Namco Bandai Dishes up The Munchables Gut busting fun chomps its way onto Nintendo Wii. SANTA CLARA, Calif., (March 3, 2009) - Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced The Munchables an entertaining romp into a colorful and delicious action adventure for Wii. Exploring rich and vibrant environments, players will devour delectable enemies as they guide their quirky heroes in this zany alien munching mash-up filled with fun and addictive gameplay. The Munchables will chomp its way to stores this May. "NAMCO BANDAI Games is thrilled to provide such a fun and exciting addition to the vast library of quality Wii titles," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing and public relations for NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. "With colorful characters and eye-popping worlds, The Munchables will delight players of all ages." The home planet of the hungry Munchables is at stake when it is invaded by the evil Don Onion and his vicious band of space pirates. As their lively planet has been usurped, the embattled Munchables have only one hope; to devour their food enemies to grow large enough to defeat Don Onion and inevitably return peace to their captive land. In The Munchables, players are called upon to eat and defeat over 150 insidious enemies who have taken over the planet including Eggplanter, Space Shroom and Rice Baller. With each fallen foe, the daring omnivorous Munchables grow in size and power in their brave struggle. In this tantalizingly addictive game, players can also enjoy Mirror Mode, where stages are in reverse order and they must beat the clock in order to save the world. Eating your way to take on Don Onion and his delicious minions, The Munchables will leave you hungry for more!

Someone post the "Lol wut?" pic. Anyways, looks like it might be a good title. Extremely weird, but good. Oh, and it's nice to see another title use the Wii balance board.

Sounds a lot like Cubivore to me... so it might be pretty good. I'll keep my eye on it.

I haven't played a good game from Namco Bandai since that underrated Soul Calibur Legends. I can't stand them much anymore, they milk Naruto badly, they took away D3 Publisher (Tomy's distributor), and now they make more bad things. I'm not hyped for this one bit. Maybe if they release a better Soul Calibur, maybe I will trust them.

Thank you for not being like the rest Namco-Bandai!

Except, you know, I'm still sore you denied us Katamari Wii. By killing the series. By thinking fans wanted half a game and would pay to unlock the rest.

Still, you ripped off Cubivore and I'm proud! Because Cubivore is kinda aged now anyway.

The PS3 owners were also pissed about no katamari game. Why did it have to just be for 360. *sniff* ...........................

Is it just me, or does this seem like Mario 64/Galaxy, in terms of level design.

That trailer was actually quite awesome. Gameplay and music reminds me of de Blob, which was one of my favorite 08 releases.

Lol Katamari Damacy all over again.:P Looks good though, especially when compared to the endless onslaught of terrible minigame collections and other shovelware.

I normally don't care about graphics, but I have to say that these are absolutely amazing.

It looks strange. It can be really, really good... Or really, really bad. Lol.
