Ubisoft today announced Protothea for WiiWare. The game will be a 3D top-down vertical scrolling shooter controlled with both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Players will use eight air-to-air weapons and two air-to-ground bombs to foil the evil plans of The Core. Ubisoft also promises that the game will have dynamic enemy patterns.

"Ubisoft is excited to bring Protothea exclusively to the platform and we feel it's a must-have WiiWare title," shared James Regan, vice president of third party operations, Ubisoft. "Protothea really reminds me of some of the best arcade games, with the Wii Remote as an added dimension. It's just a flurry of fast-paced action that anyone can simply pick up and enjoy."

Protothea will release this month as Ubisoft's exclusive WiiWare launch window title.
