Revealed in the September issue of Japanese monthly manga magazine, CoroCoro Comic, was PokePark 2: Beyond The World, a sequel to last year's smash hit kids game, PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, which is thunder-shocking it's way onto Japanese Wiis this winter.
According to the first details, the game will feature a four player multiplayer mode and will let players play as other Pokemon besides the iconic Pikachu. Pictured in the magazine are angry versions of Pikachu, Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig, leading us to start dreaming of a four player co-op Pokemon game, and how awesomely it would work. Well, we can dream, anyway.
Oshawott means business.
Proving a huge hit with children (and, er, us), the original PokePark was a simple adventure game which involved talking to, and becoming friends with various Pokemon, as part of an overarching story which saw you attempting to locate pieces of a Sky Prism to prevent the Sky Pavilion from crashing to the Earth. Making friends with Pokemon was as simple as beating them at a game of hide and seek, answering questions in a quiz or winning a battle - at which point they rewarded you with their undying loyalty and a handful of berries. Of course, this being a PokePark, the game also lets you take part in the various attraction at this Pokemon themed fun fair, each in the shape of its very own mini-game - getting the farthest distance in a long jump or beating the other contestants in a race, which will reward you with a piece of the Sky Prism.
More is set to be revealed about it's sequel at the Tokyo Game Show later this week, but we're already overflowing with excitement. For kids, and big kids too, Pokepark Wii was an amazing game, so a sequel has us very interested indeed. Make sure you stay tuned, as there's likely to be loads more news on PokePark 2, as well as loads of other games over the next few days.
