Joystiq writes: "WiiWare will include casual, simple, and hopefully cheap titles with its upcoming release outside of Japan. While some of the Wiiware efforts on display at the Nintendo Media Summit impressed and surprised me, I was more ambivalent about Pop.
The simple game is just about pointing and clicking on bubbles that drift by. Click a bunch of like-colors in a row, and rack up a bonus score that's activated when you pop a different-colored bubble. Miss the bubbles completely, and the count-down timer jumps ahead, moving closer to the end of the game. The only other catch is that your potential points and time keep rising with bubble-popping combos, but they aren't added to the game until you break the run. Get too greedy, and you'll run out of time."
Player Attack: If you wanted to know a little more about how Aussie developers Nnooo managed to become the only self-published Australian developer creating games for Vita, here's your chance. We caught up with Nic and Bruce from Nnooo late last year at GCAP, and chatted all about the company's three major games: Pop, Spirit Hunters, Inc and - of course - escapeVektor. At the time, the company had only just started chatting to Sony about the development deal, instead seeming to pin their hopes on the 3DS version of escapeVektor which was also announced this week. How times change!
GamePron: Regardless of where you live in the world, a bargain is still a bargain, and the Aussie App Sale is certainly packed with great deals. It’s the third year of the Australian-made showcase, and there are already 26 awesome games and utility apps up for grabs.
Evan Campbell reports:
''Nnooo may be a recently established company, but Creative Director Nic Watt and company have big plans. We got the chance to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the WiiWare title Pop, along with details about future titles, the competition and their Pokemon MMORPG concept.''
