Gamecock has released a short documentary about how Les Claypool’s music is upping the ante on the play experience in Mushroom Men. Matt Piersall of Gl33k explains it all.

Join in the chatter!

It’s a forum, so expect the usual trolls and whatnot, but Mushroom Men fans should make themselves heard on this Gamespot thread.

GameTrailers’ forum mentions the Nintendo Voice Chat PODCast which in turn features a little bit about Mushroom Men.

Mushroom Men minimal press on IGN? Daemon says they’ve been giving it a lot of press, Craig says they’re limited as to what they can do - Will have an exclusive hands-on on Wednesday.

Check out the sweet trailer we put together for E3!

Report from abroad

August 1, 2008

Report from abroad, originally uploaded by Red Fly Studio.

Producer Chad Barron just returned from a two-week press junket across Europe. He reported the good news to the entire team.

The team listens intently.

Sorry there’s been no pictures of the team hard at work, lately. It’s actually kinda boring to watch. The outcome is exciting. And you’ll see more and more of the results of our hard work over the coming weeks.

But the press keeps coming in from E3 and other previews. Ophelea at GamersInfo.net wrote up a superb preview describing her experience in the Mushroom Men world.

Canada’s largest urban weekly paper Straight lists Mushroom Men among the games they’re looking forward to on the Wii.

At E3 last week, the Zentendo staff saw Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars for the Wii. See what they have to say about it.

News hit the wire today about all the little bells and whistles that are rewarded to those of you who pre-order Mushroom Men for the Wii and DS.

Character design and concept art are two areas in which Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars excels, and the free gifts for those who preorder the game use both extensively.
Those who reserve a copy at Gamestop will be able to claim the “life-size” statuette, as well as a pack of eleven Mushroom Men trading cards (a twelfth comes with the game itself) featuring the title’s diverse range of enemies.

A further eleven cards will be offered to those who preorder Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi on the DS, as well as a superb Les Claypool/Mushroom Men poster.

Lynxara at OMG Nintendo likes Mushroom Men. My favorite quote in this article listing their top 11 games for the Nintendo consoles shown at E3 this year:

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars brings a real sense of wonder back into platforming in much the same way Super Mario Galaxy did, by bothering to construct a world worth exploring and a character who’s fun to explore it with.
