At Nintendo’s developer roundtable this evening, Ubisoft announced a new game for Wii U by the name ofKiller Freaks From Outer Space, currently scheduled for 2012. I know what you’re thinking based on the name, but it actually seems potentially cool, at least in terms of subject matter.

Earth has been invaded by flesh-eating freaks, so it’s up to you to stop them, obviously. Nick was at the event, and describedKiller Freaksas looking dark visually but having a silly vibe — like a PG-13 horror movie that almost goes too far.
