Majesco officially announces Tumiki Fighters as Blast Works

We had just about forgotten about the Gamefly-supplied rumor of a Wii port of Tumiki Fighters, and now we have confirmation from Majesco! They'll be releasing an upgraded port of Kenta Cho's freeware shooter, with the new title Blast Works, in the first quarter of next year-- in Europe. No US date has been announced.

Not only will the game feature the same awesome mechanic the original had (grabbing parts from exploded enemies to upgrade your ship) but it'll include weapon, propulsion, armor, ship, enemy, and level editors. Grab the freeware version and give it a try, then join us in hoping for a US release-- it beats online petitions, at least.

It looks like those plastic bits I used to play with when I was little...neat.

Great, except Gunroar and Mu-Cade and rRootage are all much more fun than Tumiki Fighters. Yay for Aba games, though.

Is Kenta Cho going to be making money from this? If not, I won't pay a penny for it.

I'm not complaining ( being Dutch ), but why Europe first? This doesn't even LOOK like FIFA.
