WiiWare: Ubisoft announces Protothea

TwilightPrince | May 05, 2008 | News | PC Wii Company

Ubisoft is the latest developer to jump on the WiiWare bandwagon. They are remaking the 2005 PC shooter Protothea. The game is a top-down vertical-scrolling shooter in which you control a spaceship charged with the challenge of taking down a huge, deadly asteroid called Maqno 01 and simultaneously disrupting the evil plans of a political faction called "The Core."

The game is scheduled to launch with the WiiWare service on May 12th, and will sell for 1,000 points. ($10 USD)

Ubisoft is excited to bring Protöthea exclusively to the platform and we feel it's a must-have WiiWare title," shared James Regan, vice president of third party operations, Ubisoft. "Protöthea really reminds me of some of the best arcade games, with the Wii Remote as an added dimension. It's just a flurry of fast-paced action that anyone can simply pick up and enjoy.

Is anybody planning on purchasing this game at launch?

I'm definitely buying LostWinds at launch, but I can't decide whether to get this or Gyrostarr.
