Ittle Dew caught my eye, as well as the japanese pop-up book looking game, and the homeless guy game makes me curious haha

Ballpoint Universe Infinite. Was supposed to come out this week but has been delayed 2-3 weeks due to bug fixes.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #7 on:** March 20, 2014, 10:17:35 PM »

Ballpoint wasn't even on my radar and now I am interested.

Ballpoint's art style reminds of Viewtiful Joe's first levels, everything there had also that detailed hand-drawn, papery look.

Also reminds me of that Spongebob episode with an evil doodle

Need Wii U FPS? Need Wii U Horror?

Renegade kid wants to make that happen! Cult County has kicked off a kickstarter for Wii U, the Steam triangle of platforms, PS3, PS4, PSV, and Xbone. That's right, SCREW THE 360 and 3DS stretch goal-ish options are possible This game was originally targeted for the 3DS, but they have moved to more powerful platforms to "not compromise their vision" also, it's a Unity game, which ruled out the 3DS without major hassles.

BONUS: Nintendo World Report Award Winner logo proudly displayed on their kickstarter!

Abyss - $1.99

Stick it to the Man - $9.99

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2014, 05:17:04 PM »

Abyss looks kinda neat. Normally I'd wait for some reviews, but for $2 I figure I'll just bite.

Soren · « **Reply #15 on:** May 01, 2014, 05:55:29 PM »

It looks like an update version of the DSIWare game. It has 8 new levels added from the original 12. Patrick on this site gave the original a 6.5.

I need to get Stick it to the Man

Soren · « **Reply #17 on:** May 16, 2014, 12:17:52 AM »

This week on the eShop.

Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails - $9.99 (eShop exclusive!)

Color Zen - $3.99 (appears to be a console exclusive at the moment, also IOS, Android and Facebook)
Nifty little IOS puzzle games with shapes and...well colors.

Soren · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2014, 12:26:02 AM »

Some more new games on the e-shop.

1001 Spikes - $10.01 (really)

Ittle Dew - $9.99 (console exclusive)

Swords and Soldiers HD - $2.99

Phil · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2014, 09:32:13 AM »

Really excited for Armillo and Shovel Knight. Of course they keep getting delayed! D:
It's okay, though. Good things come to those who wait, and a good game is always bad, but a delayed game is worth two in the bush.

MagicCow64 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2014, 03:23:24 PM »

I bought Scram Kitty, played it for 30 minutes, had no idea what the **** was going on, might not pick it up again.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2014, 12:02:44 AM »

Now that I finished Deus Ex HR:DC:WIIU, I decided to go eshop crazy. Don't worry, still picking up Luigi Kart 8 this week. I put $20 in the eshop slot and pulled out:

Edge by Two Tribes so far a fun little 3D puzzle/time attack game that starts out easy and ramps up. Definitely worth $2 and a fun chip tune sound track

Blok Drop U by RCMADIAX This was the game that looked super plain and ugly at first, but the developer has released updates that polished it up and it's a challenging little 2D physics puzzle. Worth the $2

Swords and Soldiers HD by Two Tribes/Ronimo I never got around to this on the Wii, but it's a simple 2D RTS game, reminds me a bit of Plants VS Zombie with more movement. Pretty easy so far. This one was a whopping $3

Stick it to the Man by Zoink! Now this one was my most anticipated and I am really enjoying it so far. Great abstract cartoon style, tons of voice work, great song on the title screen and fun little adventure platformer so far.

I still need to get Scram Kitty and a few more, but I should be set for a little while.

Stratos · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2014, 11:30:13 AM »

Are there any updates for the HD version of Swords & Soldiers? For $3 I might pick it up even though I own the WiiWare version. Wish more WiiWare devs would bring updates and new releases to the eShop.

I'm excited for S&S2.

Sometimes this summer I plan to dump a chunk of change into the eShop as there are games on both 3DS and WiiU that I want to get.

Soren · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2014, 01:29:21 PM »

Nintendo just released a metric-ton of indie trailers for Wii U and 3DS eShop. Some new trailers for Tengami, Teslagrad (additional launch trailer here, possible release this week?), Cubemen 2, Armillo, Wooden Sen'Sey, Nihilumbra and Pier Solar HD.

And some new games too:
