PD Design Studio has revealed a brand new Wii U eShop game called Dusty Raging Fist, which is based in the same universe as a lesser known game named Dusty Revenge.

It's a sidescrolling beat 'em up that features co-op elements, such as team resurrection and team up moves (think Streets of Rage). PD Design Studio's Keng Jin opens up a bit in an interview with Nintendo Life about developing for the Wii U, stating, "In terms of development, we don’t see a huge difference," but that the GamePad requires "new thoughts" to take into consideration and that it makes the process "exciting."

For once, it's nice to see a developer comment on the GamePad calm and collectively, and not treating it like a major Earth-shattering design block. If all goes well, Dusty Raging Fist will launch later this year.
