Go pick up a copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for Wii at your local retailer!

We can finally reveal: Thor!

Ever since Ghostbusters: The Videogame and Cook or Be Cooked shipped we’ve been hard at work on other projects that were very hush-hush. We were only recently allowed to mention Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. And today it was finally announced that Red Fly Studio is creating the Wii and PSP versions of Thor.

Fortunately, as with our work on Ghostbusters: The Videogame and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, we’ve been given far more latitude than many developers have had in the past when working on a Wii version of a title. We aren’t limited to down-porting the next-gen title and adding a little waggle. We’re building it from the ground up, using the core of the story (which isn’t limited by any hardware constraints) but building the experience specifically for the Wii.

1Up broke the news.

Radio silence ends

It’s been a while since anything has been posted to this blog, an unfortunate side effect when working on a project as awesome as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for the Wii!

That’s right, we’ve been hard at work on this title for the past year, and only now can we mention it in any way. So let me take this moment to point you to Gamespot, where E3 buzz over the game has elevated our game to position 2, just behind the next Legend of Zelda.

More news will follow, but for now, you can get all the info available at the Official Website.

May the Force Be With You.

It’s a special bonus to us as game developers to see a child’s imagination sparked by our work. Here are some carefully crafted re-enactments of various scenes in Mushroom Men from one of our biggest fans.

Another review for Ghostbusters

Though the game has been out for a while, people are still discovering how much fun Ghostbusters for the Wii is. Coffee With Games gives a pretty thorough review of his experience with the game.

This guy knows how to play Ghostbusters on the Wii

Jack Rossi of JRR Design put his creative juices to work constructing a most impressive Wii accessory.

“That is very Ghostbusters. Tee-hee!”

Everyone who tries Ghostbusters for the Wii enjoys their experience. They’re still writing about it even now.

Sorry it’s been so quiet here…

There hasn’t been much to report from the Red Fly world lately. None of our current projects have been announced to the public, so we can’t share much about what we’re doing day-to-day.
But here’s a well-written review of Cook or Be Cooked from Stars and Stripes. Author Brian Bowers makes an interesting point I’d never considered before:

“It’s a dangerous thing, playing a cooking game alongside your wife. Strong play on your part guarantees increased expectations on your real-life kitchen aptitude.”

Stacks of new desks

We’re filling them as quickly as we can install them. It’s a good thing we planned ahead when we chose the spot for our studio. We’ll need every square foot of real estate at this rate!

Fan mail is good for the soul

It’s always a delight to hear from people who enjoyed our games.

Dear Red Fly Studio team,

I usually don’t write this kind of e-mail, so I kinda don’t know how to put this – I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed playing your two “Mushroom Men” games. I was fascinated by the great character design since I first saw preview pictures on the net. When I recently found out the game had been released for Nintendo’s Wii console in spring, I went straight to the store and got it… and I loved every minute!

What a fantastic world you have created there. It’s been quite a while since I couldn’t let go of a game until I had finished it (mind you, I’m in my 30s and probably not your ‘core’ target group), but there was just so much to discover. With its detailed graphics, the fantastic tracks by Les Claypool, this game literally screams “labor of love” at the player.

Immediately after I had finished the Wii game, I bought the DS prequel, just to spend a little more time in the world of the “Mushroom Men”.

From what I have read on the internet, the two “Mushroom Men” games have received a lot of flack from the press, so I just thought I let you know how much I enjoyed these titles. Thank you very much for making them – I really hope I will get a chance to experience more “Mushroom” adventures on my Wii or the DS in the not-to-distant future.

Greetings from Munich,
J Z
