SteamWorld Heist – Scrappers details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Image & Form put up a new blog post about SteamWorld Heist today. In the latest update, we learn more about the robot faction Scrappers. This enemy type was previously shown in screenshots and latest trailer.
Here’s the full breakdown on Scrappers straight from Image & Form:
The Scrappers are the scourge of The Outer Rim of inhabitable space. They’re nasty, vicious and menacing – but not the sharpest tools in the shed. What they lack in brains they make up for in sheer numbers and pure insanity. The root of their disturbing behaviour is unknown; so is the reason of their rapid expansion.
Fresh reports have them plunder the goods and killing the passengers of countless spaceships and space stations. Though not confirmed, there are reasons to believe they also steal entire ships. But even worse are the rumors of them partaking in the horrible practice of collecting the body parts of their victims. Whatever their goal, one thing is certain: Someone has to stop the Scrappers before it’s too late.
The Scrappers come in different shapes and sizes. Each with varying abilities and a unique look. Check out three of the Scrapper types below:
The Rippers of the Scrapper faction of steambots. The Choppers are like relatively smart and dangerous. For being Scrappers, that is. The Crushers are some of the most vicious Scrappers around. Watch out!
The Rippers are mostly harmless but pose a threat in great numbers. More dangerous are the Choppers, since they’re slightly smarter and able to handle more potent weaponry. Out of the three the Crushers are the ones you should really watch out for. They take a lot of hits and deal the most damage.If you compare the Scrappers in the portraits to the ones in the screenshot above you see they all have somewhat different looks to them. They are randomly generated, so it’s not likely to meet exact look-alikes twice in a row. This is not just to please the eye. It also plays an important part in the story. Exactly how will be revealed in the finished game.

High Strangeness hitting the Wii U eShop on May 6
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Thanks to a partnership with Midnight City, Barnyard Intelligence’s indie game High Strangeness is hitting the Wii U eShop next month. A release is scheduled for May 6.
High Strangeness was originally funded on Kickstarter in 2009. The title is a 12-bit adventure (mix of 8 and 16-bit) that takes inspiration from the likes of Zelda.
Players will take on the role of Boyd, who travels between two worlds with his feline friend to solve a mystery. Switching between the 8 and 16-bit worlds will surely play into High Strangeness’ various puzzles.
Check out the trailer for High Strangeness below.

We’re still waiting on the Wii U version of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, but Oddworld Inhabitants and Just Add Water have once again said that it’s in the pipeline.
That comment was prompted by an announcement made earlier today. Specifically, it’s been revealed that a remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus is in development, though it’s unclear if a Wii U version is in the works.

Choice Provisions may bring Tharsis to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Choice Provisions already has plans to bring the Dragon Fantasy games and Shutshimi to Wii U. The company’s support may not be stopping there, however.
In an interview with Nintendo Life, associate producer Dant Rambo mentioned that Choice Provisions has interest in releasing the PC strategy game Tharsis on the eShop.
Rambo said:
We’re currently hard at work on games called Tharsis and Laserlife. The former is a perma-death, turn-based strategy game about the first manned mission to Mars; the latter is a music game where players are tasked with restoring the memories of a dead astronaut. Both are significant departures from our previous work and we’re really excited about them!
In fact, we’ve been talking a lot about bringing Tharsis to the Wii U! Stay tuned for more info about that.
