13AM Games, the developer behind Runbow, is hard at work on its next project which is confirmed to be an entirely new IP. Fans will be happy to hear that it’s planned for Switch. 13AM Games boss Alex Rushdy shared the news in a Famitsu interview posted today.

While we wait on the new game, Runbow will be ported to Switch in early 2018. Rushdy told Famitsu that he’s glad he can satisfy those who have been asking for it to be released on the new console. Since 13AM Games is busy with its new title, Runbow’s Switch port is primarily being handled by Stage Clear Studios.

Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the Super NES Classic Edition to find out what’s powering the hardware.

You may not be surprised to hear this, but Nintendo has repurposed the exact same technology from the NES Classic. Digital Foundry says it’s “almost a complete match for last year’s model.”

The fact that Nintendo is using last year’s technology isn’t entirely a bad thing. For one, the SNES Classic Edition didn’t really need any major boosts or changes. Digital Foundry also points out that it will be easier for the NES Classic Edition to be brought back next year.

The Wii U Virtual Console keeps going strong thanks to Konami. Tomorrow, Double Dungeons will be hitting the eShop in North America.

Nintendo’s website contains the following overview:

Defeat monsters in each dungeon to gain experience while searching for the “key” that opens the door to the room with the boss. Buy equipment at the shop, team up with characters, and defeat the boss to clear a scenario. Conquer all 21 scenarios from levels 1 through 5 to obtain passwords. Obtain all of them to make your way to the final scenario! Two players can play at the same time, which makes this game truly stand out from the rest.

Double Dungeons will be priced at $5.99.
