Is the Wii Ready to Meet the Robinsons?

Announced last May, Disney’s new movie is (surprise, surprise) having its own video game. Based on the upcoming CGI animation of the same title, Meet the Robinsons is coming for the Wii, Nintendo DS, PS2, and GameBoy Advance, and the developers, Buena Vista Games, are scheduling a 2007 release.

In this game, you play as Wilbur Robinson and help him track down the diabolic Bowler Hat Guy through different timelines to foil his evil plans. As with any time-travelling story, it is important to go through the past without altering the future, and Wilbur has a set of nifty gadgets to help him out. What’s also good about this game is that it goes beyond the movie – to be more specific, it weaves in and out of it. Some parts of it are taken from the movie, while some other parts let you discover the rest of the Robinson world! There’s even mini-games that you could collect throughout the game as “virtual discs” that you can play.

Now, Disney games are a dime a dozen, and we’ve seen a lot of them in our lifetime. But see, those games never had the Wiimote to back them up. Here in the Wii version of Meet the Robinsons, we have a time-travelling, action adventure, that we can really (literally) plow through. And hey! We got you some new screenshots and art to show you!
