Everyone’s favourite soft-bodied invertebrates are getting launched into space from a Wii near you next Spring. Worms: A Space Oddity brings the classic franchise to the Wii with a whole new setting and a whole new look that abandons the time-tested drawn look for “a distinctive style inspired by classic Sci-Fi looks”. Unfortunately THQ didn’t provide screenshots for this distinctive new look, so I have no earthly clue what that means. I’m hoping for a dime novel sci-fi painted cover look myself. The worms battle their way across six distinctive planets with a goal I can only imagine is total domination of the universe. With the move to the Wii comes gesture-based attacks, because you have to justify that Wiimote somehow. The game will feature enhanced single-player missions, party games, and four player online multiplayer. I’ll be keeping an eye out for screenies for what sounds like an interesting reinvention of the classic Worms formula.
