WiiWare’s launch on the Nintendo Wii (where else) is but a few weeks away, and that news is not lost on Incredible Technologies. Being the country’s largest developer of coin-operated video games, it is also jumping onto the home console phenomenon by finishing up Target Toss Pro: BAGS which will make an appearance on the Wii through WiiWare, and this is also the company’s first WiiWare title. What does BAGS require the gamer to do? The answer is pretty simple - players are required to toss beanbags into a hole in a raised “box” in order to accumulate points. Talk about being simple and yet extremely competitive, since campus quads, tailgate parties, and summer barbecues, often resonate with the unmistakable “thud” of bags landing, making it a universal party soundtrack.

Incredible Technologies is working with console veteran n-Space in order to bring the party experience indoors. With the help of the now famous Wiimote, you will be able to enjoy the natural feel of the actual game, including color commentary, dynamic presentation, and dramatic upsets without having to slug it outdoors where you are left vulnerable and at the mercy of mosquitoes as well as other nasty bugs that make an appearance when dusk falls. There will be a new control mechanism as well as play modes for the home player. BAGS boast 16 player support, and you can choose from BAGS arcade scoring and traditional “cornhole” scoring options.

Development of this game ought to be completed at the beginning of this summer – hopefully there won’t be any delays involved.
