Where do failed Xbox games go? The Wii, of course! In development at ZOINK Games and SnapDragon Games is KORE, an original platforming game that was originally in development for the Xbox under the name The Kore Gang. The game’s developer went out of business, so ZOINK partnered with SnapDragon to bring the game to the Wii following a redesign, which saw many new features added, plus a visual overhaul.

The game has players taking control of Pixie, Madboy and Rex as they explore a magical world to fight the Krank brothers who are trying to attack the centre of Earth. These characters are inside a robotic suit that enhances their abilities.

“KORE stands out not only for its rich gameplay experience and signature art style, but also for its wacky scenario and sense of humour,” said Klaus Lyngeled, Creative Director at Zoink. “During the last years, a vast amount of work has gone into the design as well as into the story and cinematics, and I am sure the audience will appreciate the way we poured our heartblood into it.”

No release date has been announced, seeing as how Zoink is still looking for a publisher for the title.
