The latest issue of Germany’s Retro Gamer has revealed that a new Turrican game is in development titled “Turrican Rebirth”. Like its predecessors, Rebirth will feature 2D gameplay, and functionality is in the works so that weapons and stages can be shared with others online.

Platforms are unknown, and Turrican Rebirth is just starting out, so we probably won’t be seeing this one for awhile. Interestingly, Retro Gamer indicates that the project’s right holders have been in touch with Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams maker Black Forest Games.

Yacht Club Games will be at PAX East, as will the studio’s first game – so it seems. The company posted a banner image to its Facebook page indicating that the unannounced title will be present in some form. First details will be revealed in the next issue of Nintendo Force.

Last week, Yacht Club announced the formation of the studio. Various members of WayForward joined Yacht – specifically Sean Velasco, Ian Flood, Lee McDole, Erin Pellon, Nick Wozniak, and David D’Angelo.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Will Turnbow, a dedicated Zelda fan, and his wife made an absolutely amazing animated Skyward Sword cake for their daughter’s tenth birthday. The cake features Skyloft, the Sealed Grounds, the Faron Woods, as well as other elements from the Wii title.

“The Temple entrance is 6 batches of Rice Krispies and the backside of the temple is 9 cakes stacked as high as we could make it. The small tower on either side are styrofoam wrapped with fondant. My wife made and painted all of the characters out of clay except for Link (I was able to use my Figma Link).”

I’m conflicted. I love me some Toki Tori, but I can’t stand the Harlem Shake. I feel like that meme ran its course weeks ago!

We’ve seen the closure of two big Nintendo magazines within the past year. Nintendo Power ended its 20+ year run in 2012, and UK publication Nintendo Gamer shuttered last year as well.

Yet another Nintendo magazine announced its end today. Dutch publication [N]Gamer is calling it quits after being in print for close to a decade.

I suppose this just goes to show that magazines truly are in decline…
