Not to be overlooked

The Examiner includes Mushroom Men in a list of 5 games not to overlook this holiday season.

In a similar vein, GamerTell encourages people to not let either the Wii or DS version of Mushroom Men slip under the radar.

Word has hit the streets that Mushroom Men for the Wii and DS have been delayed a few weeks. Shack news reported that along with some pretty new screencaps and Matt Piersall’s audio developer diary.

Personally, I like Marco Halili’s take on it at Kombo.com:

…it will give multi-console owners like myself ample time to plow through some bigger releases like LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2.

That’s an excellent point!

Chelsea Thompson at Ripten raved about Matt’s description of the audio in Mushroom Men. It sounds like the audio reached into her brain when she had a hands-on session with the game but didn’t immediately register as something out of the ordinary. Matt always says that the best audio goes unnoticed. Bad audio sticks out and jars the players ears while the absence of audio leaves a gap that most people register subconsciously without necessarily understanding why. But good audio simply fills that niche in the player’s mind and makes the entire experience more complete. From Chelsea’s description, the latter holds true for Mushroom Men.

Wiifanboy needs to check their calendar. Technically, we’re still shipping in the fall. ;)
I refer back to Kombo’s post: Use the spare time we’re giving you to get through Fallout 3 and Fable 2. Then, you’ll be ready for a brand-new experience on the Wii when Mushroom Men hits the shelves. You won’t be disappointed.

DSFanboy talks about the matching delay for the DS version, as well.

Now this is awesome. Kudos on the sweet Halloween costume. We love it!

They sound a bit skeptical, but we’re sure once Chris, Jinny and Ross at the Weekly Geek Podcast get their hands on Mushroom Men, they’ll enjoy it. They talk about Mushroom Men (focusing on the metronome and music) at about the 22 minute mark.

DS Fanboy posted their final glimpse at the weapons that can be built in Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi.
