Update: Over – Pokken Tournament currently undergoing emergency maintenance
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Update: Maintenance has now ended. In North America, players will need to download an updated patch to play online. This should presumably fix issues with online worldwide play.
Pokken Tournament is affected by emergency maintenance at the moment. The game’s network services went down a few hours ago, and have not returned since. We’ll update this post when everything is back up and running.

EnjoyUp Games and Pixel Bones Studio are partnering on a new game for the Wii U eShop.

Here’s an overview:
You are a penguin that has woken up in a dark laboratory. How did you get there? Who is behind all of this? You only remember one thing… Red is death… but don’t worry, dying is fun.
Are you ready to die again and again… and again in Run Run and Die?
Features:
– Very easy controls. Simply press a button or use the touch screen.
– 24 wicked levels filled with traps that will put your skills to the test.
– Some levels are a tribute to old gaming consoles.
– Comic book-style illustrations will tell the story between levels.
You’ll find some screenshots of Run Run and Die in the gallery below.
