Nintendo Media | Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have revealed some new details on the upcoming Acme-filled classic, Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal as Bugs Bunny and friends hit the big screen.

Aussie-Nintendo , recently took the game for a spin with some interesting details on the forthcoming platformer.

's up to you and the Looney Tunes gang to travel through the ages to stop their history from being erased. You'll be smashing and shooting your way through familiar locales like Camelot, Egypt, Mars and the Wild West, very similar to what you have seen in the cartoons...

...This game plays like your typical 3D action platformer. Even though this game had just a little way to go before being complete, the models, animation and textures looked more or less like the final product. From what we saw, it was one of the best looking games on the Wii to date. They tried many graphic styles for this game, one of which being my all time favourite, cel-shading. They finally settled for the 3D cartooney graphics you see here today because it just worked the best. Warner Bros. pointed out the fact that Red Tribe worked very hard on pushing the Wii graphics. One of their proud accomplishments was the shadow effects in this game, and it showed. No more do character shadows slide under walls, instead, they climb it.

Be sure to stick with C3 for updates...

One for the kids I reckon, but in saying that I must say Ratatouille is a game I may get under the cover of buying it for someone much younger than myself. That Rat game looks like fun.

What exactly is Acme?. I have always wonderd since my early days.

What's that space knight called also?, I always liked him and how the space duck Daffy and Bugs always got the better of him.

I hope that Elmer Fudd features. Never thought I would see that cock with a Gun, I like the way he talks in his cartoons and fools everyone into doing what he wants and still gets burned. There was once a fine Looney Tunes game a long while back I can faintly recall.

I do love these classic cartoons, That reminds me, I hope they release Chip and Dale NES on the VC, I used to love that platformer. [LS]

ACME is the company that makes all the weird, wonderful and dodgy as hell inventions you see in Looney Toon carttons (I think Wil. E. Coyote has shares in them).

The alien with a roman helmet is Marvin the Martian. You can instantly make anything cool, even an N-Gage by putting a MTM transfer on it.

Lol, that's what I thought, I remember those anvils always had ACME engraved on them. Looney Tunes always seemed cooler than Disney efforts which were starting to age badly by then.

Not a fan of Disney anymore, that real Walt Disney ethos has long gone from the company, it is only now concerned with making profit and not producing the same calibre of the true classics like Dumbo, Bambi, Pinnochio and a few others. The Art in those films is amazing. [LS]

ACME - Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education - honest 'tis true .. Smilie

BUT

A Company that Makes Everything (aka the Looney Tunes one normally associated with Roadrunner) - is probably what you meant .. Smilie

Yeah it looks like a kids game, i would deffinetly by this if i was 10 years younger!!! I love Taz thrrrrrppppp!!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Acne Arsenal?

Personally, and I'm not ashamed to say it, I've found the past Looney Tunes games to actually be some of the most enjoyable 3D platformers I've ever played. Especially Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf:
-----ADVERTISEMENT-----

I'd recommend it to anyone with a PC really. It's a combination of maybe a tiiiiny bit of platforming, puzzles and stealth. You, as Wile E. Coyote's cousin (Or something like that...), must sneak around stealing sheep, with a big burly Dog trying to stop you. There's even a sheep costume in one level so you can be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Awesome.

A Bugs Bunny game on the PS1 was also pretty good, one where you travel through time, though I can't remember what it was called. Not the one with Taz, I haven't played that one...

Anyway, as for this game... Looks pretty good. Not sure what they're talking about with the shadows though, I don't see any...

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society
