    The Wii U game will be available at launch on Wii U eShop, while the 3DS eShop remake of the 3DS cart release, is due out sometime later this month. It will include CPP support as well as new levels and features.

    So what's the full line-up of WiiU eShop launch titles? Do we know this yet?

    This also looks conspicuously similar to Super Stardust.

    Gameplay Video

    Coming from digital artist Martin Sauter...

    "Due to the close relationship with Nintendo, Shin'en was able to get an early devkit for the WiiU. The plan was to make a game for the console launch. The biggest challenge for this project was the limited development time, as the team needed to port the engine, explore the new capabilities of the hardware, plus add features to make the game an overall better experience. It was smart to use the existing Nano Assault IP, as the game itself was well received by the press, so we could build on mechanics and assets that worked. Additionally we took the opportunity to enhance the game in every aspect, based on input from critics and fans. Visually it was a challenge to use the new CPU and GPU power to push the look to an even crisper and vibrant microscopic world."
