago we interviewed High Voltage Software about their upcoming WiiWare game Animals de la Muerte. Whilst it was a very informative interview, we forgot to ask one crucial question! What are the controls like on this game?

Kindly Micah Skaritka at HVS has set the record straight on the controls once and for all. It actually sounds like a pretty good system. Wiimote pointing is fun for a..

Gyrostarr seems to feature four ships competing to defeat enemies and collect enough energy to open a..
