WiiWare: 'De Blob' Creators Make Side Scrolling RTS For WiiWare

While Codeglue are working on the Wii version of De Blob, the original PC creators are working on a brand new Wii project - Swords & Soldiers for WiiWare.

"Swords & Soldiers is a side scrolling real time strategy game, in which three distinct factions battle for the powers of the gods. The game will feature a single player campaign and a competitive split screen multiplayer mode as well as several other game modes. Three screenshots are included with this press release.
Akker: “We always dreamed of designing an RTS and when Wii Ware came out we immediately figured that this was our chance.”

Swords & Soldiers will be the first competitive strategy game on Wii Ware and is scheduled for European, Australian and American release in Q4 2008."

Right now it's looking VERY interesting. It's like Defend Your Castle meets Patapon with the style of Castle Crashers, and all three of those have some big fans. Hopefully some videos pop up soon.
