Nintendo brought out a new system update for the 3DS last week. This week, Wii U is getting in on the fun. The latest firmware, version 5.4.0, is now available for download.

Sadly, there’s not much to report on in terms of any new features. This one seems to be all about improving stability/the user experience – just like the 3DS upgrade.

As always, you’ll need the latest firmware before you can enter the eShop.

Now that Tic Toc Games has wrapped up development on Adventures of Pip, fans of the game are starting to wonder what the studio might work on next. Two possibilities exist: the studio could either develop something like a sequel to that title, or create something entirely new. Tic Toc Games definitely appears to be open to either option.

When asked by Hardcore Gamer if Tic Toc Games has an idea already planned for a new game, CEO Shereef Morse said:

Oh, we have so many. Honestly we have a lot of IP we want to explore next, and we’ve actually been a little gridlocked here as to what to green-light next, because we’re so focused on getting Pip out. And you know, we have all these great ideas in incubation, but for now we’re 100% Pip. We’re really just making sure that all goes smoothly. But after that, one of the things we talk about is “Is there an evolution to Pip?”, and the next version of Pip, you know. Maybe a sequel? But then we have all these other cool characters we want to bring onto consoles as well, and we really just have to decide what to go after next. But right now we just want to make sure this one’s done right and 100%.

Adventures of Pip just launched on the North American Wii U eShop last Thursday. There are plans to have it arrive in Europe as well, but a date has not been determined just yet.

YouTube user “Callegos-Y” has created a new fan-made Zelda video in Source Filmmaker. It’s all about Link’s journey to secure enough rupees in order to buy a new shield. I’d definitely say it’s worth watching, so check it out below.

It had to be done. I had to share this here. The video put a smile on my face, and hopefully it’ll do the same for you!
