WiiWare fans can get their hands on Hudson's Onslaught this week. The downloadable game features 4 player co-op play ONLINE. That's right folks, through the magic of the internet you too can play with friends over the intertubes.
The game pits humans against insectoid aliens, and the cooperative mode looks a bit like a surival mode. Think...Starship Troopers meets waggle wand.
Onslaught costs 1000 Wii Points ($10) and is available now.
The WiiWare has been pretty sparse with co-op releases, but it's beginning to show some promise. With titles like Eduardo the Samurai Toaster and now Onslaught - the WiiWare looks like it could have some great original cooperative titles.
Onslaught is coming from publisher Hudson Entertainment, and will feature Wii-Mote controls. Shake the controller to reload, toss a grenade with the Nunchuk and drive a mech with your butt....ok I made that last part up.
Four player online co-op is a rare treat for Wii owners, and a gamble for Hudson - hopefully it works out for both parties! There's no word on a solid release date or a price yet for this title, so be sure to check back for details.
