In the game it will be your task to guide Konki through 20 stages of mazes and obstacles in five different environments. Predictably there will be more than a few obstacles along the way, including treacherous landmarks and hostile enemies. A multiplayer mode is also promised, so you can compare you path-finding skills against your friends.
Some highlights of this new shooter, launching exclusively for WiiWare:
- Pilot Konki through 20 missions spanning 5 different environments
- Top-down shooter with creative use of the Wii Remote’s infrared pointer capabilities used to pilot your ship
- Pick up items and upgrades to enhance controls and chances of accomplishing your mission
- Four person multiplayer matches locally on your home console
- Compete for best times with online leaderboards
Nate Fitt, Marketing Manager of YUKE’S Company of America, had this to say about the deal:
We’re seeing some great digital distribution methods that allow us the opportunity to deliver fun games to consumers at an affordable price. Evasive Space is our debut on the wonderful WiiWare platform for the world’s most popular game console, the Nintendo Wii™ system. The game will stay true to the nature of the platform by offering an engaging and addictive space adventure that both casual players and hardcore gamers will appreciate.
Kerry J. Ganofsky of High Voltage Software also had some nice things to say:
This is our first game published by YUKE’S Company of America, and we’re looking forward to kicking off our relationship with the success of Evasive Space. We’ve had great experiences developing and distributing games through WiiWare, and we hope that our newfound cooperation with YUKE’S will deliver some great new games and generate positive results for both of our companies as we take advantage of new digital distribution opportunities.
All sounds rather positive to us. Let’s hope the game is up to scratch. It’s expected in January and will cost you 1000 Wii points, squire.

Yah first post.
This game sounds cool have to wait for more information before I make up my mind.
Never heard of this company, does anyone know any other games they have made?
I actually had to look it up. A bunch of WWE games...
Is WWE wrestling games? Are they any good?
Yuke's you mean? Primarily they make wrestling games... Which is why I'm not really ecstatic about this news...
Yukes is coming out with BPM Racing for WiiWare also.
It's really a High Voltage game guys. Yukes are simply publishing it seems. They have a pretty good track record on WiiWare and also are developing the Conduit so I have high hopes for this one.
My favorite wrestling game is Pro Wrestling for the NES. Simple game, but I like the different wrestlers and their special moves, especially the Back Brain Kick!
I'm going to watch this game.
Hopefully, screenshots will be coming soon!
Normaly Nintendo gives the publisher of the game credit. So is this a High Voltage game or a Yukes game?
Looks like they are working together from the first sentance of the story.
Okay but who is going to get credit or take the blame when this game comes out?
I guess they both will.
Why don't they publish it themselves? They must need funding.
Since High Voltage isn't publishing it (alone?), let's see if Yuke does a better job than them at getting this games over here, 'cause HV's other games are a lost hope.
I'm not usually for one word responses, but this time I think it fits just perfectly...
Meh.
I just lvoe HVS, i will download for sure!
"Let's see if Yuke does a better job than them at getting this games over here"
That's exactly what i was thinking. Maybe if this is released in Europe and it is successful, HVS will get a move on with their other games. I do like the sound of this game and if it gets released in Europe, i'll look into it.
The only one of their games that I'm honestly bothered about is the racing one - mainly because of the promise of expanding the game via DLC, and playing the game online.
I think these guys are just the icing on the "European Hatred" cake.
This seems okay but I look forward to HVS' main game: The Conduit!
@objection blaster
the conduit looks sooo awesome cant wait for it
but it doesnt come out until may 20
P.S. im so going to the midnight sale if there is one
the conduit looks sooo awesome cant wait for it
but it doesnt come out until may 20
No it doesn't.
The game doesn't have a release date.
Until you can provide a link, I'll have to ask you to stop spreading rumors.
As for this game...
I'll wait until High Voltage actually makes a good game before I get excited about anything they have to offer.
So far they're 0 for 2 on WiiWare. Any baseball fans out there will know that's not a great percentage.
"The game doesn't have a release date.
Until you can provide a link, I'll have to ask you to stop spreading rumors"
Sad to say, you're probably right. The closest thing to a release date I've heard is Q1 2009 but I think only that last word may be accurate.
"Until you can provide a link, I'll have to ask you to stop spreading rumors."
Here you go:

According to that site and Wikipedia, it's supposed to come out in March (or at least Q1 of '09), so Shadows was completely wrong.
I've heard March of 09 a lot. Which would be okay. That's only like four months away.
Hopefully they take their time though. From what I've heard, it sounds promising, and I'd hate for them to waste all that development time by releasing a game that's not 100% finished.
Sounds interesting.
High Voltage are making it so it could be promising.
@mr. cheez
thanx for backing me up man
@alexsays
march 09? may 09.
video games etc out were i live has a list of all the wii releases and it said The Conduit-may 20 2009
as for Madworld 3-4-09
anyone getting Animal Crossing City Folk?
I think WHETHER you can get Animal Crossing is the more pertinent question... massive over ordering by the sounds of it.
As for Evasive Space, I'll reserve judgement until seeing some shots and video footage...
video games etc out were i live has a list of all the wii releases
And that's wrong.
All those dates are wrong.
They're called guesses, or placeholders. That way retailers can sell preorders to people because they have a date.
The publishers of those games have not given any info on a release date, so all your dates are wrong. Sorry.
Mr. Cheez says so Shadows was completely wrong.
And then...
Shadows says to Mr. Cheez thanx for backing me up man
Yeah I don't understand it either.
ya well ill believe them before you
especially when their list says Animal Crossing City Folk comes out Nov. 16 which it does and i got it reserved r-tard
let alone Star wars L.S.D comes out in a couple days
Because Nintendo announced Animal Crossing's release date a long time ago. lol
Those other games aren't coming out for several months, and THEIR publishers haven't given a date.
Sorry I can't dumb this down enough for you to understand.
Have a nice day, I guess.
Can't wait to see some screens and a trailer. I liked Gyrostarr, Conduit looks like an "A" quality titles, Animalas de le Muerte...
High Voltage is doing good stuff. Keep it up.
@shadows-I'm afraid you have delivered a shipment of fail to this article. You should just walk away from this one. Also, "r-tard"? Really?
Alexsays said (lol) "Sorry I can't dumb this down enough for you to understand. Have a nice day, I guess." OWCH. BURN.
I have to see some impressions to form a real opinion, but it sounds interesting.
@AlexSays: I completely agree with, and understand, you. Let's leave these n00bs to keep themselves happy.
@ILoveWii: Hmmm... your name sounds familiar. I can't quite put my finger on why...
Wiiloveit - If you're being sarcastic about the name thing, please share who you think it is. I feel like I'm missing something...
I really can't tell what this game is about...
@shadows - The bottom line is that you shouldn't trust anyone but the publisher/developer. Crazy, I know. Wait until HV gives a date for the game, then talk. I asked a game store (who shall remain nameless) for a release date once, and they were wrong by several days. You also used the term "let alone" in the wrong context. You could use some grammar check-ups too. Try this...
"Yeah, well I'll believe them before you, especially since their list says Animal Crossing City Folk comes out Nov. 16, which it does, and I have a copy reserved, stupid.
Don't forget this completely unrelated sentence. Star wars Lightsaber Duels comes out in a couple days."
Seriously, that's annoying. I probably changed 30 things. At least throw in some periods so I can read it . Anyway, my spell of rudeness is over .
