Swapnote’s Nikki lives! Well, sort of.

WayForward recently issued a new Shantae: Half-Genie Hero update to its Kickstarter backers, showing off the fan-made enemy called “Ikki”. The character, with its design and name, is a clear homage to the 3DS application’s guide.

Nintendo rolled out Swapnote in 2011 as a way for 3DS owners to message their friends. However, it was shut down about two years later. Nintendo said in its announcement that Swapnote had been used by some to “exchange offensive material,” and felt that ending the SpotPass feature would be the best way to remedy the situation.

Tiny Galaxy developer Arcane Pixel is bring its next game known as “Kick Assteroids” to the Wii U eShop very soon.

The game features two modes: Survive and Defend. In the former mode, players need to survive as long as they can against enemies and meteors while aiming for a high score. The other mode puts the emphasis on defending a satellite from enemies and asteroids for as long as possible. As your score increases, you’ll automatically receive ship upgrades, better guns, a faster ship, and more.

For those that are interested, Kick Assteroids will support off-TV play. The title also includes an 8-bit, fast-paced metal soundtrack.

Watch a trailer for Kick Assteroids below. It’ll be out soon on the North American Wii U eShop for $1.99.

Update: Entries are now closed! We’ll announce a winner this weekend, likely alongside our next Patreon update.

It’s been awhile since our last giveaway! I’ve sort of had my hands in about 100 different site-related things over the past few months, so they’ve been put on the back burner slightly. Finally though, we’re back with a giveaway pertaining to a game that just launched on the Wii U eShop: Octodad: Dadliest Catch.

In total, we’ve giving away six codes. We have three codes for North America, and another three for European Wii U owners.

The task is simple: tell us about your favorite unconventional game – given the kooky nature of Octodad – in the comments below. Also, please be sure to specify which region you’re entering for! We’ll let the giveaway run through Tuesday, and we’ll then announce the winners soon after, who will be chosen randomly.

Oh, another important thing. All of our $5+ Patreon members are automatically eligible for this giveaway. No comment is needed for them to enter.

I believe that’s all of the important stuff. Good luck, everyone!
