Do you like popping the bubbles on bubble wrap? Then Bandai Namco Games has the game for you! The company announced today Ouchide Mugen Puti Puti, an original Wii Ware title about popping bubble wrap.
Set for Japanese release in Spring, the 800 Wii Point title is actually based around Bandai's popular Mugen Puti Puti toy. To see why that device has sold over 1.7 million units, check out this streaming video. Warning: extreme Japanese insanity!
The Wii Ware adaption of the toy uses the Wiimote's sound and rumble features to recreate the feel of actually popping bubbles. Unlike the toy, the videogame is able to replicate the feel of popping more than one bubble at a time.
We're not exactly sure what you do aside from just popping bubbles, but there seems to be quite a bit of gameplay packed in. Bandai Namco is working on 40 unique stages along with a mind test mode which checks your stress level. Two player competitive play is also planned.
This definitely sounds like one of those games that gets released in Japan and never makes it past the outgoing immigration room at Narita. But, then again, seeing as how this is a Wiiware release, perhaps Bandai Namco would be willing to let international audiences sample some of this wackiness.
