Ant Nation - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum

Spent 30 minutes with Ant Nation and it's pretty quirky. Only completed 10 missions and not enough time to form a full conclusion on it yet. The audio and video is decent. You start with 5 ants and have missions available. Your starting items are a magnifying glass that zooms in, haven't figured out how to fry them with it yet. You have a suck tube that can be used to transport the ants around and a finger that can poke the ants. The first missions are pretty tutorial like. 1 you have to call the ants out of the hole, then investigate them and move them. I got stuck at the leveling up mission for a second, but figured out I had to use my finger to squish them a little. Once they're toughed up they go up in level from what looks like 1 to 99. Each ant has stats and their scream when squished is pretty funny. Eventually I bought them a sugar cube and brought them to it with the suction tube. They liked that. I got the food by using the magnifying glass I looked around the level a lot and found some gold. Gold is obtained this way and on missions. It's used for buying food for your ants and probably tools and stuff eventually. Kind of an interesting little game and I hope to play it a lot this week and see what some of the missions have in store.

Played the first 6 bonus games and they are all kill the ants as quick as possible. It gives certain weapons to use for the challenge, and keeps a record of how fast you killed them all so you and friends can have something to strive to beat. The laser gun is really fun.

Sweet, looking forward to the read. I don't have to much time to rush through console games, but have been enjoying my steady pace and have been playing it more consistently than most games I pick up.

@sirgrim and Gabbo- A quick question. Do the ants in this game level up or something like that like getting stronger?

The review leaves me feeling mixed, but for the right price I may just give Konami some love.
