Warner Bros. Interactive has announced the return of Looney Tunes: ACME Arsenal for the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii in fall 2007. The game features seven playable characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Gossamer and a “special secret character.”

The game emphasizes cooperative gameplay, with fast-paced combat, puzzle solving and vehicle-based action. Locations in the game include places like Camelot, Ancient Egypt, Mars, the Wild West, World War II, and more. The Xbox 360 version will feature real-time physics and Xbox Live cooperative play, while the Wii version will of course feature “gesture controls” using the Wii Remote.

“Looney Tunes: ACME Arsenal is updating the classic characters in engaging ways that will appeal to new generations of fans as well as the loyal fans of these enormously popular cartoons,” said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

He continued: “The game captures the great irreverence of the Looney Tunes’ humor and allows players to take the characters where they have never gone before with next-generation gameplay and graphics.”

I have to admit those first GameBoy Looney Tunes were my favorites and I kind of stopped playing after the SNES series with Taz. But it sounds like it’ll be a good idea to check out the inevitable Xbox 360 demo.
