Platform: Wii U

Shuetshimi is a randomized shoot'em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems. Shuetshimi 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! But wait, there's more (information)! Fishy Features: -Endless waves, endless fun! -10 second bursts of shmup action! -5 different, upgradeable weapons to choose from! -Over 30 upgrades to collect! Combine upgrades with different weapons for interesting combinations! -Hats! Over 30 of them! Some hats unlock hidden "Hattributes" which modify gameplay even further! -You can smoke underwater!? -Leaderboards! Compete with friends and foes for the top score! -Local Co-op! Work together or screw each other over when competing for the top score (NOTE: Vita version will not contain local co-op) -There's also a remarkable number of cats! Shutshimi is unlike any other shoot 'em up on the market. For starters, you play as a gun-toting, "swole" goldfish. And then there's the fact that enemy waves only last ten seconds each. Get it?* *Its because goldfish have long been rumored to have a short memory-span. It isnt true, but we took creative liberties.

Player battle it out with a sword and gun, as they summon reinforcements to help them in battle. Player's will also have to contend with random events that occur throughout each battle, pitting computer-controlled space pirates against the players, and these NPC pirates can also win the battle for themselves. Stardust Vanguards is a local four-player battler, where players take the role of military commanders in high-speed combat robots, engaging in heated, high-precision multiplayer dueling. Carefully hone your skills against your enemies as you slice 'em up, shoot 'em down, and even reflect incoming bullets with your attacks. Each battle becomes deceptively strategic as each player earns and summons their own personal NPC army to help them win each battle. The centerpiece of the game's combat is its reinforcement system. As you survive and kill off enemies, you'll earn RP (reinforcement points), which can be used to summon reinforcements into battle. The more RP you have, the bigger and badder your allies will be when you call them into battle. You can fight alongside these NPC reinforcements or hang back while they do the heavy lifting for you. The game also includes a random event system which keeps each fight unique as computer-controlled space pirates sweep in to win the battle for themselves in dozens of predetermined assault scenarios. Will you briefly cooperate with your friends or will you use the chaos to your own advantage? Stardust Vanguards brings high-speed mecha action to fans of couch multiplayer!
