Gravitronix (WiiWare)

I want Wiiware soon! $5 is a steal!

I am saving 500 points for this!

If it has good physics im in.

A battle game where you use shapes sounds like fun.

Hell yeah! I love physics based games.

I don't understand what this will be... hoping for screens soon.

sounds to me like SSB

Multi-player battle style Elebits? Maybe though I am really interested in this game as well! Maybe I'll use the left over 500 from twist and paint on this title?

Of all the announced WiiWare games, this one has me the most intrigued.

The price is nice too!

I'm intrigued myself and I was hoping it would launch on May 12th. I'm anticipating the day when it's added to the WiiWare collection. I can't wait!

And if the physics has any resemblance to Elebits, I will buy this game in a heartbeat, especially for the 500-point price tag!! (I loved Elebits! I can't wait to buy it someday. )

i wonder what the story will be about?

Hm... Who knows. If there even is a story.

I wish more information was released about this game. I keep getting the feeling that i'm really interested in this game to find out i know next to nothing about it.

This game looks awesome! 5 bucks 4 eight player!

i don't get what you do on this game. just pick up shaped and throw them at people?

I think its more than that strade, probably involving some strategy or something because of them talking about physics per object (like I know what that means ).

I'm probably wrong, and I'm sure someone here knows more about what that means.

i would need to see what it looks like to see if i really want it

@strade32 and RetroWare

Yah, that's exactly what they mean. Seems like they are going for a cheap Boom Blox, only with less replay value, which is the major appeal of Boom Blox. I'm not too optimistic about this game, but I guess I'll have to wait and see how it actually plays before I make my opinion about it, though.

...except that nothing they've said suggests the game is anything like Boom Blox.

Most descriptions have said it involves twisting the Wii remote to move a paddle back and forth in a territory with gravity beams at your disposal...and it's 2D.

Gravity beams? well, I guess that explains the name. I was exited by Niceguy's description, but if what you say is true, ETSM, then I am less than intrigued.

this game i might get but ill just wait for the review or more info

"The game is planned to be released when WiiWare debuts in 2008."

Cancelled?

Haha I just changed that! I spoke to Jesse a while back and Gravitronix is still under development, it just all appears to be taking a LONG time!

Does 8 player mean it will have Wi-Fi, because if it does, it's gonna suck, your not gonna get a good Wi-Fi game for $5.

i will definetly get this game
@weegee
for 8 players 4 people use the wii-mote the other 4 use the nunchuck

Well, after having played Strange Attractors 2, I now have very high standards for games that utilize Grabity, and I don't think it'll live up.

Hopefully 8 players equal Wi-Fi. If the online play don't lags it's a total steal. But it will be questionable without Wi-Fi. If this game gets Wi-Fi it will be in my Top 3 most wanted games.

this is one of my most anticipated games

Wow, how long is this game taking? I want it already! And if it has wi-fi, even better!

@WindOnFire
samer

Still, if its taking awhile, it means they must be working hard on it. Im OK to wait, just so long as the final product is good

@wifi Questions

I was posting on their website and they mentioned how they had to throw out the online idea..

Alwell.. the 8 player still sounded nice =p
I want this game to come out!! >_>

@WindOnFire
yea probably i can wait. besides i got helix and bomberman to keep me occupied for now

Geez... We've been waiting a long time
Perhaps a Boom Blox / Geometry Wars battle game? If so...

This is taking forever to get released. Still, good games take time and seeing as this is taking ages, it should be brilliant. Like i said before (As GameGod3008), it sounds great for Multiplayer action. Considering the price, i will seriously consider this upon release

@ Terranigma
Plattchen also took a long time to be developed,so don't get your hopes up too high. But I have to admit that this game does sound awesome.

@Nintendork
I'm not, especially after that. We can hope though and it certainly does sound awesome. I Wonder what Medaverse have planned after this

I find it funny how this game has been announced since before Wiiware launched, and there's still hardly anything known about it! there aren't even any screenshots!
I'm thinking it'll be a bomberman-type game, but instead of using bombs you throw shapes at people. Hope there's wifi.

Can't be too bad at 500 points.

I've been waiting for this for ages. I wish we'd hear something soon.

yeah... maybe its cancelled?

No Gravitronix lives! I chat to Jesse everynow and then, we might even be seeing screenshots soon!

Keep an eye on their blog for more info.

Come on Medaverse. Tell us more. Give us screens or a video or even an interview. It's been too long since anything was said.

how soon?

It does feel like it's never coming out. Heck, this was announced so long ago, i commented using the GameGod3008 profile before i changed to Terranigma (nearly a year ago now).

I Just have to wonder what's the current situation with it. The blog hasn't had any updates and there haven't been any press releases lately. Also, i wonder what that Paranoia game is. Maybe that has something to do with the long wait. I wonder if that will be a WiiWare game as well.

I can't believe that a day after posting that message we get so much new info. Maybe they're watching over this page and it's users.

Still no screenshots!?!? Grrrr....

Like Terranigma, I too am starting to feel as if this game is cancelled.

I hope it does come out, this game had me intrigued. This game reminded me of Bomberman Blast, although I don't know why.

The game concept sounds really cool. Hopefully the pictures will be polished and show off the game in its best light.

I think these guys appeared with a few comments in official nintendo magazine. It was a recent edition of the magazine. That suggests it IS very much alive and kicking as they say. It was a general article regarding wiiware.

Finally! Heaps of new info from their blog.

"Gravitronix will feature a 21 level campaign mode for 1-2 players. It offers 10 regular levels aimed at teaching you the gameplay and 11 challenge levels aimed at making you jump out of your chair and scream with joy when you finally beat them."

"we've finally nailed down some details about Grav's gameplay which we're 90% certain won't change before release.

Basic Gravitronix Gameplay:

• The game will feature up to 8 players on a single Wii with four players holding Wii remotes and 4 holding nunchuks (wifi didn't make the cut, but we have wifi plans for future games).
• The game is played on a circular arena and players can choose to play with two 180° territories or four 90° territories.
• Inside this zero-gravity arena, you will use four different projectiles as weaponry against opponents.
• Gameplay is as simple as twisting the Wii remote or nunchuk and pressing two buttons to fire different gravity beams, one to push projectiles away and one to capture them, holding them in front of your gravity platform as you move along your territory.
• Territories begin the game lined with a wall of shield pieces which are destroyed on contact with projectiles except the shard which bounces off shield pieces. When a projectile destroys a shield piece, it is destroyed as well.
• The objective of the game is to be the last territory remaining by eliminating all other territories. Territories are eliminated when a projectile passes through their territory line.

Great, but where art thou???

It shouldn't take this long to create a WiiWare game. Some WiiWare titles have been given sequels already.

Come on already, this better be good after such a long wait. No, not just good, amazing.

What can we honestly expect from the game? Look at the blog: A few guys working part time, no prior experience with ANY development, admitted that they've made lots of mistakes, etc.

Oh no, the trailers out and its disappointing.Guess we'll have to wait for release and a review

Uh, I think I'll pass on this one after seeing that video. Looks too confusing.

Ugh, I feel the same way cheetahman91

So after loooooooooooooooooooong wait, it's finally here. (in NA anyways)
