The Day the Wii U Eshop Will Blow Up

October 16. Doomsday for the Wii U eshop.

Ok, not really. In fact, it going to be an insane day for the eshop. 6 big titles, that I know of, are coming out on the eshop. This is crazy! Who has money for all those games?! I know I don't!

Still I can't help being very excited for the 16th. The Wii U doesn't have games eh? Check out these 6 titles!

Paper Monsters Recut (by @MobotStudios):  A very cute and fun looking platformer. Paper Monsters reminds me of Sony's LittleBigPlanet, expect the graphics are paperish instead of sackish. There looks to be a ton of variety to the game, lots jumping sure but also vehicles, jetpacks, and cool Monsters. Looks good!

Ballpoint Universe (by @Arachnid_Games): Sidescoller shooter? Platformer? What is this game?! Its BOTH. Ballpoint combines genres plus has a very unique graphical style (ballpoint doodles!).  Its a very crazy looking game. I love how it looks. Very interested in hearing more about this one!

Ping Plus 1.5 (by @Kurisuellegarde): A pongish puzzle game with over 100+ levels. I don't know a ton about this game but it looks and sounds like a major time killer. Could get lost with all the big games out on the 16th! I hope not!

Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut (@curvestudios): A 2D Survival Horror game! Just in time for Halloween. This game looks very, very, very good. Like an old style Adventure game meets survival horror with 2D side scrolling. I think this game will be extremly popular on the 16th!

TWO GBA Castlevania games; Konami is also bringing out these two Castlevania games on the 16th. Sure to sell well. The games are known for their Metroid style exploration and rpg elements. Lots of people love them. For good reason, these are fun! Castlevania UPDATE: Only one of the games coming on the 16th. The second one, Aria of Sorrow is now coming on the 23rd.

UPDATE: Shortly after I wrote this article, another game was announced for the 16th.

Chests O' Booty (@WildmaneStudios): A unique take on the puzzle game genre. Described as  " A game where you perform simple arithmetic to reduce the weight of your illegally acquired goods" on Nintendo's website. Chests has heavy competition on the 16th! Still, who doesn't love puzzle games?! 1.99 is a good price too.

And thats it...I..think. There may be some other games too. Gulp.

Your pocket money is doomed.
