Californian developers Left Field Productions are working on an action card game for WiiWare called Battle Poker. In the past, Left Field have been responsible for Wii games such as:

• Nitrobike
• Dave Mirra BMX Challenge

James Higgins, CEO at LFP commented:

"Battles are played across multiple rounds with points scored for each round based on the quality of the hand. Each player uses a Wiimote to point and click on a deck of cards laid across the screen. The first click flips the card over at which point it can be grabbed by anyone else. You've got to have fast fingers and eyes if you're to grab the cards you need before someone else snatches them from you".

Development is in its final stages so the game should be on WiiWare early on. Some screenshots are already up on the game's page.
