After being outed by an ESRB rating late last month, indie developer Semnat Studios officially announces the development of a WiiWare version of Eduardo the Samurai Toaster. Yes – Samurai Toaster.
Eduardo the Samurai Toaster is a side scrolling 2D shooter featuring frantic, hand-drawn graphics that put the power of toast at your fingertips. It’s got scooters fitted with lasers, five pastry-themed power-ups, and drop-in four-player co-op. It’s coming to WiiWare this winter, which I am relatively sure means sometime soon.
Look, honestly? Do we really need any details about this? You can check out the screens below if you’d like, but let’s be honest here. You were sold on the name alone. It’s okay. I too am thusly afflicted. Semnat could have very well just issued a downloadable screenshot with the title in big letters and I would have serious considered shelling out a couple hundred H25 points, just to always have that on my television.
