Shin’en has opened the official Art of Balance Wii U site, accessible here. It features screenshots to view and general information about the game. More content will be added to the site in the months ahead.

Shin’en has confirmed Art of Balance as its next game for the Wii U eShop. It’ll come with all levels found in the original release, as well as the following features:

  • Off-TV play, as well as multiple control schemes supporting analogue, touch screen and Wii Remote options.
  • Multiple online and local multiplayer modes that incorporate either competitive or co-operative play. Up to five players can take part in the various modes at once — one on GamePad, four on Wii Remotes — while up to 10 people can play across two Wii U systems in online matches.
  • Online Leaderboards are included.
  • HD visuals that incorporate all new graphics, designs and locations.
  • More accurate physics that are processed at 240 frames-per-second (on 3DS the equivalent was often 30 frames-per-second.

Expect to see Art of Balance out on the Wii U eShop sometime in Q2 – so before the end of June.

FAST Racing Neo

Shin’en announced FAST Racing Neo towards the end of last year, but we never received any concrete details about the game. So when can fans expect actual information?

According to Shin’en, details will be shared after the studio unveils its second new Wii U title. Based on a previous tease, that should be happening soon.

Shin’en has prepared an update for Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai, and it’s out now in both North America and Europe.

The patch is more than just a means to address bugs. Shin’en has sped up character movement, improved the game’s controls, and reduced the impact upon taking damage.

Shin’en tweeted the update news earlier today:

Chances are that you won’t be seeing DLC in any of Shin’en’s games. That’s because, as the company said on Twitter recently, the team doesn’t “plan for DLC”. Instead, Shin’en prefers to “release a 100% complete game for a fair price.”

Shin’en’s comments in full are as follows:

Shin’en is busy working on FAST Racing Neo for the Wii U eShop. Additionally, the studio has a second new project that will be announced in the very near future.

Art director Martin Sauter said on his website that the mysterious game “should get revealed in the next few weeks”. No further information was provided.

Sauter also left the following tease about FAST Racing Neo:

I can’t post too many information at the moment, but I can cconfirm, that this will not be a simple port or remake of the Wii version. It will be a standalone, full new product and we try it to create the most exciting eShop game in 2014.
