Matt Casamassina is Editor-in-Chief of IGN's GameCube and Wii departments and one of gaming journalism's top 50 journalists. Mark Bozon is one of the newer Wii editors in IGN. Can you add Virtual Console developers to their resumes?

They announced in their October 20 Wii-k in Review podcast that they are currently "in the process of designing their own Virtual Console game." They could not release any further details at the moment, but they promise that their creation would be, and we quote: "wacky, insane, even retarded." They note that they have even gathered a "top-tier" development team to work with.

It must be every gaming journalist's dream: instead of covering the subject, why not be the subject? There will even be a regular IGN feature that will be covering the progress of the development of the game, and Matt and Mark are intent on retailing this game on the Wii VC for cheap. Cheap, meaning something like "300, 400, or 500 Wii points" or whatever the final name of the Wii currency will be.

GoNintendo kindly extracted three-and-a-half minutes of podcast audio from the October 20 Wii-k in Review which talks about the Casamassina/Bozon video game project. We're making the extract available for download, so you can hear all about this wacky idea that these IGN editors have. Or maybe not so wacky. They could even pull a sleeper hit off, for all we know.

Yeah, I listened to this the other day when they released the podcast. I love all the IGN Podcasts like Gamescoop and Their "Podocast sheeries".

I can't wait to see what kind of game they're making. And like he said, they know what gamers want because they ARE gamers.

Heck, as long as it isn't Sneak King 2, I'm sure it will be great.
