Kiki Kai World PS2 version canceled, Wii build still a go - Image 1 The announcement of upcoming video game Kiki Kai World from developer Starfish SD and publisher UFO Interactive definitely generated a lot of of excitement among fans of the classic Pocky and Rocky. Kiki Kai World, for the uninitiated, is being considered as the "spiritual successor" of the SNES scrolling shooter.

Starfish Producer and Senior Project Controller Chong Ahn, in an interview, divulged that the Playstation 2 version of the game will no longer be released. The official wouldn't explain why the project was canceled but reiterated that the Wii version will push through early next year.

Aside from minor changes in the story and the addition of new attributes, Chong Ahn said that Kiki Kai World is very similar in essence to its predecessor. She mentioned:


Anyone who is a fan of the original Kiki Kai Kai/Pocky and Rocky series will be immediately familiar with the play style and feel of this title. We have the same development team that worked on the original version working hard at this title and they know the feel/style better than anyone else.


The producer continued and said that the game will be utilizing Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing capabilities. When asked whether the game will have co-op multiplayer mode and if it will use other online features such as WiiConnect24, Chong Ahn said that the developers "do not want to venture there unless they have something really fun and unique" to offer.
