I remember Y2K!


Back at the end of 1999, some people were worried that computers would stop working at the start of 2000 because of something called the Y2K virus. It never happened. And now you never hear anyone talk about this non-event anymore.

Developer @AckkStudios has an upcoming game called Y2K. Its a 3D modern day RPG and will be coming to the Wii U. I have no idea how Y2K fits into the story but man. Look at this story! 

Here's how the official website describes the story:

" When an erratically behaving elevator claims the life of a young woman, unemployed recent college graduate Alex Eggleston takes to a primitive 1990s message-board to find answers about the death of this stranger. His quest for answers leads to more questions as his research points him to a mysterious van the internet has dubbed the "Death Cab". This vehicular oddity roams the game's city and countryside. Who is driving it? And despite the death toll surrounding the vehicle, why does no one seem to recognize its threat? "

Isn't that such a crazy story?! Oh man. I really dig it. Plus....

The game looks SO VERY GOOD. The graphics and gameplay remind me of Earthbound, expect (of course) with much better graphics.

Here's a screenshot:

Wow. This game looks perfect for Wii U. I'm very excited for it!

Btw, the same developer has another game called Two Brothers coming that looks pretty awesome too! I will try to do a blog entry on that game soon.
