Not long ago we told you about Assault Android Cactus, an action shooter from Australian developer Witch Beam that’s targeting a Q1 2014 release on the Wii U eShop. With a top-down perspective and plenty of twin-stick mayhem potentially on offer, it looks like it could be a stylish slice of fun.

Witch Beam co-founder Sanatana Mishra told Nintendo Life:

“For starters we will definitely be supporting off-screen play and also the use of practically any controller configuration, Wii Remote + Nunchuck as a replacement for Keyboard/Mouse and the twin stick pads. Gamepad specific elements are still a bit TBD as we need to be careful to avoid gimmicky tacked-on gameplay, so I imagine we won’t be talking about them until much closer to the Wii U version’s release.”
