DIG DUG (Wii) is a cancelled prototype game developed by Red Fly Studio. Reasons why it was cancelled are unknown but very apparent, As the game has very obvious glitches and unfinished elements that can be seen during the seven minutes of gameplay that was shown.
Gameplay[]
The Wii Prototype has much more different gameplay then previous games in the series. Taizo can move around freely and can jump (making this game and the Mr.Driller series the only games where Taizo can jump). The objective is to dig underneath towers and a Huge Fygar and sink them into the ground. Pooka and Fygar return as the main enemies. A new Hazard was added in which is a Treasure Chest which is the only known way to get power-ups in the Prototype. Power-ups how ever cannot be described main because they were poorly showcased in the trailer.
Upon touching an enemy the screen will flash text saying "You die!", but the player does not die or get killed.
Reception[]
Despite not getting a release the prototype saw a fairly positive reception with people hoping to see a release, unfortunately that would never come to be.
