Highly considering this, anyone grab it? I'm only worried about buying digital because I've had freezing issues so I'm reluctant to buy without further knowledge with my issues.

I do not have it, but I really want this too!

I can tell you that I played the previous game, Nano Assault, for the 3DS and loved it.

I have Trine 2 on 360 and honestly don't like it. It looks fantastic and would generally be my type of game, but I found it too slow paced and boring.

Shin en only does digital downloads, as they are a 5 man dev team. Apparantly every member is a super genius.

Some information on SHin en.

They are Third party, although they only release games under the Shin en label for Nintendo consoles.

They work on optimizing middleware for all three major consoles, to major companies like activision and eidos.
They work on software optimization for some of the most powerful mainframe and super computers in the world for Neon.

They have been making games for over 20 years, yet have only made three game engines, simply named, A, B, and C.

A was made for commador and amiga, and later converted over to a gameboy color engine. B was a gameboy advance engine, notable for iridion I and II, and C is the current engine which they originally made for Nanostray on DS. Yes, this same engine that was used for Nanostray DS

is the one used in fun fun minigolf for wii ware:

and the same engine used in the wii u eshop game Nano assault Neo

Nano assault Neo only uses one core of the wii u cpu, despite having thousands of simultaneously moving objects and characters.

The large majprity of the games assets, including models textures and height maps are proceduraly generated, this means they arent stored in rom, which means the game is only a Hundred Mb download.

They had the game running in full 1080p, but found when sitting on the couch several feet away from the TV the difference in resolution was negligable. They took the extra 200% fillrate required to go from rendering 720p to 1080p and used it on more post op effects of a higher resolution, this was much more noticable to those sitting on the couch.

They effectively make use of Wii u's memory heiarchy, using the 1GB set aside from games as a large cache for the faster memory tiers to read and write from, as such, despite being the best looking game on wii u, with by far the highest resolution textures on all layers, and having to procedurally generate the said assets and textures, the game loads levels instantly 'like playing an snes cart'.

You should absolutely get it if you like twin stick shooters. It reminds me a whole lot of super stardust but it looks so much prettier and has a ton more depth.

Just downloaded this game and I gotta say the graphics look insane! The picture is so crisp. It was kind of hard to get used to at first (didnt know how to shoot my guns lol) but I quickly adapted to the gameplay and I gotta say its really fun. Havent tried 2 player yet but will try tomorrow. The only thing is I get a little dizzy playing this lol.

Where does it advertise online co-op? Everywhere I look it only says Online leaderboards and local multiplayer. I remember reading an interview regarding online multiplayer and the developers said that they wanted the hit detection to be perfect, and possible lag due to internet connection issues would ruin the game for some.
