SEGA has confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog creator, Yuji Naka's, Let's Tap game for the Wii will be released in North America and Europe in the summer of this very year.
The game features a new trick for the motion-sensing Wii remote. Instead of flailing it around the place, players will place it "on a box or flat surface so that the controller can detect minute vibrations". The image accompanying this piece suggests that the game box in which the game will ship can double as a peripheral. Genius!
And that's not us simply being a little off-hand. Even Gary Knight," European Marketing Director SEGA Europe" (yes, European director of SEGA Europe) agrees, "It’s such a simple yet genius concept..." So, there you go - Genius: official.
Naka's Prope studio is developing Let's Tap which features five game modes and "an assortment of different finger-tapping challenges". These are:
- Tap Runner: make simple stick figure racers run through an obstacle course.
- Visualizer: create dazzling fireworks effects, dramatic paint strokes, amongst other effect as they tap out different rhythm patterns that correspond to different effects.
- Silent Blocks: remove blocks from a large stack - yup, Jenga.
- Bubble Voyager: fly through space, blasting obstacles and enemies.
- Rhythm Tap: players tap of their fingers to high energy music.
