Padaone Games, developer of Roving Rogue, has confirmed plans to bring Zombeer to Wii U.

Zombeer is a first-person shooter. It’s said to be “unapologetically irreverent homage to everything kick-ass about zombie movies and drinking beer.”

Continue on below for a lengthy overview and trailer. As of now, Zombeer doesn’t have a firm release date on Wii U.

With new narrative content from writers at Comedy Central, Zombeer is packed with humorous reference to classic zombie flicks of the past and, of course, a healthy supply of ammo and beer.

In the near (and some might say lucky) future, there is a pandemic as a result of a virus that transforms the world’s population into zombies. That’s not the lucky part – it’s this: Once bitten by a zombie, the only way to stave off the infection is drinking beer!

Playing as the hero “K,” a survivor inflicted with the zombie virus and a wicked perpetual hangover, players must make their way through the zombie apocalypse managing a balance of sobriety and carnage to find his girlfriend Karen and get out before it’s too late!

Key Features

• Enhanced For Your (PC) Pleasure: The updated and enhanced version of Zombeer has been optimized to maximize PC players experience. Refined controls, interactivity and improved weapons are just some of the additionsl made to ensure a visceral good time.

• More Jokes For That Tasty Funny Bone: Zombeer brings the funny with new story content from writers at Comedy Central

• New Tunes To Tease The Braaaiinnn!: Zombeer includes an update soundtrack with new music for Red Bull Record’s own Five Knives and more! All perfectly suited to jam to while raising hell in the zombie apocalypse.

• Headshots are the very best: Players can now score headshots off zombies with bloody satisfying results. Remember to always double tap and don’t be stingy with the bullets.

• Chug, Chug, Chug: Find the perfect balance of sobriety and carnage as players must chug Zombeer to prevent turning into one themselves , but be careful, too much of that stuff will make you hurl, limiting your mobility.

Update: Bumped to the top. More comments from Nyamyam’s Twitter account:

During a post-mortem talk at this year’s Develop conference, Nyamyam shared sales data for its debut game Tengami.

Tengami managed to move 11,000 copies on Wii U. While that’s hardly comparable to the game’s iOS sales of 196,000 units, it’s similar to the performance on PC/Mac.

Nyamyam co-founder Jennifer Schneidereit also said:

“A lot of developers ask me about the Wii U, whether it’s a good platform for independent developers. To be honest, I don’t know if it’s a good platform for independent developers, but I don’t regret releasing on the Wii U. We decided we’re going to do a Wii U version, I worked under the assumption it would sell 10,000 copies – it sold a little bit more by now, so that’s okay. Speaking to other independent developers, there seems to be a consensus that the average indie game on the eShop has sold 10,000 copies in its lifetime – we’ve sold 11,000 now, and I think there’s more room to grow. I think our lifetime sales will be closer to 20,000 in the end.”
