Dead Mage is developing “Shadow Blade: Reload” for several platforms, including Wii U. The action-platformer will be released this summer on the eShop.

Originally a mobile game, this new “Reload” version offers new features. The game itself has players taking on the role of Kuro who seeks the teachings of the last remaining ninja master so that he can become the Shadow Blade. Shadow Blade is packed with 60 levels (with “Hardcore” and “Master Class” difficulty modes for each one), a PvP Race mode, and a level editor.

Neon Deity Games’ randomized shoot ’em up Shütshimi is coming to Wii U. Choice Provisions announced that the company will be publishing the title on Nintendo’s console and other platforms.

Read up on a brief overview of Choice Provisions below. You’ll also find an announcement trailer attached.

Shütshimi is a randomized shoot ’em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems defending the seven seas.

Armed with your trusty bullet-morphing shotgun, defeat or navigate through waves of enemies and collect powerups as you battle your way through each of the game’s bosses. But there’s a catch (there’s always a catch): you’ve been cursed with an incredibly short attention span. Combat waves and upgrade cycles only last 10 seconds a piece, so you’d better act fast!
