escapeVektor escapes from Wii, on Wii
escapeVektor: Chapter 1 isn't just a game stored on your Wii's internal memory, its official storyline takes place inside your Wii's internal memory. According to the announcement, "Vektor" is trapped inside the Wii by the system's CPU, who constantly sends enemies after him. The player guides Vektor through a series of connected lines in Qix-style gameplay, attempting to get away while avoiding the enemies. As Vektor makes his way out of the system, he regains memories -- but, presumably, not all of them. This game from Pop developer Nnooo is the first in a series of escapeVektor games. It's due on WiiWare in the second half of this year -- if it can break out of Nnooo's development kits. A 3DS version is also in the works.
