[Weekly Screenshot] Affordable Space Adventures #1 – Loading screen hint: Do not touch anything valuable.
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Weekly Screenshot, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
It’s been a few months since we last highlighted a game as part of our “Weekly Screenshot” feature. But there’s long been an indie title on my mind that I thought would be a perfect fit for the idea: Affordable Space Adventures. Now that its development is coming to a close, we’ve teamed up with KnapNok Games to showcase more from Affordable Space Adventures. For the next several weeks, we’ll be sharing exclusive images from the game along with a bit of additional information. If Affordable Space Adventures isn’t already on your radar, hopefully you’ll gain some interest as we introduce new content!
The first photo we’re posting is one of the loading screens that appears between sections in Affordable Space Adventures. It reminds players about the important gameplay mechanic of scanning artifacts to see their range and type of detection before they attempt to attack the spaceship. Loading screens in the game – as well as well as the Wii U digital instructions manual – show a manual written by Uexplore, the company that in the game’s universe offers “Cheap… but functional” spaceships to travel to Spectaculon.
Here’s the official screenshot description from KnapNok:
When exploring around Spectaculon, remember to scan left and right for completely safe alien artifacts. Just don’t disturb them or you’ll be fined. Or shot at.
Another Affordable Space Adventures screenshot will be posted on the site next week!

Azure Striker Gunvolt update 1.2 to take advantage of New 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 2 Comments
During a fan event in Japan yesterday, Inti Creates revealed that a new Azure Striker Gunvolt update is in the works.
Version 1.2 will do a few things. First, New 3DS owners will be able to change weapons on the fly with the ZL/ZR buttons, and system owners will experience faster loading times. Three new songs will be added as well including Lumen’s new song “Sakura Efflorescence”.
Azure Striker Gunvolt’s 1.2 update will release on March 11 in Japan – and possibly North America as well.

Takashi Iizuka says he has no plans to stop making Sonic games for consoles
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 19 Comments
There’s been a lot of talk over the past few weeks about SEGA’s shift in development. The company now intends to focus on PC and mobile as opposed to traditional gaming systems. However, that doesn’t mean SEGA is stopping console development entirely – especially when it comes to Sonic.
Japanese outlet 4Gamer recently interviewed Takashi Iizuka, head of Sonic Team. In one question, 4Gamer asks if SEGA is transitioning Sonic into a smartphone franchise.
Iizuka confirms that this isn’t the case. With the recently released Sonic Runners, SEGA simply felt that mobile was the most suitable platform for the game. Iizuka added, “Personally, I don’t plan to stop Sonic for home-video game consoles.”
So there you have it! We should eventually hear about another Sonic game for consoles. Let’s just hope it isn’t as disappointing as Sonic Boom.
Thanks to Mii for the tip.

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!
