The remake of the acclaimed 2005 metroidvania side-scrolling action-adventure game, La-Mulana, just got a brand new trailer. The development of the archeology themed game looks to be moving right along towards its anticipated 2010 release. Nigoro, the games creator is working with Nicalis, the upstart indie publisher responsible for the recent Cave Story port, to bring La-Mulana to Nintendo WiiWare.
Let me just first start by saying two words “Ninja Robots.” Do I really need to say anything else about Plain Sight? Beatnik Games is on the home stretch of development of the title, with a release that was scheduled for yesterday. Unfortunately its release has been moved back two weeks for “unforseen circumstances” (read ninja assassin) The title will be initially released for the PC and then make its way onto PSN and Nintendo WiiWare. Below is a list of features and a gameplay trailer set to some snazzy jazz music. The video is a little slow, so give it some buffering time.
Key Features:
- 13 Multiplayer maps
- Battle up to 20 players
- 5 self-destructive gameplay modes:
- Deathmatch
- Ninja! Ninja! Ninja! Robozilla! – mini ninjas unite to bring the gargantuan Robozilla down to size!
- Lighten Up – Detonate on a target area with as much energy as possible, the best detonation wins the points for that round.
- Team Deathmatch / Weakest Clink – Play a standard Team Deathmatch or up the stakes by having a communal score bank.

- Level the playing field with in-game power-ups
- Spend your experience points on 30 different robot upgrades
- Perfect your skills in offline practice mode
- Ships with dedicated server software
The much anticipated WiiWare exclusive Cave Story has finally been released. The beautiful 2d side scrolling action adventure features tons of new content and artwork over its original 2004 PC release. But don’t fret, fans of the orginal, Daisuke Amaya(Pixel) has been very involved in the update contributing updated artwork to all of the major characters and more.
Cave Story is available exclusively on Nintendo WiiWare for 1200 “Wii” Points which is ((2499/2000)*1200) apparently $15. Unless of course, you purchased your Wii Points from Amazon for 20% off.
Bit.Trip: Runner Video: I think I just had a nerdgasm.
March 5th, 2010 | by GeoffSGaijin Games’ latest addition to the Bit.Trip series, Runner, has a new video out and it looks amazing. The game appears to be a 2D side scrolling platformer with a rhythm element tied to its, super awesome, music. I get the sense that the game perpetually moves forward much in the way Canabalt does and that your main objective is navigating the obstacles. My favorite part, hands down, is the background art; however, my least favorite part is that it’s a WiiWare game. Unfortunately, with Mega Man 10 and now this looking so delicious, I have no choice but to hook the little white box back up.
