The latest installment to the Tycoon simulations, Space Station Tycoon, is coming to the Nintendo Wii. Under development under Wahoo Studios and to be distributed by Namco Bandai Games, the comical space station simulation will introduce a whole new immersion and gameplay experience to Nintendo Wii users.

In an interview by IGN with Ben Cole, producer at Namco Bandai Games, Brent Fox, manager at Wahoo Studios, and Jeremy Throckmorton, designer at Wahoo Studios, revealed that the have been at work on the title for sometime.

Their previous title, Outpost Kaloki X (for the Xbox 360 on Xbox Live Arcade), was a fresh experience for fantasy city building and served as an inspiration for the new tycoon title just for the Wii. The Wiimote is a pointing device just like a mouse, and the title is being built from the ground up to accommodate the Wiimote mechanics for an easier gameplay experience.

The title is to star the player as Shawn, a newbie to the space station management world, who's more inclined to trust others more than he really should. Best part is, the trouble he gets into as a result of his gullible nature, he happily deals with. Aside from the assortment of wacky characters, environments will also include whales that can swallow your entire station. Whoa there, Moby!

The game will be coming with multiplayer support, including those for co-op and multiplayer party mode, but the details for both aren't concrete yet. What they did say is that co-op is available immediately after someone picks up a second Wiimote and patches up your station, too. Online play isn't exactly drawn out in the plans, so party and co-op is the only way to have fun with others.

If you have a nunchuk, the game will be adding an option for you to utilize the nunchuk for gameplay. The game is slated to come out in the summer of 2007, and not through download, folks, but boxed and shelved, like a full regular game.
