Default Buck Bumble!
Anyone remember this game?! :P

It was kinda Obscure at the time... But It was Awesome!

A brief description: You were Buck... a Bee... you.. err.. shot evil metal insects around the garden...

The controlls were a bit awkward but the Wii controls would be perfect for a sequel!

Any thoughts?

awesome game.
Highly underrated and overlooked "shooter".
it may contain fog but overall the graphics are really nice and they would benefit nicely from Wii's higher resolution.

but to be honest I really doubt that it will come to VC.
Didn't the devs go out of business a long time ago?

Argonaut began developing games in 1984 on Commodore 64.
Later they made Starfox (SNES), King Arthurs World (SNES) and Vortex (SNES). FX Fighter was cancelled and only came for PC. Creature Shock was a prerendered PC dungeon crawler. Nice graphics, but blah gameplay.

From 1997 on they developed games for bigger franchises like
Croc 1+2 (PS), Alien Resurrection (PS), Harry Potter 1+2 (PS).
Buck Bumble (N64) also was one of their better titles in 1998.

Their latest games were Bionicle (Gamecube), Catwoman (Gamecube).
and Malice (Xbox/PS2) in 2004.

It's not that long ago but it seemed they got financial issues.
No one wanted to distribute their games and eventually they've been sold.

YES! I really loved this game too! It would be great if they carried on the series on Wii or DS.
