[Random Thoughts] Talking about a few of last week’s Nintendo-related announcements
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Features, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
There were quite a few announcements last week, and a number of them were Nintendo-specific. I figured I’d take a few moments to recap some of the news in the latest “Random Thoughts” video. Although it’s not anything special, I hope you’ll enjoy it in any case!
XenoHorizon developing Arrow Time U for the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Indie developer XenoHorizon has announced its first title “Arrow Time U” for the Wii U eShop. The game, which will launch later this year, is a puzzle/maze experience in which players guide a blue arrow through various levels.
Arrow Time U will offer the following features:
Forty hand-crafted levels for quick fun you can pick up at any time.
Replay any level you’ve unlocked at any time and aim to beat your high score!
Move through any object and render yourself invincible with the “phase through” ability–but use it wisely, because your power is limited!
Slow down time with the “time alter” ability.
Take down bosses without even attacking them.
Use advanced techniques like the lateral shift, speed boost, and phase timing to exploit the game’s mechanics to their fullest!
We’re told that an Indiegogo campaign will likely be created for Arrow Time U. When it goes live, the goal will be set at about $800 or so.
Screenshots from Arrow Time U can be found above. Note that the images are of development, do not represent the final product, and are subject to change at any time.
