Dewy’s Adventure Wii Announced by Konami

Konami announced that Dewy’s Adventuer Wii is in development. The Game ( headed by Shingo Mukaitoge, who produced Elebits) is an action-platformer that fully utilizes the flexibility of the Wii controller. Below, is an Excerpt of the IGN interview about the game

IGN Wii: Can you briefly explain the basic storyline/premise of Dewy’s Adventure?

Mukaitoge: The game takes place in a mythical fairytale world. The majestic Elder Tree towered over the world and brought prosperity to the land. One day, the evil Don Hedron appeared and attempted to cover the world in darkness. The Elder Tree with the help of the fairies fought back against Don Hedron and drove him and his Dark Water from the world. After a long time of peace, Don Hedron and his Dark Water appeared once more and attempted to plunge the world into blackness. The Elder Tree put the rest of his remaining strength into creating Dewy, the only one with the ability to clean up this dirty world.

IGN Wii: What is so special about Dewy? What can the character do?

Mukaitoge: Dewy is the last hope to drive away the evil Don Hedron. He is a droplet of water, and can be heated or cooled to achieve different goals. We don’t want to go in to too much detail about this yet.

IGN Wii: How do you control Dewy using the Wii-mote and nunchuk?

Mukaitoge: While we can’t talk about all of his abilities, we can say that the game is controlled entirely using the Wii controller. You hold it [like Excite Truck] and tilt it to tilt the environment and move Dewy. The D-pad can be used to heat or cool Dewy. When Dewy is heated up, he becomes a cloud of steam. He can then strike enemies with bolts of lightning. You can also move the Wii controller in a fanning motion to create gusts of wind or in a side-to-side motion to create an earthquake. These can be used to solve hidden environmental puzzles and combat enemies. There are lots of more abilities that Dewy has, but we want to keep them secret for now.
