Namco Bandai's The Munchables looks like it could be the feel-good hit of the Spring for Wii owners. It's cute, colorful and looks to borrow from the best.

The first trailer for the recently announced The Munchables further entrenches the game's inherent similarities to titles like Katamari Damacy, The Maw and Nintendo's Kirby series. That's quite possibly a good thing for Wii owners wanting something more the pap most third party publishers are offering now.

What's potentially bad about the trailer is the 2D visuals on display are a little more pleasing. But we'll withhold judgment before going Wii Remote and nunchuk-on with the thing.
