It's not uncommon for Nintendo to host a separate, more intimate roundtable event after its main press conference on the Tuesday of each E3 show, but it's definitely rare for the company to then hold a second one. That's what happened tonight, as the Big N brought a select set of journalists back into a closed-door meeting room to give one specific third-party publishing partner the chance to share its Wii U plans -- and, perhaps appropriately for Wii "U," the partner turned out to be Ubisoft.
The France-based studio most well known for major brands like Assassin's Creed, Rayman and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon threw it support behind Nintendo's next system by announcing a new game already exclusively in development for Wii U. It's called "Killer Freaks from Outer Space," and Ubi's describing it as a half-horror, half-comedy first-person shooter.
Here's the company's own summary of the insanity we're about to witness:
In 2012, the world is going down the drain, fast...
Reams of alien ships have crashed into our planet, and these big wads of diseased, planet-eating, phlegm are spawning hordes of insanely vicious killers! The dangerous and degenerate creatures from outer space we call FREAKS seek to eradicate the human species with single-minded fury.
You're a survivor; a winner -- humanity's only freaking hope! Those raunchy aliens missed their chance to put you and your buddies down. And now you're going to make them regret it -- one slimy alien body-part at a time!
Immerse yourself in this psychotic, arcade-style, 4-player co-op shooter; and just try and keep your head...
