More inside The game also has completely shifted to the third dimension instead of just being a quasi 2d/3d game. “”Ubisoft is excited to bring Protothea exclusively to the platform and we feel it’s a must-have WiiWare title. Protothea really reminds me of some of the best arcade games, with the Wii Remote as an added dimension. It’s just a flurry of fast-paced action that anyone can simply pick up and enjoy.”” The game will cost 1000 points when its released, but No Australian release has been confirmed.
