Yet another downloadable title ditches the WiiWare platform for the (apparently) cozier confines of the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network. This time it's High Voltages crazy-looking top-down shooter, Animales de la Muerte.
Originally announced as a WiiWare exclusive, the game will be hitting PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade for realsies in... okay, the the developer isn't saying just yet. But High Voltage isn't messing around anymore, and have shown the game to IGN, who said the developer "has enough going on here to make for a memorable experience."
Caveat: apparently the game is still "very much a work in progress," and "the game's graphics won't blow you away" despite running on a new engine to take advantage of the new platforms. If you recall, the game was first announced in 2008, making it the Duke Nukem Forever of downloadable games featuring zombie walruses.
Still, we're talking about zombie walruses here. That's worth the wait, right?

Well, at least there's still the Nintendo Channel. That wizard gag doesn't get old...
Vaporware: making gamers not believe a fucking word that developers say until the game is in stores since 1982.
I don't know if this game is ever going to come out though
First theirs Conduit 2 and Conduit 3DS which will be given top priority
then there's the Grinder Wii and PSN/XBLA versions which are still far from finished, and that will be given higher priority than this aswell. I don't see How High Voltage is going to make the time to finish this game when they're a little studio working on 4 other titles
Looks nice and colourful though.
They considered a full disc release for Wii, but decided against it. So the game fell into limbo even before The Grinder. They said that they were still doing things with it when they had spare time, but like The Grinder it didn't have a definite future.
HVS is an awesome company, I have a ton of respect for them.
