Dolores Entertainment is currently in the process of porting Bit Dungeon over to Wii U. The game previously released on PC and mobile.

Here’s an official description of Bit Dungeon:

bit Dungeon combines the randomized loot of Diablo and fast action combat of Zelda. Explore randomized dungeons and hack and slash your way through dangerous bosses. The difficultly increases as you become stronger and stronger. Build your character how you want with deadly passive abilities.

Just like the classic quarter crunchers of old, if you die you lose everything and start all over. Can you make it to the end and save the day?
•If you die you lose all items and start over.
•Extra Life: at Level 4 you receive a Soul after the boss instead of more magic. When you die this soul gives you a second chance.

amiibo figures will only be able to hold information for one game at a time, Nintendo has confirmed.

That news has been revealed via a notice posted on the Japanese amiibo website. The message states:

“Amiibo can only store data for one read/write compatible game at a time. If you wish to use the data from other read/write compatible software, please erase the data in the ‘Amiibo settings’ section of the Wii U settings menu.”

Keep in mind that amiibo figures with already-stored data can still be used for ready-only games.

Rodea: The Sky Soldier has finally resurfaced. The game, which was first announced for Wii and 3DS in January 2011, is coming out in Japan this spring.

It should come as no surprise that the Wii version of Rodea has been scrapped, and the game is now coming to Wii U (and 3DS still) instead. Interestingly, Famitsu reveals that first print copies of the Wii U version contain the bonus of the Wii version – what this means exactly is currently unclear.

Rodea: The Sky Soldier features huge bosses that are many hundreds times the size of Rodea himself. Famitsu also has a look at three previously mentioned characters.
