We wrote about the upcoming Angry Birds Space previously, but Rovio today released a new trailer for the upcoming bird vs. pig game.
The trailer features a demonstration of weightlessness and gravity by NASA astronaut Don Pettit, recorded on board the International Space Station -- something that will be key in the actual game. At the end of the trailer, we also see our first gameplay footage. Angry Birds Space's gameplay will involve launching space-helmeted birds around multiple planets with gravitational fields to get the pigs -- perhaps a more complicated physics than the standard Angry Birds games.
Angry Birds Space launches on iOS and the Mac on March 22.

(View all)Looks fun and it's cool that Rovio is doing something with NASA, unlike the government.
Had to get that in there ;)
But you know, Rovio is a Finnish company not from USA ;)

Presented by Samsung Galaxy note lol. Anything for a buck, eh Rovio?
Yeah....damn business trying to make a profit. What's this world coming to?
I wonder how that would look on a kid's college application when he writes the essay about how he became interested in physics or aerospace engineering.... "I was originally planning a career in creative writing, but I when played Angry Birds: Space and studied NASA's zero gravity YouTube tutorials on sling shot mechanics, I had an epiphany." Of course, I'm laughing to myself right now since I have that dumb Angry Birds song in my head as I'm writing this....:)
