Frobot Funks Up WiiWare on December 20th
Posted by James Newton
1000 Points of smooth funk
Who's the shiny metal dude who makes all the ladies scream? Frobot! You're damn right. He's also coming to WiiWare on December 20th after a long period of polishing, priced at 1,000 Nintendo Points.
We played it back in April and since then Fugazo has been hard at work making important tweaks and changes that should hopefully make Frobot worth the wait.
Check out the new trailer below and ready your Nintendo Points for December 20th.
Frobot’s Comin’ to WiiWare December 20th!
SEATTLE, Wash. - December 7, 2010 - On December 20th Frobot is beaming out of another dimension straight into your living room on Nintendo’s WiiWareTMservice!

Mmm.. doesn't really appeal to me. I'll try the demo if it gets one.

@DarkCoolEdge
Re-read the press release. A demo is launching on the same day.

Don't care. Not even a demo and good review could persuade me.

This game is insanely fun. It's one of those games you just can't put down. And some puzzles are downright insane.

This is the worst case of robotic blaxsploitation I've ever come across... well, actually it's the only case.

Greatest game trailer... ever?! I'm not sure if I want the game, but dang that video reeks of funk. I will try the demo out and give it a chance just because that trailer was that good.

Bout time! The video's been on the Nintendo channel for a loooooong time already. I'm glad they're getting a demo out too.

I hope they didn't "funk up" in development and drop the ball. (Comment made for bad pun.)

Will_Ireland said:
That was, THE greatest trailer I have ever seen. Period.

Not the best take on the "Shaft" theme song I've heard. Then again this is the only one I've heard.

I'm surprised to see Corbie say this is insanely fun because the gameplay footage looks terribly boring. I guess I'll have to try the demo.

i'll give it a try if they demo-release it...not sold for 10 bucks at the moment though.
Theme song or w/e that was was...well...didn't make a very strong impression. At all.

Hahaha its so funny how some people here can't appreciate how awesome that just was...

Link79 said:
I smell a 7/10 from Nintendolife. No way this will get anything above a 7. The whole concept of a robot with an afro is just wack. This game will be very funked up indeed. I'm just not feeling it.

Corbs said:
@Link79 - How much money you wanna lay on that bet?
#34
Link79 said:
Hmm lemmie see here...(checks wallet) Dang! fresh out.
If it's supposedly so good I guess I'll withdraw my prevoius statement.
Now I'll wait for the final verdict. I'm still kinda freaked out by this one.
