It would appear that High Voltage made a pretty penny or two from their last WiiWare release, Gyrostarr, as the company has announced they're working on a new game for WiiWare. Titled High Voltage Hot Rod Show, this game will be hitting WiiWare this fall and features a "unique stunt system" that gives players "multiple ways to build boost." The game will utilize the company's Quantum 3 engine technology and has support for up to 4 players via local split-screen, features 5 racers, and has 6 different tracks.

Vejam o video que dá um aspecto mais bonito ao jogo (sem qualquer duvida). Não vi nenhuma info relativa a um possivel online, o que é uma pena!

Edit:
Hoffman Estates, IL – October 10, 2008 - High Voltage Software, Inc., one of the world’s largest independent developers, today announced High Voltage Hot Rod Show, an intense new racing title scheduled for release on the WiiWare downloadable service later this Fall.

High Voltage Hot Rod Show requires players to master more than the basic racing skills to compete. A unique stunt system gives players multiple ways to build boost, which drastically increases a Hot Rod’s speed. If you get too greedy, you might crash and burn! The game utilizes the company’s proprietary Quantum 3 Game Engine technology, which provides graphical performance and game play not possible on other Wii titles.

“We wanted High Voltage Hot Rod Show to be a fresh and exciting racing title for the Wii that would provide up to four friends with endless replay value,” said Kerry Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. “The result is a game that is easy to pick up and play, but maintains a core of skill-based racing, which gives it special appeal.

“Style was important to us on this project,” said Benjamin Savage, Lead Artist on the title. “We were inspired by the work of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and that led us to design some really exciting characters, Hot Rods, and even music. We hope players will love the direction we’ve taken.”

“We set the bar for ourselves very high with each new title” said Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer of High Voltage Software. “Not only have we created a fantastic racing title with support for split-screen racing and online leaderboards, but we’ve also demonstrated the incredible versatility of the Quantum 3 Game Engine.”

Suporta online, mas apenas para leaderboards. Chatice...

In Hot Rod Show, close quarters racing and the long-forgotten art of memorizing tracks will be the order of the day. Typically for a High Voltage game, loads of attention has been paid to the controls. VanVeld reports that we can use a horizontally positioned Wii Remote (as in Excite Truck), the Classic Controller, a GameCube controller, or add a Nunchuk and use the thumbstick for steering.

Posso fazer 3 posts seguidos? :S

Alguem sabe a razão dos jogos Wiiware da High Voltage não serem publicados na Europa? Este já não é o primeiro, há o Gyrostarr e o Evasive Space nunca ca chegaram.
 
Tanto quanto sei, creio que é por a editora dos titulos ser a yuke's (?) que é japonesa e tem apenas uma representação precária na América (e não-existente na europa)
 
Não percebo a função das editoras no Wiiware... é preciso pagar alguma coisa para se estar no Wiiware?
Não, mas é preciso fazer a localização do manual de instruções para várias linguas e assegurar outros serviços minimos; bem como assegurar rating pelo sistema usado no local em que o jogo vai ser publicado. Por exemplo vai ser a Nintendo a levar o World of Goo para o Japão e a Square-Enix a levar o Lost Winds.

Além de que muitas vezes estamos a falar de "editoras" porque foi um projecto encomendado/financiado para ser posto em nome delas no serviço. (ou a receber dividendos, vai dar ao mesmo)
