While browsing through the upcoming eShop releases, I found The Swindle on the list with a release date of September 10th.

The Swindle was created by Size Five Games and is being published by Curve Digital for the Nintendo Wii U.

The Swindle is a steampunk cybercrime caper about breaking into buildings, hacking their systems, stealing all their cash, and quickly running away again before the police show up.

All the buildings you’ll be robbing are randomly-generated, so you’ll never get the same level twice.

Meanwhile, from the safety of your rickety airship up in Outer Space, you can modify your thief with new skills, tools, and all manner of advanced technological horrors, allowing you to take on bigger buildings with better security, for gargantuan rewards!

Have you got what it takes to pull off The Swindle?

Here’s our video review of Super Mario Maker by Nintendo for the Nintendo Wii U.

New gameplay difficulty options include Normal, Hard, and Demented. We’ve added a manual save system (adopted from Dementium II). Enemies no longer respawn; a dead zombie stays dead! A lot of time and attention has been spent on increasing texture resolution, adding specular, detail, and normal maps to enemies and environments. Cut-scenes have all been re-rendered using new remastered enemy/environment art (not autostereoscopic 3D, though, to save on ROM size)

During a recent interview, the developer of The Deer God mentioned looking to bring The Deer God to the Wii U as their next target platform.

Can you share some of your plans for the future?

We plan on bringing the Deer God to the Wii U next – we’ve got our dev kit and we’re excited about trying Nintendo – especially since I’ve been a big NES fan growing up, this will be like living the dream!
