The Nintendo Wii is being packaged with a squeaky clean image, in the sense that it's family-friendly and its games would cater to the wants of every member. But video gaming, just like real life, isn't all bright and sunshiny or nice and sweet - and that's where the game Sadness enters the picture.

Too bad that its developer, Nibris, has not been divulging more details about it. But to compensate for the lack of info to this hauntingly mysterious title for the Wii, the Polish game developer opened up about another game that they're brewing for the Nintendo DS and the Wii.

The new game they're developing is called Double Pang. From the title itself, you may already have an idea that this is not as dark and disturbing as Sadness. What is it all about? Well, the game is actually a new version of Pang (or Buster Bros. in the U.S.A), it is a one or two player arcade game which is the brainchild of Mitchell Corporations. It first saw the light of mass production in 1989 and was produced for various home systems such as ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Atari ST among many others.


Basically, the goal of the game is for you to go through 16 countries with each of 'em having three levels. What you do is destroy a series of balloons using a harpoon gun. When you have eliminated the Helium-filled thingamajigs, they will progressively divide into two wherein the smallest bubbles will go kaput when shot. Power-ups such as vulcan missile, free time clock, and double harpoon are present in the game.

Nibris is planning on unveiling the DS version on April 2007, while the Wii version is planned to come out on September. And basing from our last report, this game would be released earlier than Sadness (Q4 2007 or Q1 2008) and Raid Over the River (Wii release Q3 2008, DS release Q2-Q3 2007). Let's hope that Nibris keeps their word this time around and for goodness sake, talk about how Sadness is shaping up!

I want to believe everything that Nibris is offering, but they just have nothing to back it up.

Proposing something as complex as Sadness, then delivering Pang suggests that Pang is either a basic test of their skills, or a quick way to make some funding whilst Sadness is developed.

There's no evidence whatsoever that Nibris are even slightly capable, let alone capable of what Sadness promises.

Either way, we still have no evidence that Nibris are rmeotely
