Choice Provisions bringing Shütshimi to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Neon Deity Games’ randomized shoot ’em up Shütshimi is coming to Wii U. Choice Provisions announced that the company will be publishing the title on Nintendo’s console and other platforms.
Read up on a brief overview of Choice Provisions below. You’ll also find an announcement trailer attached.
Shütshimi is a randomized shoot ’em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems defending the seven seas.
Armed with your trusty bullet-morphing shotgun, defeat or navigate through waves of enemies and collect powerups as you battle your way through each of the game’s bosses. But there’s a catch (there’s always a catch): you’ve been cursed with an incredibly short attention span. Combat waves and upgrade cycles only last 10 seconds a piece, so you’d better act fast!
