I really liked other fine Tomorrow Corporation products such as the Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace, so this excites me. The actual gameplay bits you could see in the video though...

Watched a little bit of Freedom Planet gameplay today, and man oh man, am I hyped for that game now. S3&K was one of my first platformers, and that game is giving me everything I need!

KnapNok teased this lovely image in advance of Affordable Space Adventures' upcoming DLC.

Affordable Space Adventures update comes out Nov. 12 in Europe, "soon after" in North America. It's a pretty big update.

- It goes on sale for two weeks.
- Several fixes and updated.
- Origin Story to be tacked on at the end of the story with 5 new levels of "extremely difficult puzzles".

Japanese Direct had 3DS eShop game which looks pretty much like a rip-off of Crayon Physics Deluxe:

And Tiny Thief some sort of stealth-like single-screen puzzle game:

Tiny Thief looks interesting. I like the art style.

Here's a game I Kickstarted last year: "Hollow Knight", a 2D Metroidvania platformer. Coming early 2016.

Choice Provisions continues to support the Wii U. Now they're bringing over Tharsis, a "turn-based, perma-death, realistic space strategy game. With dice. And cannibalism."

Chasing dead is a "First Person Action Shooter" coming to the WiiU from 2020 studios this spring.

Looks dumb.

Evan_B · « **Reply #211 on:** January 05, 2016, 07:35:13 PM »

Dumb, but of a higher quality than most games on the eShop. I'm sure it will be a series of halls and kill rooms much like the technically impressive but rather underwhelming Ironfall: Invasion... but, you know, also be rather underwhelming.

Sign me up!

They all are trying to be the next Onslaught. But Onslaught will just turn to them and say: "That's why you're still a kid!"

ShyGuy · « **Reply #213 on:** February 27, 2016, 12:03:48 PM »

HEY! Are you craving another 3D platformer in the style of Mario? You should pick up Freeze Me, a Mario64/Sunshine/Galaxy style game.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #214 on:** February 27, 2016, 12:08:34 PM »

I bought that and just couldn't get into it. It didn't seem clear about what it wanted you to do a lot of the time.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #215 on:** February 27, 2016, 12:17:08 PM »

It's open world like Skyrim!

Evan_B · « **Reply #216 on:** February 28, 2016, 02:53:14 PM »

Chasing Dead is releasing on the eShop for the absurd price of 30 dollars.

It's a shooter, if you can believe it.

broodwars · « **Reply #217 on:** February 28, 2016, 04:06:13 PM »

I think I'll try Freeze Me once I'm donev with Digimon Cyber Sleuth. I could use a change of pace, and 3D platformers are so rare these days.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #218 on:** February 28, 2016, 05:33:29 PM »

You do have to fight the camera a bit, that's the influence from Super Mario Sunshine. Heyooo!

sudoshuff · « **Reply #219 on:** February 28, 2016, 08:55:56 PM »

Fighting the camera aside, do the rest of the mechanics feel good?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #220 on:** February 28, 2016, 09:02:18 PM »

Pretty good, it's not 3D Mario perfect, but it is fun to move around in the game once you get used to the feel, which is a little fast and loose. You have a double jump, a slide, a wall jump, lift yourself up the ledge, and a side jump.

Super Meat Boy is finally coming to a Nintendo system. The game was included on a Euro third party/indie sizzle reel that wasn't included in the NA Direct

azeke · « **Reply #222 on:** March 03, 2016, 10:20:30 PM »

There was indie lineup clip in European Direct.

One of the games was Pinball Arcade for Wii U.

Usually these games are free to download on eShop with individual pinball tables costing money. Sometimes they throw in some free table for starters.

Check it out when this releases.

Another game that caught my eye was Noitu Love:

^ i heard author is even making wiimote+nunchuck controls for this one (originally it's a PC game which required pointing with mouse)

azeke · « **Reply #223 on:** March 10, 2016, 10:21:11 AM »

New trailer for Rive and sad news that this will be their last game:

Toki Tori 2 was brilliant, but gamers were simply not ready for it's brilliance.

azeke · « **Reply #224 on:** March 14, 2016, 11:12:55 AM »

Apparently Axiom Verge is coming for Wii U later this year...

Hoping this port won't just disappear after getting announced, like it happened with Gone Home.
