SAN MATEO, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire/ — Capcom(R) Entertainment, a
leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced
Spyborgs(TM), a new action game coming exclusively to the Wii(TM) home
video game system from Nintendo. In Spyborgs, players take on the role of a
diverse team of five bionic superspies in a fight to save the world from a
group of dastardly villains. Wii gamers will be set to save the world when
the game launches in 2009.
The first title developed by Bionic Games(TM), a newly-formed
development team comprised of former Insomniac Games and High Impact
developers known for their work on hugely popular franchises Ratchet and
Clank(TM) and Resistance: Fall of Man(TM), Spyborgs is a unique
action-adventure game set in a stylish world that resembles a Saturday
morning cartoon. Engaging players in team-based challenges designed to
utilize 2-player co-op play, Spyborgs takes the theme of “team” to a whole
new level of fun. In Single-player mode the “team” theme continues as
players jump from one member of the superspies’ team to the next, rapidly
tackling different challenges designed around each character’s unique
abilities. Fast, addictive gameplay, unique controls offered by the Wii
Remote(TM), and a storyline that refuses to take itself too seriously,
Spyborgs will provide players with a dynamic and fresh gaming experience
like no other
“Our goal is to maximize the potential of the innovative Wii Remote
while delivering a new paradigm in cooperative game play,” said Michael
Haller, president, Bionic Games. “We also wanted to bring a lot of humor to
the game which we feel we have accomplished. This game will make you laugh
– for all the right reasons.”
Players jump between the identities of a team of five bionic superspies
to combat a rogue squad of wacky, dysfunctional super villains. Each
character has unique powers to match their super-spy skills, such as heavy
firepower, martial arts, bladed weaponry, acrobatic skateboarding skills or
pure robotic destruction. This cast of characters may make a misfit group
individually, but by utilizing them as a team, the Spyborgs will have the
power to save the world — if they don’t blow themselves up first!
Spyborgs’ tongue-in-cheek action and compelling interactive cartoon theme
keeps players engaged from the first episode to the last with one of the
most fun and entertaining games to be developed for the Wii system.
