OK, so maybe it's not that hard, the "dude riding a skateboard and collecting eggs" genre isn't exactly thriving. Undeterred, Hudson's Takahashi Meijin says that the company is going back to the well for another Adventure Island game, currently in the early stages of development.

Meijin said that the game will probably appear on WiiWare, but noted concern about trying to shoehorn motion control into the game, making him (we believe) the very first Wii developer to ever, ever worry about that. Congratulations, Takahashi!

Sarcastatruth!

He didn't collect eggs, he fucking punted them and feasted on their innards.

I'm going to go ahead and get my hopes up for this, because disappointment is a hurt that makes me feel alive. Buying Wii games is my version of cutting.

I hope it has dinosaurs

I could see them simply porting the GC/PS2 remake, shouldn't be a terrible stretch of the Wii memory. As long as it bears no resemblance to the SNES game I'm open to anything. *-neo
