Petit Depotto’s tower defense and apartment sim “Unholy Heights” is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop. A release is planned for this year.

Here’s an overview of the game’s PC version:

It’s inevitable that rumors of an apartment building full of monsters would eventually reach the ears of the no-good humans. Would-be heroes, bloodthirsty pirates, cunning thieves and conniving mages all have their sights on The Devil’s gold! Knock on doors and call your residents to your side! They want a war? We’ll give ‘em a war!

As a side note, Playism has localized the PC release of Unholy Heights. That bodes well for the 3DS version coming over eventually.

Bear Box Media has confirmed its new indie title for the Wii U eShop, “Internal Invasion”. The 2D physics platformer is currently being made with Construct 2.

Bear Box Media’s Andy Ford provided us with the following overview of Internal Invasion:

Regarding Internal Invasion, it is a 2D physics based platformer where players control a character through an organism with the goal to locate the cause of a virus and put a stop to it. Players do not have full control over the character, however, and must launch him from cannon to cannon, keeping in mind that he can only survive outside of these devices for mere seconds. To assist them, players can collect pills that will give them the ability to steer the character’s path.

To get the best score on each level (of which there are 50) players must not only use the fewest number of cannon launches, but must also beat the game’s ‘par’ time for each level.

When you boot up Yoshi’s New Island for the first time, you’ll be presented with the screen above. Players are asked if they’re willing to share gameplay data that will be used “to help develop games in the future.” Interesting.

What’s sent to Nintendo is unclear. It’s also unclear how often data is uploaded, but information will eventually reach the company online.
