I was perhaps too young to fully appreciate classic platformers like Mega Man during their heyday; I certainly played and enjoyed them, but that was a time when I didn’t have the coordination to excel (or even succeed) at them.

The player controls the eponymous Explodemon, the unstable robot creation of Dr. Light Dr. Nitrous, afflicted in such a way as to spontaneously explode at regular intervals.

There was never any reason to believe otherwise, but to give you an idea of how long I’ve been waiting to hear more about this title from Curve Studios, well it was slightly before I’d heard of ‘Splosion Man, and over two writing gigs ago according to this long lost post.

At long last Curve says we can expect a PSN release before the end of 2010, whilst still boasting that their 2.5D action will return SNES flavored sensations within the agenda of self-destruction – so fingers crossed kids!

Catch some fresh art from the game after the break.
