Jap, Zoonami. Martin Hollis. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Game Zero - und nun mal 'ne ganz andere Richtung:
Nach Kenji Eno und Giles Goddard die dritte "Wiederauferstehung" berühmter Designer unter Nintendos Fittichen in dieser Woche. Vielleicht lebt sogar Game Zero noch irgendwo...
http://wii.ign.com/articles/967/967075p1.htmlIn rare but welcome form, Nintendo has given us a glimpse of its latest WiiWare title hitting the Wii Shop Channel this coming Monday. Bonsai Barber, developed by Martin Hollis (development lead on GoldenEye for Nintendo 64) and his Zoonami team, is a very unique casual-style experience that puts shears and buzzcutters in your hand to groom a wide assortment of characters with branches growing out of their noggin.
Bonsai Barber works off the Wii's system clock, with players being allowed to groom five characters every day. By using the Wii remote's pointer functionality, you'll have to use barber tools to give each character a professional cut by snipping away at the leaves and branches. The game features semi-realistic leaf and branch behavior as well as incredibly precise pointer controls (with twist), so you can hack away at the entire shrub by snipping closer to the root, or simply pluck away at edge leaves with the razors to get as close to the desired shape as possible. You can even bend the branches with the comb tool to create parts in the "hair" as well as tangle it all up into bunches. Don't fret if you've cut a little too close for comfort: if you hacked off more than desired you can simply grab the spritz bottle and regrow the lost branches to try again.
Though the goal is to give a five-star professional cut, you can pretty much do whatever you want without the risk of failing. Any cut that you give can be saved with the in-game "camera," and photos snapped can then be sent to the Wii message board and delivered to friends via WiiConnect 24 or sent to the Photo Channel. Bonsai Barber has a ton of secrets, including an achievement system that features a wide variety of awards to earn. Do well enough and the characters will offer you gifts – in our hands-on we unlocked a flower pot that gave us the ability to practice all sorts of haircuts in a time trial mode. And being a Zoonami title, there's a lot of British charm and humor in the game.
Bonsai Barber is being published by Nintendo and will hit the US Wii Shop channel this Monday for 1000 points.
