Wii U eShop

Indie developer Wind-up Giants is working on a new Unity-based project for the Wii U eShop titled “The Big Shuffle”.

The Big Shuffle is a horde game with support for up to four players. It takes place in a futuristic city where a rogue robot has turned the rest of his friendly machines against the humans.

Players take on the role of one of four classes as they attempt to protect the city in a special task force. The classes include The Striker, The Engineer, The Sniper, and The Captain.

Wind-up Giants began creating The Big Shuffle towards the end of July. Keep track of the studio’s Tumblr here for future updates.

DK: King of Swing has received a Wii U rating over on the ESRB. You know what that means: it’s probably coming soon to the Virtual Console. This week, perhaps?

A rating for Mario Kart: Super Circuit was discovered on the ESRB last week, and it ended up launching on the North American Wii U Virtual Console a day later. It’d hardly be shocking if something similar happened with DK: King of Swing.
