From the developing company that brought us Sonic Rivals to the PSP, Backbone Entertainment will be releasing more creatures unto the Wii console with their upcoming game. Kelly Tainton, the producer of the game, talks about the gameplay of Monster Lab with the possibility of creating millions and millions of creepy crawlies. Details in the full article.

Monster Lab, Eidos' new action RPG title, brings more creature-battling madness to the Nintendo Wii home video game console. French video game news website Puissance-Nintendo recently scored a few more details about the game.

Mini-games will play a part in the creature creation process. Using the Wiimote, players can, for example, weld together various monster parts. In some of the mini-games, players' success rate will determine how strong or weak their creatures will be.

Combat will be handled in turn-based style. Players will be able to monitor how much damage their creatures' parts have sustained. Parts that have sustained a lot of damage will be shown in red.

Monster Lab will also feature multiplayer support. Players will be able to take their creations online and fight it out against other players or trade parts and items.

Monster Lab is currently under development by Backbone Entertainment and is slated for a Summer 2008 release.

 

French site Wiiz has posted 10 new screenshots of an interesting prospect for the Nintendo Wii game console called Monster Lab. Eidos and Backbone Entertainment are in this one together and so far, all seems to be going well.

Gameplay details haven't been made all too clear as of yet, but what we do know is that players will custom-build monsters with the help of a scientist that they'll meet along the way. There are 150 parts to mix and match along with some 300 items to boost your beast. Whether it will be done as an RPG or more like a simulation remains to be disclosed.

The developers say that the game is best described as "Pokemon meets Tim Burton," so we can expect a dash of dark comedy to go along with the quirky play. We'll inform you as soon as we get new info on Monster Lab.
