Vinny Caravella and Alex Navarro: Space Bros.

This is a cool looking game. Multiplayer with people managing different systems reminds me of Space Team.

Only on Wii U? They must not want their game out there (unless this is a Nintendo product). Might've bought it otherwise

This looks great. If I had someone to play co-op with this would make me want a Wii-U

Man I'm really starting to enjoy Vinny + Alex coop game quicklooks a lot. The big differences in their personalities and approaches to games makes for a really fun dynamic with Vinny constantly creating chaos and Alex trying to contain it enough so that they don't die. Honk honk.

This game looks like a lot of fun for coop, I love the idea of one person managing power/systems while the other flies. Honestly wish I could watch them play through the whole game.

I would be extremely delighted if a cult/scam type operation were to be responsible for the first human landing on Mars.

It has more to do with the fact that it was specifically designed with the Wii U's gamepad in mind, they don't show it off well in the video, but all of the ship's systems are put on the gamepad. It really wouldn't work on any other system than maybe the 3DS.

Another charming Vinny and Alex co-op quick look! I can't wait until these guys are able to really start making full use of the new studio.

Wow, this game looks really neat! Looks like a great use of the Wii U controller.

I don't see any reason this couldn't work with multiplayer on any system. Divide the screen and each person takes their respective station. It'd work with online multiplayer too in the same way. With PC you could even mimic how it's played on the Wiiu.

Oh boy, one would think you guys have never played games together before. I didn't get any explanation of exactly what was going on. I just wanted them to stop(or slow) everything and tell me what all the systems were and the visual cues in the environment. I think Vinny just goofing around didn't help anything.

The game seems like it -might- be really cool to play. I don't have a WiiU though, so unless I hear crazy buzz about it, this may be the first and last I see of it.

Would definitely love to see some Alex/Vinny co-op endurance runs, if not this, then some other co-op game. Don't think that's ever been done on GB before!

I think if you come from Spectaculon you'd be a "spectacle".

Reading the description, I kinda thought this could be some kind of Star Citizen parody...

Every time Vinny blew that horn I for some reason lost my shit and started laughing uncontrollably.

Came here to make almost the exact same comment. bahaha

Having no idea what this game was I thought it sounded cool so clicked on the Quick Look, then thought maybe it was lame after it started, then realized it was amazing once I saw how they were handling the co-op. It could be like Space Team meets... The Lost Vikings? *HONK!*

At the risk of sounding like a total Sony fanboy (I am a fan), I think this game can totally make it to the PS4. It would also be a good marketer for the vita seeing as how you would need it to play this game. Would be anwesome bundle exclusive with a vita packed in.

I also think, primarily, it should be a vita title that can be connected to the big screen and make use of the Vita's screen as the control scheme. It will be a unique game and Sony would then have to make sure they cater to similar titles that make use of both systems in tandem.
