The studio that brought us Trials HD is crafting a little special something specifically for Wii owners. It's called MotoHeroz, and it's hitting WiiWare possibly as soon as this year.
Fans of RedLynx's Trials HD will probably feel at home with the 2D side-scrolling platformer MotoHeroz in their hands, despite its cartoon-inspired visuals and Wii remote tilt controls. Just like in RedLynx's previous and aforementioned title, MotoHeroz will put you in control of a wheeled vehicle and have you racing across obstacle-laden levels. RedLynx is suggesting that momentum and physics will be key ingredients, too, in addition to level-by-level high score nabbing, similar to Trials HD. Presumably, the simple joy of mastering the game's mechanics will have its place as well.
== TEASER ==But that's not to say that this MotoHeroz isn't without its own twists that stray from the Trials mold. MotoHeroz will feature a 100-level adventure mode complete with a "memorable characters" narrative nod, a two-to-four player local party mode, and an interesting "daily competitions" component, that may take some of the sting out of not being able to create your own maps online. It also features rally cars instead of motorcycles.
On the technical side, it's being promised to run at a steady 60 frames-per-second when it hits.
As for when it's expected? MotoHeroz might appear on WiiWare as soon as 2010 or in "early" 2011.
