Based off?

Looks exactly the same. Good thing in my books.

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> ...I've played this game before.

Except is was called Tumiki Fighters.

Ooh, game editor? That alone would justify a budget purchase! :D

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Tumuki Fighters clone or not, it still looks good.

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> The irony of a years-old freeware game being called a "blast of fresh air" is truly sweet.

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> For the love of Gunstar, why is this for Wii and not DS?
Uhg, they could've at least kept the old name.

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> it's like tron on acid

ITR

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Torus Troopers would be pretty fantastic for the Wii. Hold the Wiimote sideways, and tilt left and right to steer. Built for it, man!

All you Kenta Cho fans need to also check out this page here. Warning Forever is the pick, but Shooters Solitude is also extremely worthy, and may just remind you of a certain radiant title...

CheekyLee

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> It's been mentioned here numerous times, but it really can't be stated enough - if you're a fan of shooters who hasn't heard of his work, you really need to acquaint yourself with some Kenta Cho. I particularly recommend rRootage - bullet hell at its finest, with modes that reference other classics like Ikaruga.

Campster

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Cool concept, but is that really all they could do with the graphics? Im a big fan of Rez and other old-school vector type graphics, but this game doesn't even look as good as the original Tempest arcade game. How about a good port of Spectre VR?

cybereality

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> ... Holy crap, TUMIKI Fighters.

... Holy crap, more people who know who Kenta Sho is.

I need Noiz and Torus Trooper for console now. NOW. Do you hear me?

PratzStrike

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Kenta Cho makes amazing games, good to see he might actually make some money off one of em :D

Kamakazie

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Wonder if they will also make my gavorite "Torus Trooper" too! Kenta Sho is one talented individual. His games would fit nicely on the newly confirmed Wii Ware channel.

Shiryu

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Does anyone know if this will be retail or download?

kingofallcosmos

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> May be I like it just because this is what games look like before you get to make the pretty...LOL

So if they add sprites and some 3d object you would be all over it then huh?

Runna

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Yeap I'm wonder what else they will add but I'll be getting this one any way... Now where is maple story for the Wii!

It's like the old days release some share ware then go big time with it. Almost no one knows about this game.. really... this news has been out for a while and the free version has been out way longer... Why this wasn't on the xbox 360 is any ones guess...

Runna

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Wow is that game ugly...

RPGZero

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> the graphics in this game is a fxxking insult.

L13

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> I dont know, I doubt I pick this up but who knows.

Irenicus

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> My first thought is that this was Noiz2a but I guess it's on the same developer page that TUMIKI Fighters is on (in jp so I can't read it). Noiz2a runs on OSX, I'm not sure if TF has a port for Mac.

Is TUMIKI Fighters (this one) the one where your ship gets larger and larger? IIRC, this is in the near-abstract shooter genre.

milkfilk

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> @Ketsuban: I guess the name is too complicated. It's spelled wrong in that article right at the top.

StealthNachos

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> When I heard Kenta Cho had a game coming to the Wii, I just knew it was going to be Tumuki Fighters. It's not bad game, though I prefer rRootage. I think this would be perfect as a WiiWare game instead of a boxed game.

Do Kesubei

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Yeah, I'm all for "quirky" graphics, and the screenshot thumbnails had me all excited for a Rez-like look, but then I clicked through to the big versions and I was all like "bleh". They almost look like placeholder graphics. I mean there's style and then there's just plain laziness. In this day and age, I don't think plain colored boxes to represent game items really cuts it anymore. I mean the Bally Astrocade and Magnavox Odyssey 2 are no longer going concerns.

I've never played the original free version, and I probably wouldn't mind graphics like this in a free game (in fact I can guarantee I wouldn't), but when I'm paying money for something I expect a little more polish from it.

badasscat

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> I can't believe there are people here that expect every writer on this site to know every thing about every little obscure game in existence. It's not even possible lol.

Gamemaster

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Looks fun! I'm down

kidko

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> @Apreche: Especially when you consider that they already reported correctly on it.

Ketsuban

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Kenta Cho is one of my favorite developers and I am glad that he will get paid. I hope more of his game will come to consoles. Hopefully handheld consoles.

jackal888

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Ugh, I thought after seeing the logo earlier that they were going to redo the graphics a little, or at least make the colours a little less muddy/muted. Guess not.

swarmster

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> It's just a port of Tumiki fighters. I don't expect Majesco to mention it in the press release, but shame on Kotaku for not knowing. You can't expect to report on video games if the people reading your stuff know more than you do.

Apreche

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> I am somewhat disappointed that Kenta Cho receives no mention at all for actually coming up with the game concept. I'll probably buy this, but I'm not happy that I'd be giving money to someone other than the original programmer and visionary.

Ketsuban

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> It doesn't even look any different from the original.... I'm hoping this isn't a trend in Wii downloadable content cuz I'm going to be skipping this one.

ruiner9

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Why did they have to change the name? Tumiki Fighters to complicated? One of my favorite games, but unless they make some insane improvements (like coop multiplayer) I don't plan to pay for what's already on my computer for free.

StealthNachos

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Nice! I love these types of games. I'll buy it!

MarkPhoenix

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> @Rukusa: Oh really, well I guess you all should pick it up while you can.

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> "relatively state shmup"

I looked state up in the dictionary and couldn't find any meaning for it that fit your usage here. I'm sure there must be a different word you're looking for.

Anyhow, I quite liked Tumiki Fighters, but can't really see how the thing could be on the level of a full priced game. Maybe this could be for the Wii's new original downloadable content recently promised?

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> HA! It so is bizaro Geometry Wars.

Ravana

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> @t0yrobo:

I think that it was announced way back that Tumiki was coming to some platform and when it would be released the 'Free' version wouldnt be so free anymore.

Rukusa

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> You forgot to mention the game this is based off of, Tumiki Fighters. Which is free and incredibly fun.

t0yrobo

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Man this game is free........ and old I can't believe they are charging for free games what is the developing world coming to. Seems like they adopted the movie industry policy of ripping on someones workk or rehashing it.

rickyyo

]]> <![CDATA[Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy]]> Finally, something new for the wii that isn't a mini-game.
