Jett Rocket is released!

Written by pikaby

One of our mod team has got his hands on it, so we'll probably see a review from him sooner or later.



And from the looks of early gameplay videos by people who have played it already, the similarities to Mario Galaxy just don't stop. The graphics are pretty much Galaxy standard, which is really, really surprising for a Wiiware game, and when you start a level you're treated to the same style of fly-by of the stage you're in with the camera zooming in to the main objective. Just like....guess what....Mario Galaxy.

Jett Rocket's a platformer, like Mario Galaxy. He has three hearts, just like Mario in Mario Galaxy. The only thing really that separates the two is the less charismatic character you control in this game, but hey, how many Mario-caliber mascots do you get in 20 years time?

Many are hyping this up to be the Wiiware game of the year. Let's see what happens when the critic scores start pouring in for Jett Rocket. One to look out for. And it's on the shop now for 1000 Wii Points.

Jett Rocket official site!

Written by pikaby

Shin'en is either not doing very well financially, is too scroogey or didn't feel the need to make a fancy Flash website for a Wiiware game that probably won't sell despite how awesome-looking it is. I'm guessing it's the latter.

But how they managed to emulate Mario Galaxy's graphics at just a fraction of its production cost is way beyond me. Even if the game is drab, this Wiiware game could sail on aesthetics alone, especially if it isn't 1000 points.

The site is here. Features a collection of the trailers that are currently out on show for Jett Rocket and a few details.

A Wiiware game that looks like Super Mario Galaxy?

Written by pikaby

Don't take my word for it. The game's called Jett Rocket, a platformer game created by Shin'en, makers of Iridion 3D (GBA) and Nanostray 1/2 (DS). Their fingerprints are all over this game-even the music reminds me f something from Nanostray.

And it does look surprisingly similar to Mario Galaxy, albeit with a slightly less iconic character. Let's see if the gameplay will stack up as well as the graphics.
