Q-Games and Nintendo made a DSi tower defense game!?

Darting to Club Nintendo this morning after the reveal of that super sweet Luigi sculpture (which still isn’t on the site) I noticed Nintendo was offering a humble little game called Starship Defense at a discount. I somehow missed this on DSiWare back in 2010 but it’s a quaint, stark looking tower defense game published by Nintendo and developed by Pixeljunk proprietor, Q-Games.

How did I miss this!? Oh, it was on DSiWare, that’s probably how. Anyone out there played it by chance? I’m intrigued but still pretty cool on tower defense games.

South Park on XBLA: It’s Tower Defense, with no Boring Parts!

I don’t know if I’ll end up buying South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! when it hits Xbox Live Arcade in October but I’m excited right now about the prospect of tower defense with “no boring parts” as the video above details. Having free control over one of the characters to both manage your towers and lay down the pain with button mashing attacks seems promising, although maybe not all that big a step forward for tower defense. I also haven’t seen South Park in probably a decade so a lot of the humor, characters, and situations are bound to be lost on me but I’m definitely going to grab the trial on Day One. Anyone else?
