Noitu Love: Devolution, Konjak’s PC game from 2008, will be gracing Nintendo platforms early next year. The developer originally hoped to have the game out on WiiWare, “but that developer relationship went south.” MP2 Games is now handling work on Wii U and 3DS eShop versions.

Here’s a brief overview of the title:

“Play as Xoda Rap as she tries to save the city from the invading Darn army, who had previously been thought to be destroyed forever. But this time, they bring with them strange time-warping technology. WHO IS BEHIND THIS?”

A trailer for Noitu Love: Devolution can be seen below. Look for the game sometime in Q1 2016.

Zero Time Dilemma was announced several months back, but information about the game has only been trickling out slowly. Aksys Games and Spike Chunsoft did share another update today thanks to the release of a new piece of art, pictured above.

The image also comes with the following teaser:

ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE WORLD

It has been more difficult than anticipated to smuggle information out of Dcom regarding the viral Zero Time Dilemma, but we at Crash Keys have finally obtained the most bare bones of details that should prove useful to surviving the coming apocalypse. It is necessary to reveal everything in small doses as to avoid detection, but we can share the first piece now. Stay alert for future communiqués.

Remember, the threat is real.

Hopefully we’ll be getting a more steady stream of Zero Time Dilemma updates in 2016!
