Imagine our surprise when we wake up to find an English demo of PixelJunk Monsters, of all things, on the Japanese PSN Store. The game is due to release on the US Store this coming Thursday, so this is a perfect opportunity for people to try it out before you buy. Monsters is the second game in the PixelJunk series. The first of which, PixelJunk Racers didn't manage to really inspire us.
PixelJunk Monsters seems to be a nicely designed little Tower Defense style game, with a much more pleasing aesthetic than PixelJunk Racers had (and, we're hoping, much less annoying voices). The kicker? It works via Remote Play. So if you've just woken up and are checking PS3 Fanboy on your phone or via some other wireless device (as we're sure most of you are!), you won't even need to get out of bed to try it.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.

Nintendo has just revealed on their website that PixelJunk Monsters will be coming to the Wii U via the eShop tomorrow.
Wow that is unexpected for such an old, but good game. First time the game has been on a console that wasn't Sony.

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
Played it and approved it. I love Tower Defense this can keep me busy all day... :)
