Bruiser and Scratch finally hits WiiWare in December
We first heard about Bruiser & Scratch, the WiiWare puzzle game designed by the ex-Naughty Dog staff at Steel Penny Games a long time ago, before there was a WiiWare. The company sent out a press release today announcing that they plan to release the game in December.Bruiser & Scratch is a matching puzzle game in which players shove items around on a chessboard in order to match pairs of identical items, which then form a single piece. And that's about all we know. The developers talk about the game a bit in their interview with WiiWare World, but even now we barely know anything about even the basics of the game. Which is kind of exciting.
Former Naughty Dogs go to work on 'Bruising' WiiWare puzzler
Ex-Naughty Dog developers John Hughes and Andrew Gilmour have announced the first title from their new studio, Steel Penny Games. Bruiser and Scratch in the Case of the Puzzling Paw is said to "blend a challenging puzzle game with dramatic fantasy environments and appealing characters for an exceptionally satisfying experience." That's a similar description we'd give to critical darlings Zack & Wiki and Sam & Max. Here's hoping Bruiser enjoys the latter's commercial success (and not, unfortunately, the former's dearth in sales). In addition to WiiWare, Steel Penny Games is also reportedly certified for Xbox Live Arcade titles. Bruiser and Scratch is reportedly scheduled for a mid-2008 release. Nintendo's WiiWare service is rumored to have a March launch. [Via VideoGamer]
