For those who remember Pipe Dream on the NES fondly, Dutch developer Triangle Studios has a WiiWare game just for you.

On July 3 they announced Heron: Steam Machine, which is a "pipe puzzle format" game. Connect the pipes to keep the steam machine going and move on to the next level. Simple concept, hard to master most likely if the game is like any great puzzler. Being a WiiWare game, a release date for the title is unknown as Nintendo usually keeps the release schedule hidden.

WiiWare has been a place for series revivals like Mega Man and Adventure Island, and even though this isn't a true re-imagining of the NES classic, it has the same look to it. And as a nice bonus, there will be four player multiplayer to be had, along with leaderboards.

Hopefully online features will come, but this is game to keep an eye on for those who love games that bring back memories of generations past.
