Woo! Let's hope they include the microphone support from the Dreamcast version!
It's a bit of an obscurity, but the DC version actually supported the Seaman microphone. It was pretty funny to watch someone sit there and repeat "Drill. Drill. Drill." over and over.

Mujah

Would it be too much to hold out hope that this game makes it to Wii-ware as well? It'd fit right in with the Tetris, Dr. Mario, and Bomberman titles that have already been announced...

DC2??? Please. It's more like the anti-DC.

VAMP

More proof that 360 = DC2 (that's supposed to be a good thing.)

I want my Shenmue 3, please.

Now Where's Chu Chu Rocket! (I know Sega makes it, not Namco)

Had this game on my Sega Dreamcast. Loved the title announcement.

peacefuloutrage

Awesome, I had a blast with that game on Dreamcast.

t0yrobo

bought!

Truepatriot

I loved Mr. Driller on the Dreamcast. This looks great and might be worth a look if I ever get a 360.

@Fenris Wolf: sort of and actually in story line ( I know a puzzle game with a story?) this is supposed to be the main char from dig dugs son.

RazorandBlade

Mr. Driller....

Huh hu huhuh Huh.....

King Seafoam

Do you really have to ask?

Awesome != PSN

Sorry.

StarkRavingMad

Man this game is awesome... why can't this be on the PSN? Why???

Adam_Locked

Yay~ If I'm forced to buy a 360 one of these days, I'll be really happy to have this game to play! I adore Mr. Driller! The screens look amazing too!

Puchi

I can't wait for this, it had to be one of the best pick-up and play titles for the Dreamcast... So much time waisted on this... though I fear more time will be lost to it..

AudibleDefect

I'm buying it. The rush-job American DS version was slightly disappointing, but the improved multiplayer focus here will not fail to please.

eastx

Dig Dug for stoners!

Liopleurodon

This will be a must buy for me if it also has the brilliant music from the Japanese Gamecube version.

Nishkujo

Meesta Dreela! Aireee! With this and American Idol Karaoke Revolution my wife will be online more than me.

@NotAZombie: That joke was made ages ago.

Agies

@NotAZombie: I think I've discovered my pornstar name

dabu

Wait, am I the only one who got something sexual out of Mr. Driller? You guys disappoint me.

NotAZombie

@Fenris Wolf: More like Dig Dug Jr., but found out his Mom had an affair with a Tetris block. I think it's the L shape, but that Z's a bit of a whore.

doctorwily

I was going to bitch that it was only 2player multi again, since there was only two split screens.

So, now, when are they releasing this thing? And when's the Yukiho DLC coming out?

@Fenris Wolf: Kind of. The series was sort of a sequel/spin-off in the first place, as it was going to be Dig Dug 3. The main character of Mr. Driller is the son of the main character of Dig Dug.

Basically, instead of digging around a specific screen trying to reach enemies and blow them up, you're constantly digging downwards trying to survive or reach the end of the tunnel. Blocks will fall if they have no support and crush you (not unlike the rocks in Dig Dug, but with a satisfying delay so you can drill away,) and connected blocks will all be drilled through at once, so there's a lot of strategy in making your way down the level.

The levels are nice and long without getting frustrating and it's easily the most addictive puzzle/platformer I've ever played.

Taiyz

Oh Jesus! What in the hell are they trying to do to me? They know I can't take it... I never got the DC version because I knew I'd be in troube, but that was easy. Now you tell me it'll be a small $10 purchase away? Crap! There goes what little life I had left.

Agies

Pretty awesome that I lack the hand-eye coordination to post in the wrong feature.

Strangely reminds me of Puyo Puyo

Fyren

Nicely done. Still got the PS1 version somewhere, might get it out tongiht in celebration.

PaddyStardust

Its evil. But I found it through Apache's website. I'll throw their name www.ve3d.com , they could use the traffic.

Fyren

Is this game like Dig Dug?

Fenris Wolf

This sounds totally kickass. I loves me some drill.
