"Colorado, USA - January 5th, 2009 - Indie developer Semnat Studios is excited to finally announce the upcoming WiiTM release of Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, an incredibly fast and frenetic sidescrolling, run'n'gun 2D shooter. The game will be released exclusively for WiiWareTM this winter, developed and published by Semnat Studios.

With visuals drawn and scanned in from several different art mediums such as pen & ink, acrylic paint and charcoal, Eduardo sports an untraditional aesthetic design for a videogame. Jump, shoot, whip, drive, fly and throw your way through hordes of Peking Opera pastries, spear toting carrots, robotic mangos, and more. Play with friends as you learn to cooperate effectively, or be annoying by throwing each other around the screen and attacking one another. "

FEATURES

- Drop in co-op play for up to four players.

- Ride scooters equipped with laser-blasters and fly around in rocket packs in single player or co-op.

- Use 5 different pastry pickups to upgrade your firepower.

- Battle enemies through 13 unique levels.

- Several different difficulty options to choose from, allowing players to pick their desired level of challenge.

Looks like fun. Odd concept, but I like the art-style.

Sounds interesting. The art direction however looks extremely bad, like a bad flash game or something.

That's it, I'm buying this no matter what just so I can tell my grandchildren that I played as a samurai toaster.

Seriously though, this sounds like an idea that is ridiculous and stupid enough that it could very well be awesome.

This level of epic is off the meter. Samurai toasters for the win.

Pretty sure that means winter, as in this winter. Its already ESRB rated and they want it out before April.

I love the art style they took with this game, I think that putting to much graphical power into a game about a samurai toaster would ruin any reason to get it IMO. Somewhat World of Goo-ish I think, at least it's just as interesting.

I completely agree with you! The title alone will sell this game.

Are you kidding me? This kind of crap is exactly the reason why I never thought Wiiware would amount to much, and as of yet I'm still not impressed.
