Hamsters Heading to Nintendo DSiWare

Tom Create has revealed a new Nintendo DSiWare game for Japan, called Go! Go!! Hamster. The team behind recent European release Bleach The 3rd Phantom is back on the Nintendo handheld once more, although this time taking the download service route.

Go! Go!! Hamster has players taking control of a cute little hamster that rolls along 2D side-scrolling levels in a small wheel, jumping to avoid obstacles and collecting as many seeds as possible before reaching the end of a stage. This is no dash-a-thon like Sonic the Hedgehog, though, since should you hit too high a speed when rolling, the poor creature will be flung from the wheel, with death on the horizon soon after. There are also several boss battles that await gamers during the adventure.

Go! Go!! Hamster is due for release in Japan during the Spring period for a mere 200 Nintendo Points
