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.

When Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 originally came out on the Game Boy Advance, it supported Nintendo’s old e-Reader device. Players could scan e-Cards to add in various content, including levels.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is set to launch on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console next week. Fortunately, it will be possible to access e-Reader levels. It seems that these can be accessed on the data select screen. Of course, the e-Reader device itself is not compatible.

Jay X Townsend and Form Up Studios are bringing Near Earth Objects to the Wii U eShop next month in North America. The shooter is due out on January 14.

Here’s a brief overview:

NEOs, or ‘near earth objects’ are an emergent threat to all life on this planet. Blast off into space and destroy them all to preserve life as we know it back on Earth! Neo-retro arcade style shooting designed to challenge and enthrall. Shoot rocks, get POW. Survive.

Featuring a ’90 Euro/rave-inspired soundtrack, over 120 waves of sadistic space shootables and graphics in tribute (albeit loosely) to old CGA games, this is going to knock your socks off – hope you bought a spare pair.
