Shootanto: Monkeys do the evolution on Japanese WiiWare
Next week, the Japanese Wii Shop will get an infusion of bizarre light-gunnery, courtesy of Hajime no Ippo The Fighting DS developer Grand Prix Games. Shootanto puts one or two players in the roles of monkeys, equipped with some kind of energy projectiles. As you shoot giant prehistoric insects, snakes, bipedal dinosaurs, and other baffling, low-poly obstacles, your monkey will begin to evolve -- first into a sort of Australopithecine ape-thing, then a caveman, toward what looks like a modern soldier.
Normally, we'd complain about the crummy, low-budget graphics, but this is a game that will release at a six-dollar price point. For that much, we can relax our standards and have a laugh. We doubt this game will see release outside of Japan, which is kind of too bad. Check the link for a small gameplay video!
