The latest issue of ONM features a tease for a world wide exclusive on a new Wii U game. Could it be the long-rumoured Acid Ghost?
hat certainly looks like a ghost on a cruise ship to me! The Acid Ghost rumour started circulating before E3 2012, and was expected to be revealed at the show. As nothing came to be, the rumour slipped into obscurity, but lets take a look…
You play as a ghost
Takes place on a cruise ship
AI cast, unique personalities
Haunt the cast with a variety of free-form, creative ways
Rewarded on success of scares
Poultergeist manipulation of people, lights, furniture.
Write in blood on walls.
Was originally meant to be revealed at E3 2012, featuring Eminem in trailer.
Being developed by one of Kuju Entertainment’s teams
Originally intended to be published by Konami for the Xbox 360/PS3
Game features a dark sense of humor
Play as an invisible evil spirit that haunts and terrorizes passengers on the ship
Use the Wii U controller to pick up random objects, grab people’s body parts, draw on the walls with blood, turn on and off lights in rooms, mess with passengers tv’s, radio’s, and laptops, and mess with their food when they aren’t looking
Walk into a woman’s room while she is sleeping and move her bed into a kitchen
Cover a kid’s bed in spiders
You’re rewarded for how much you traumatize the ship passengers
Each passenger has an individualized personality and characteristics

Kuji made a new demo of the game with Wii U controller ideas to show to Nintendo
It’s also worth noting that Retro studio’s secret title was also allegedly removed from E3 last minute.
Video game website PopBucket have featured a photo of ONM’s tease for next month’s reveal of a new scary Wii U game. First thing I thought of upon seeing the image…. Acid Ghost.
