Corrin’s figma has not yet been dated. Max Factory will presumably have it ready sometime in mid to late 2017.

Having previously made Collateral Thinking for Wii U, Astrosaurus Games is now setting its sights on another eShop project. Developer Neil Armstrong told 4colorrebellion that a title involving puzzles known as “Ruff Copy” is in the works. In it, “you play as a disgruntled worker at a dog-cloning factory that is trying to help all of the dogs escape their test chamber prisons with nothing but a laser pointer.”
Armstrong is also considering Mage Boy and Dash Assault for Wii U. The former was created at GBJam and would be adapted for Nintendo’s console while the latter is a party platformer.

SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage has launched in Japan. Like almost every 3DS game, there’s now a relevant Miiverse community for the release.

SEGA 3D Classics Collection made it to North America earlier this year, and Europe last month. This doesn’t confirm localization of the new package, but it does give us some hope.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Headup Games has announced plans to bring Toby: The Secret Mine to Wii U, a puzzle-platformer inspired by Limbo and Badland. Players can expect various puzzles, dangerous and challenging traps and enemies, and “beautifully handcrafted environments.
Here’s a rundown of the game’s premise:
“A peaceful way of life in a small village in the mountains was thrown into disorder. Someone has kidnapped most of it’s residents. A couple of brave hearts tried to rescue their friends but none of them has returned. Little Toby didn’t want to just sit and wait so he decided to find them by himself. He went to the near deep forest but he soon realized this is just a beginning of a big adventure.
Go with Toby on an eerie adventure in a dark and creepy world full of dangerous situations, enemies and challenging puzzles.”
Toby: The Secret Mine will be on the eShop early next year, “some weeks before Nintendo Switch will launch.” We’ve posted a trailer from the original release below.
