It's not just a Fourth of July fireworks display, it's a Fourth of July dual-display! The game is Big Bang Mini, a sort of space shooter in which you launch fireworks at your enemies to destroy them, much like the Americans did to the British back during the Revolutionary War, only in space and without muskets. You get 10 different world, each with their own distinct rules and abilities, and twenty-five music tracks from Yubaba, Smith & Fortune of Nervous Brickdown fame. It's due out this December from SouthPeak Games and developer Arkedo Studios. Kudos to their crack PR team for capitalizing on this most explodey of holidays!

@Puff: Damn right we love our explosions! On the 4th of July, we blow up our own country! Every other day we blow up someone elses! ;D

Not only did I have seizures watching that, I think my seizures had seizures. Good lord, that's a lot of flashing colored light madness.

I think China invented fireworks on July 4th or something.

Happy 4th July my American brothers and sisters! 'Scuse my ignorance but is July 4th America's birthday? I'd look it up myself but they censored the history books, it just says: "Fourth of July: Nothing happened. Nothing at all."

Wow, I think I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance here.. it's for DS, it's not Nintendo, it's not shovelwarey, it actually looks cool.. that's quite something nowadays.
Oh, and explosions are cool, happy 4th kids! :) (from a non-american)

For fucks sake not even the first comment can go by without some anti-american crap. Go back to digg.

@Neo Deus: Note - That's not political commentary.
Back on track, this game looks like it will be really fun. These silly, over-the-top games on the DS really tickle me the right way. :)

Fireworks are so... hypnotising. You can just watch them go on for hours (or as long as the show goes on).

@Gossy: I would actually say that September 17 is closer to America's birthday, because that's when the Constitution, which really defined what America is and would become, was signed. July 4th is technically more of a holiday to celebrate our moving out of our parent's basement into our own apartment.

I dunno, I don't mean to sound to critical but it seems like a game that can get old fast. Then again I only saw a 28 second trailer of it.

@themule: Did you know that your comment applies to most third-party titles made for the DS?

I just thought of a great solution for Bash's naming problem! He could just call the new kid Mini-Bash, and the old Mini-Bash would become Big Bash Mini!

OMG.
Love the style there. If it's a budget title, which it probably will be, I might put it on my Christmas wish list for some DS eye candy.
