Come September 30, you’re going to have a whole lot more to look forward; FAST Racing NEO and the SteamWorld Collection are bringing fast paced fun to the Wii U.
Shin’en Multimedia’s FAST Racing NEO and Image & Form’s SteamWorld Collection are two fantastic games that are making their way to retail for the first time. NEO drops players into a beautiful sci fi world, where you race for the finish in anti-gravity vehicles. With single-player mode, four-player split-screen or eight-player online, pilots speed through dense jungle, futuristic cities, abandoned mines, and to infinity and beyond. When the Nintendo eShop Selects version of this releases on September 30, you’ll have eight new tracks to download off the disc; you may see some of these at Gamescom in August.
The SteamWorld Collection will also be part of the Nintendo eShop Selects lineup for the first time, along with SteamWorld Dig.
You take on the role of Rusty in Steamworld Dig, a mining steam bot, as he arrives at an old mining town that desperately needs him. By digging up riches, you can get awesome upgrades that let you explore new areas, whilst delving ever closer to the ancient horrors that lurk underneath. In SteamWorld Heist, however, you’re in charge of a steam-driven pirate crew, playing out some epic shoot outs in turn based combat. There’s a little bit of action involved, too, as you manually aim your robot’s guns, and can upgrade your recruits with new abilities, weapons, and dashingly stylish hats.
The SteamWorld Collection will also include the SteamWorld Heist add-on, The Outsider, where a mysterious stranger comes to town, bringing new missions, weapons, gear, and, of course, hats. It’ll be available on the eShop for Wii U on September 30, and players can sneak a glimpse of it at Gamescom in August.
