PS2 Wasp game?

Hi I'm looking for the name of a game that was going to be released on the PS2. I read about it about 2 years ago possibly in the Official PS2 magazine (it was a canned games article). All I know is that you took the role of a wasp and flew around a house. Strange game but I enjoyed weird dreams (amiga) :icon_bigg I'll carry on searching if I find any screens I'll post them.

 

Are you sure it isn't Mr. Mosquito...which was released?

 

I think your correct! My first question and it's a duff :redface: At least I know what the game is. I better find that magazine :shrug:

 

Actually, i think you're right. As far as i can remember, it was supposed to be brought over here early in the ps2's cycle, but was then canceled. Then Eidos decided to try the American market with a couple of Japanese games, which they called the "Fresh Games" line. There were 4 of them, Mr. Mosqueto, R-Type Final, Mad Mestro, and Legia (I don't think i spelled that last one right). They were budget titles, $20, and they were a limited printing. Unfortunately they sold like crap, and Eidos decided not to bring any more over. Some of these titles are considered rare in some parts of the country, in others, you can buy them for $7 new. So, yeah, i think you're right. I think it was canceled then brought over anyway.

 

you are also forgetting the sole fresh game for gamecube which was a golf game like hotshots

 

heres that pesky game!

 

Sounds like an earlier PS1 game called Barnabee that got canned.

 

So, Mr.Mosquito was released in america, then? Never knew that. I need to find it now, to complete my collection of japanese/bizarre/old-school ps2 games.ray:

 

i was dissapointed 2 never came out here, had the us release of the first one, the voices were a bit odd to say the least, but not a horrible translation, doesn anyone know if its easy to play the 2nd one if you really dont know japanese?

 

It also got a review courtesy of cartoon network. I remember seeing it all ove rthe place, then buying it, then getting pissed off at it.

 

I never heard of Barnabee. What developer was developing this? (Smart Dog?)

 

Mr. Mosquito is pretty tough to find. Mad Maestro, however, was released at the same time and for some reason either got a second printing or is just becoming much less wanted - all the gamestores in my area have at least 3 copies of Mad Maestro each.

R-Type Final was printed much later than Legend of Legia, Mr. Mosquito, and Mad Maestro - it came out in fall of 2004, I think. You can still find copies used for $14 or so, but it seems like one of those games that could slowly become VERY hard to find. But there's no reason why everyone shouldn't have a copy of it by now, anyways. If you don't have one, then change that, pronto.
