Over The Moon brought The Fall to Wii U two years ago. The second part of the trilogy, Unbound, is now confirmed for launch on Wii U in Q1 2017.

According to Nintendo Life, The Fall Part 2: Unbound begins right from the conclusion of the first game. There will once again be Metroidvania-style exploration, with ARID needing to meet and control different robot bodies that have unique personalities and quirks.

Here’s a teaser:

Over The Moon is hoping to bring in new players by discounting the first game. Expect a discount of 80-90 percent sometime this month.

In Spain (specifically Tarragona, Catalonia), Nintendo has opened a new logistics center. Between 50 and 100 employees will be employed here, depending on how much workload is involved.

One of the big responsibilities of the logistics center is naturally to distribute systems in Europe. In addition to that though, a post-production line will be used so that firmware can be updated before shipments reach consumers.
