Loads More Mushroom Men Screens And Details, Possibly Poisonous

Fungi? Mushroom nations? I blink perplexed, until I realize it's Red Fly Studios' Mushroom Men duo of games for Wii and DS, to be published by Gamecock in October.

Here are tons of new screens of both the Wii version, Mushroom Men: Spore Wars, and the DS version, Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi.

Gamecock also provided further info on the four different "nations" of mushroom creatures - put simply, there are two tribes of good guys, the Bolete and Morels, and two tribes of bad guys, the Amanitas and Lepiotas. Hey, wasn't "Amanita" a poisonous mushroom in Symphony of the Night? It must be a real, actual thing that exists outside of video games. Amazing!

Full details and new screens after the jump.

Mushroom Men Info Dump

No, I'm not talking about a certain pair of plumbers. These Mushroom Men are the kind that lurk in the shadows of everyday life, and hold wars amongst themselves, at least in the two upcoming Mushroom Men games: Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi for the Nintendo DS, and Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars on the Wii. So while you look at the screens and concept art from the games, ask yourself this question: why was the Mushroom Man invited to all the parties?

Earlier today Gamecock announced that their annual mini-con, EIEIO, was moving from California to Texas to coincide with South By Southwest.
