New WiiWare Game Discovered

Number one sign that WiiWare is starting to take off: games seem to appear out of nowhere!

That's just what happened in Japan today as Cable Entertainment shared details on a launch event for an upcoming WiiWare game that we'd previously never heard of.

The title in question is Play With Kappa: Kappa and Forest Friends, a digital picture book featuring a young boy named Kappa who longs to be human. The title includes narration by talent Ryoko Tsunoda and simple quizzes to test if the kids have been listening.

While we're just now hearing about it, Kappa will hit the Japanese WiiWare service on the 9th at a somewhat odd price point of 600 WiiPoints. If we feel like playing with Kappa and his forest friends on that day, we'll let you know what we think. If not, enjoy these screenshots!
