Kenji Eno Revived on WiiWare

After a decade hiatus, Kenji Eno returned to the gaming scene with newtonica for iPhone. But that was apparently just a teaser. The real Kenji Eno surfaced today with a new WiiWare game.

Titled "Kimi to Boku to Rittai," this latest WiiWare download hit the Japanese service today at 1,000 Wii Points. The game is published by Nintendo and developed by Eno's company fyto ("From Yellow to Orange").

The name translates, roughly (very roughly), to "You, Me, and Shape." Presented with a stack of cubes, your goal is to position human-like characters called "ninge" onto the cubes. This is tough because the cubes respond to weight, and tilt in one direction if the Ninge balance is off.

You control the action exclusively with the Wiimote. To add Ninge to the world, you shake the Wiimote up and down. Pointing and pressing A tosses a Ninge to your desired location. You can toss two in at a time.

This is all probably best understood by viewing the videos at the game's official site.

There's no word yet on Kimi to Boku to Rittai's chances for a release outside of Japan, but given the simple concept and the fact that Nintendo is serving as publisher, we wouldn't be too surprised if it did come our way.

And with any luck, Eno will follow up with another D or Enemy Zero game.
