The fate of UFO Interactive's North American release of Kiki Kai World (now known as Heavenly Guardian) is up in the air. We aren't sure if it's coming out on Wii, or PS2, or anything. But UFO's other Starfish-developed 2D game, Monkey King: The Legend Begins, is still on the way -- this trailer says this month, but Amazon says April 15th.
We're continuing to be optimistic about this game, both in terms of its quality and the likelihood of its release, because we so desperately want to believe that it's possible to release an original 2D sidescrolling shooter in 2008, and that it's possible to subsequently enjoy that shooter. It's easy to be optimistic when the game is as pretty as this one is.
