WiiWare: Samurai Toaster Shoots Stuff Till Its Dead
Semnat Studios have released the first trailer of Eduardo the Samurai Toaster this week. If you thought you had an idea on how the game played due to the name, prepare to be wrong.
Somewhat of a side-scrolling platform shooter, Eduardo travels though levels filled with scribble, paint and the most bizarre level design shooting at everything in his path.
It certainly looks interesting enough, but will it end up being a great addition to WiiWare? Are you looking forward to Eduardo? Nintendo seems to have courted quite a few indie developers now after the success of World Of Goo, but can they match it in quality software?
Let us know in the comments.

Well, now that I've seen it in motion, it certainly has an interesting visual style to it. I really like the combination of the shmup and platformer genres; not enough of those around.
I have to say I really am looking forward to this. It seems to have quite a bit of action, which is always fun, as long as it doesn't get to be too much to look at at once considering the business of some of the visual styles in certain levels.
World Of Goo really was amazing, so it would be nice if everything else had that kind of quality to it, but I'm sure it's not easy to get the music, visuals, and gameplay mechanics to flow together so perfectly. I'm interested to see whether future indie titles on the WiiWare service will follow in World Of Goo's footsteps or not.
