The Song of Seven has managed to reach its funding goal over on Kickstarter. There was barely any time remaining in the project’s campaign, but donations surpassed the $8,000 mark a short while ago.

All Kickstarter funds will be used in the creation of The Song of Seven’s first chapter. Enlightened Games is planning several chapters, each of which “is meant to be the video game version of a short story, a quick, enjoyable digital romp that can be played in a dedicated day or a lazy weekend.” Combined together, “the chapters assemble a narrative that roams across a world of distinct cultures and intriguing lore with a story that can be enjoyed and appreciated by all ages.”

You can find a trailer for The Song of Seven below. We’ve also included a brief overview. Plenty of additional details are on the Kickstarter page here.

The Song of Seven spans an entire world and tells a story of forgotten celestial siblings, isolated villages, seafaring pirates, ghosts, monsters, leaders, artists, mystics, lovers, dancers, inventors, and the power of connections. Its game play hearkens back to old school point and click, inventory-based adventure/puzzle games but uses third person analog controls for a more updated, immersive feeling.

The Song of Seven: Chapter 1 is targeted for February 2016 on Wii U.

Fullblast is coming to Wii U, a listing from PEGI reveals. EnjoyUp Games will be handling publishing duties.

UFO Crash Games originally made Fullblast for mobile devices and Ouya. The shoot ’em up title features 12 random levels, 3 bosses, power-ups and power-downs, and a heavy metal soundtrack. Achievements and leaderboards were included in the initial release, and we’re hoping they’ll make it to the Wii U version as well.

Watch a trailer for Fullblast below.

Another round of details have been translated from the Xenoblade Chronicles X. We get to learn more about battles, including the Overclock Gear feature. You’ll find the full set of information below.

– Battle flow is dependent on the order and timing of arts usage as well as your relative position
– Combo attacks are arts with descriptions like “Increases damage if used following a Melee Art” or “Increases damage if used following a Ranged Art”
– This makes it possible to achieve greater effects than normal through combinations
– Link arts together skillfully to increase the damage you do to enemies
– Certain arts inflict the “Break” status effect on enemies
– Use an art with the “Topple” effect while enemies are suffering from “Break” to prevent them from moving for a short time
– Your attacks will never miss when this happens
– Additionally, all damage is increased by 1.5 times while they’re suffering from Topple
– There are also arts that inflict more damage while an enemy is Toppled
– If you don’t Break them first, enemies will not Topple
– Attack an enemy from behind, above, or below to increase your accuracy and critical hit rates
– Some arts have special effects when used from the side or back
– Can target different parts of an enemy
– By destroying a part, an enemy will be unable to use it to attack
– Earn extra rewards after battle by destroying parts
– Get the “Overclock Gear” after progressing through the story to a certain point
– This technique is powerful, but it drains 3000 TP to give you massively improved battle capabilities for a short time
– When enabled, your arts’ Recast time is drastically reduced
– Overclock Gear has “Triple Recasts”, which allow your arts to charge up for a third time
– TP you’ve accumulated carries over between fights
– Gear Counter: Changes color depending on the arts used
– Gear Time: A meter that slowly decreases; the OC Gear ends when it empties
