Swap Fire, a new first-person shooter for Wii U, is coming to the Wii U eShop very soon. The North American date is now locked in for November 17.

Here’s an overview:

“Swap Fire’s a shooter with a literal twist. Shooting other players rips a hole in spacetime thus swapping your locations. You’ll have to commit to losing in order to win in Drop Zone, manage spacetime to dominate the map in Control Point, master the art of teleportation to go for the gold in Swoccer, and much more!

The year is 2139. Retro Quantum Industries (RQI) has invented the next wave of transportation. Forget autonomous vehicles, these scientists invented teleportation! Unfortunately, even 2139’s technologically advanced citizens are terrified to have their bodies teleported through time and space. After spending billions of dollars on R + D, the company cannot afford commercial failure.

The solution is Swap Fire! A high stakes game show, featuring teenage contestants utilizing RQI’s teleportation technology. Sales and usage of consumer grade personal teleporters spiked after the first season of Swap Fire, in which Justin Agitprop was crowned as the Swap Fire Valedictorian. Now, it’s time for season two. The fans are eager and the executives at RQI are more so!”

Swap Fire will cost $14.99 on the Wii U eShop.

We originally heard about Bizerta: Silent Evil last February. While there hasn’t been much news to report as of late, development is still progressing smoothly. In fact, Edrox Interactive is still doing its best to have the game out on the Wii U eShop later this year, according to a message written to fans on Facebook.

Also mentioned is the possibility of a Switch version. If that were to happen, those who purchased the game on Wii U would be entitled to a free copy on Nintendo’s new console.

Another couple of Wii games are due out on the North American Wii U eShop this week. Nintendo’s website is listing Rhythm Heaven Fever as well as Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles for release tomorrow.

Below is an overview of Rhythm Heaven Fever:

“Perfect your rhythm with over 50 minigames and remixes in this quirky, charming rhythm game. Catchy music and crazy scenarios will teach players to feel the beat. It’s easy to learn, tough to master…but aim for accurate performances, as players will be rewarded with medals and bonus content!”

And a brief description of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles:

“Swarms of undead creatures and mutated terrors rule the streets, pestilent hordes born of Umbrella’s botched biowarfare research. Gather your firepower, choose various routes and pathways, and prepare to face the horror as you uncover the dark truth that could take Umbrella down forever.”

Both of these games will cost $19.99 each.

If you get past these lessons, you will surely learn the basics of the Japanese language!”
