Distractionware's upcoming game VVVVVV debuted a colorful gameplay trailer a few days ago, showcasing the game's swell zero gravity mechanics and simple design. I don't know much about VVVVVV other than there are some 140+ rooms to solve, but I really love the quirky enemy designs and am looking forward to playing it in a few weeks!
Wow, looks awesome! Also looks like the kind of sanity crushing game I would love to watch someone *else* play (such as you).

What's that show where the Japanese guy sits in a room and plays all the way through retro videogames until he finishes them? Anyway, we should do THAT. Except with beer, and in Matterhorn.

Looks like they're trying to bring a subtitled version to the states:

Will buy. But yes, we should host our own version of this, with beer, in Matterhorn, and video conferenced in with Japan.

This looks great, thanks for posting the video!
It would be nice to play this on the DS.
I should go and look for little homebrew things.. maybe find another "N+" on the way
