NewsUpcoming Games

Coming Tonight: ‘Mushihimesama Bug Panic’, ‘SplatterHouse’, ‘Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner’, ‘Kill Timmy’, ‘UFC Undisputed 2010’ and More

It’s Wednesday morning here in the good ol’ US of A which means one thing… (Well, it could mean lots of things but this is TouchArcade and generally speaking only one big thing happens around this time every week.) …New Zealanders just had a bunch of new games pop up on the App Store that were scheduled for an 11/18 release date. These games will slowly filter out to the rest of the world as today becomes tomorrow in your neck of the woods. For us Americans, that means 11:00 PM EST on the nose.

Mushihimesama Bug Panic, $3.99 – [Forum Thread] – The latest from Cave. Aside from having a title I’ll likely never correctly pronounce in my entire life, Mushihimesama Bug Panic is a dual stick bomb tossing game of sorts. Check out the extensive hands-on gameplay video above.

SplatterHouse, $2.99 – [Forum Thread] – I still have fond memories of the original SplatterHouse, and hopefully Namco doesn’t destroy those memories with a mediocre port of this awesomely gory arcade side scroller. It’s coming with two game modes, classic arcade and a splatter rush mode where you fight off waves of enemies to compete on Game Center leaderboards.

Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner, $4.99 – [Forum Thread] – This augmented reality game utilizes the camera of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and 4th generation iPod touch to allow you to shoot down various imperial fighters in your surroundings. 20 levels in all are included, along with Retina Display and Game Center support.

Kill Timmy, 99¢ – [Forum Thread] – From the creators of Trundle, a free physics game that was strikingly similar to the WiiWare title Night Sky, comes Kill Timmy. In the game, you play as the grim reaper and use an array of in-game tools to solve physics puzzles that end in, well, killing Timmy. I like physics games in general and had a good time with Trundle, so this seems worth a look.

UFC Undisputed 2010, $6.99 – [Forum Thread] – During my travels in New York City I became aware of just how serious some people take UFC, and if you’re a hardcore fan who loves some blood-spattered man on man action, this might be the game for you. It’s universal and it has a gesture system for you to draw various squiggles on screen to escape from the clutches of your opponent. If it were only that easy in real life.

Trucks and Skulls HD, $1.99 – [Forum Thread] – If you like physics games, monster trucks, and explosions, this seems to be the game for you. Currently it only seems that the HD iPad version is up on the App Store, but the description mentions an iPhone version of the game which could appear soon. Either way, the iPad version of the game features a level editor that I can’t wait to mess around in.

In addition to all these games, Undead Attack! Pinball [$2.99 / Lite] is coming to the iPad as Undead Attack! Pinball HD [$2.99]. And last, but not least, X2 Snowboarding [$2.99] is coming to the iPad as well as X2 Snowboarding HD [$5.99].
