Quick blurb at Wii Fanboy about Mushroom Men’s HUD
August 13, 2008
I like how Wiifanboy describes Mushroom Men’s almost absolute lack of any on-screen HUD elements. It’s something we decided very early on in production. Since Mushroom Men occurs in such a fantastic world, we didn’t want to cover it up with health bars and weapon icons and status messages. We love it when people notice and appreciate the little details.
And thanks Yaktastic (see comments on the linked page) for further support as to how Mushroom Men is only barely fictional.
Nintendo’s casual-centric E3 showing this year caught some flak from hard-core gamers. Stephen Munn at Aeropause counters by explaining that there are at least twelve titles for the hard-core gamers out there to look forward to on the Wii. Included: Mushroom Men and Ghostbusters.
