'Space Station Tycoon' lands on Wii

Nintendo Wii gamers keen to make use of the old grey matter will be pleased to hear Namco are developing Space Station Tycoon for the system.

Planned for a summer release, the game will give players the chance to build their own galactic empire as they customise stations while maximising their income.

The game will include missions such as preventing meteorites from crashing into your space station, protecting your real estate from ruckus causing pirates, preventing ninja starfish from fighting with party pigs and blocking comets from colliding with your space ships.

“Space Station Tycoon utilizes the creative and unique functionality of the Wii by allowing gamers to emerge themselves in a type of tycoon gameplay never before experienced” Makoto Iwai, Executive Vice President and COO of NAMCO BANDAI Games, said. “Its fun loving characters and off-the-wall space station scenarios should have Wii owners scrambling to get their stations thriving.”
