The newly-acquired publisher Gamecock has released a new batch of screenshots for Red Fly's Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars (Wii), a 3D platformer featuring fungal protagonists. This time, there's a not-so-hidden reference to famed Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto.

Releasing on November 11, The Spore Wars will be accompanied by a DS prequel, Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi, which also has new screenshots.

Update: The 'Miyamoto' shown in the screenshot is in fact not in reference to Shigeru Miyamoto but rather legendary Japanese warrior Miyamoto Musashi. Thanks to AxeMan808 for the tip.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a reference to Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest Katana wielder ever to stalk his prey through the Japanese countryside. Notice the samurai fighting a fish on the pic.
