WeeWaa is an upcoming video game being developed by Zoink Games for the Wii. It is a unique title due to the fact it is controlled by placing the Wii Remote inside a stuffed toy, which is used to control the on-screen avatar. The game is in development and a release date has yet to be announced. It made its first playable appearance at Gamescom 2010.
Gameplay
Aimed at young children, WeeWaa offers a unique take on motion controlled gaming by offering control via a stuffed toy named WaaWaa. By feeding the Wii Remote into WaaWaa's mouth, it becomes a controller that can be used to move its in-game counterpart. Various minigames are accessed by navigating WaaWaa across a hub world, shaking him to make him walk down paths and turning him to change course. Various actions in these minigames include tilting WaaWaa to make him surf, throwing him to make him jump, laying him on his face to hide from enemies, and bouncing him from his elastic ears to act as a bungee. There are plans to incorporate support for additional Wii Remotes so that parents can control on-screen butterflies to guide the player.[1] The toy comes with a set of badges that players can pin on WaaWaa as a sign of accomplishment.
Development
WeeWaa was first revealed on November 4, 2009, under the title Wiiwaa with a site containing a promotional trailer. Zoink Games targeted a 2010 release and is looking for distribution partners worldwide. The game made its first public appearance at Gamescom 2010.
According to nintendoeverything.com[2] the development was suspended in the late of 2012.
