Square Enix has partnered with Mediatonic (creators of Amateur Surgeon) to release a new game called Heavenstrike Rivals, that we already reported on previously. This game, designed by both companies with a single player campaign and multiplayer competition in mind, has just released a teaser video for those of us that don’t yet have access to the game; they’re currently in the middle of a soft launch with the global release scheduled for later this month.
One of the top selling SEGA Genesis games from 1994 was a football game called Mutant League Football. This new version has already been nominated for the Most Promising IP category in this years Game Connection America 2015 Development awards. In other words it is looking pretty damn good.
A new MOBA is soft launching on iOS today but when the game breaks from that soft launch and is released on a global scale, it will also be coming to Android. Currently being developed by Critical Bacon Games, this new game is called Jurojin: Immortal Ninja and is apparently more of a fast-paced MOBA title.
Noodlecake Games has announced what their next release will be and it is a game called Buzz Killem. For those of you not familiar with this game, Buzz Killem is an arcade platformer which features retro-style graphics in a pretty face-paced game.
You may or may not have heard of NetEase. If you haven’t, this is the company that managed to bring World of Warcraft and Hearthstone to China. They are a big company in other words and they are about to get even bigger as they have announced that they have opened their first headquarters in the West, being here in the US, and that their initial focus will actually be on mobile platforms.
Marvel has teamed up with DeNA for a new arcade brawler that will be heading to mobile soon. Today both companies have announced that their new game, called Marvel Mighty Heroes, is actually a thing, that it will be heading our way soon, and that they want to show it off now though with a trailer and some screenshots for everyone to check out.
We have reported on Sonic Runners a couple of times already and while we have a pretty good idea about what the game entails now, we have yet to see any of the actual gameplay even though videos regarding the game have been released. However we now finally have a video that shows what we can expect from Sonic Runners in terms of gameplay.
Masters of the mobile retro games, OrangePixel is currently working on a new title called Space Grunts and are releasing development videos showing off the gameplay while it is being built.

The iOS game Shadowmatic is making its way onto Android devices, however there is no release date or window at this time.
So I’ve had this on my chest for a long time, and I think it’s time I unload. I’m not convinced everyone will agree with me, but hear me out. I think Android gaming has problem with the number of games that are offered for free with IAPs, though I *suspect* iOS does as well (See here). And I want to say this at the outset: I don’t hate all IAPs. Paying a set amount once to unlock full content (gaming or otherwise) is just fine me with, as is a running subscription (Netflix, MLB At Bat, etc). My objection comes from how many games are attempting to monetize by applying scammy IAPs, and it’s out of control.
