In space, no one will hear you counting your money...

Namco Bandai are bringing Space Station Tycoon to the Wii, where gamers will follow the adventures of Shawn and Tam on an intergalactic journey through Pirate infested space, meteor fields, supernovas, and more dangers as they seek out fame and fortune in the high-stakes world of Space Station management.

Taking the form of a fast paced simulation game focusing on character interaction and humour, gamers will also tackle some light puzzle solving, meet exciting characters, buy new stations to customise, and try to keep an insane collection of clientele satisfied.

The level of customisation is said to be one of the game's high points - allowing gamers to continually expand their empire with an increasing number of islands, customising each one to attract business.

The title also features "physics-based object interaction", which Namco Bandai says will allow players to create gravity points with the Wii controller and interact with objects in the environment. You'll be able to catch asteroids to keep them from smashing your space station, bounce rowdy ships, retrieve tips from visitors and even lob cannonballs at attacking space pirates!

By meeting mission objectives, gamers will see themselves continue to expand their empire in single-player, or players can choose to take part in the included two-player Party Mode or Co-op play.

Namco Bandai have the release date set for this summer. We'll keep our eyes peeled for a firm release date.
