It seems developer WayForward’s been in the news a lot lately. First with itswell-received WiWare titleLit, and then making waves with their upcomingA Boy and His Blobrevivalfor the Wii.
Nowit’s been revealedthat the developer is working on an exclusive title for Nintendo’s portable downloadable service, DSiWare. The title in question is calledMighty Flip Champs. Players control a female heroine named Alta as she warms through chambers by flipping through them like pages in a book. The puzzle/platformer doesn’t currently have a price or release date, but we should hear more closer to the launch of the Nintendo DSi on April 5.
Like WayForward, we’ve heard that many developers are keeping a close eye on the DSiWare service, seeing it as a way to circumvent the already crowded DS retail market. The rumor mill has also been squeaking with word of developers in talks with Nintendo about giving their older DS games second life on the service. Reportedly, Nintendo has been open to suggestions like these, which could indicate that we’ll see a strong DSiWare library in the months to come.
If you’ve already made the decision to pick up a DSi this year, does the DSiWare service appeal to you? Or do you have different reasons for upgrading your hardware?
