New footage of upcoming Wii title, Wiiwaa

A new trailer showcases one incredibly cute, very strange, but undeniably original controller

The Wii has set a standard with original control schemes over the last few years. The upcoming title aimed at younger players, Wiiwaa, is set to continue that trend.

Think the name is a bit odd? Well, thats nothing compared to the game itself. The game is controlled by moving a soft toy animal, not unlike a young child would play with such a toy. The Wii remote, which is inserted inside the toy, analyses its position and sends the data back to the Wii, for use in the game. Players will be able to take their creature on a somewhat on-rails adventure, play minigames, and even care for their creature as if it were a pet.

Confused? Well, check below to see the the game in action.

"Use your Wiiwaa puppet to control this little fellow just like a puppeteer would do. Walk, jump, dance, do crazy somersaults – whatever you do with your Wiiwaa puppet directly affects the Wiiwaa in the game," says Klaus Lyngeled, the Creative Director at Zoink Entertainment. "I dont think there has ever been a simpler and more natural way to play a videogame. Just pop in your controller and your Wiiwaa comes to life on the screen! The Wiiwaa plush toy expands the game from the screen and into the living room. Your hero and friend is right there with you, and you can continue playing with him even after the game console has been switched off."

The games developers, Zoink Entertainment, are currently looking for publishers and a release dates is as of yet unannounced.
