Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

The Wiire has some new information on what the developers will be doing in bringing the PS2 RPG Baroque to Wii, and it’s a pretty impressive read. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Wii port get this much hands-on time to make it better suit the platform. It will be interesting to see how it turns out in the end.

Two controller options will be available: Wii Remote and Nunchuk with first-person mode and motion controls, or Classic Controller support. Widescreen support will also be added for this version.

First-person is an interesting choice. Nintendo’s Zelda team experimented with the idea of a first-person Zelda during the development of Twilight Princess and eventually canned the idea, but perhaps we’ll see that in the future. It seems like a good idea if you’re planning to use the motion or IR controls directly. It’s obviously more intuitive to hit something with an object by waving the controller in its direction.

Screenshots are also at the links, if you’d like to see some of that.
