Bruiser and Scratch finally hits WiiWare in December

We first heard about Bruiser & Scratch, the WiiWare puzzle game designed by the ex-Naughty Dog staff at Steel Penny Games a long time ago, before there was a WiiWare. The company sent out a press release today announcing that they plan to release the game in December.

Bruiser & Scratch is a matching puzzle game in which players shove items around on a chessboard in order to match pairs of identical items, which then form a single piece. And that's about all we know. The developers talk about the game a bit in their interview with WiiWare World, but even now we barely know anything about even the basics of the game. Which is kind of exciting.

Wii Ware gets some naughty dogs

Naughty Dog itself isn't developing for the Wii, but two of its former developers are. Ex-dogs Jason Hughes and Andrew Gilmour formed a company called Steel Penny Games last year, which will be making a game for Wii Ware.

The company has been spending the past year creating an engine for the Wii platform. Steel Penny's first game for the Wii will be a new IP designed for Wii Ware, one that they hope will turn into a series of multiple games. The game, called Bruiser and Scratch in the Case of the Puzzling Paw, will be a puzzle adventure title with fantasy elements and characters.

Hughes said that he was "impressed with the egalitarian approach Nintendo has taken toward Wii Ware developers," and thinks that Wii Ware is a good way for developers to get a foothold in the industry.

A format that's good for fledgling developers? That's certainly something we can get behind.
