PixlCross hitting the North American Wii U eShop next week
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
PixlBit Studios is bringing its nonogram-style puzzle game PixlCross to Wii U next week. It’s due out in North America on March 31 as an eShop download. Pricing is set at $5.99.
You can find an overview of PixlCross below. We’ve also gone ahead and attached the title’s launch trailer.
PixlCross, like Picross, has players leverage hints to fill in a grid and reveal a hidden picture. Boasting more than 150 puzzles across four levels of difficulty, players start by solving puzzles on simple 5×5 grids, but can eventually conquer the challenging final puzzles on massive 35×35 grids! The game’s handy auto-save feature allows players to start as many puzzles as they want without ever losing progress!
Since the game’s initial reveal, PixlBit Studios has made some notable improvements, many of which enhance Miiverse interaction and improve gameplay. After creating a puzzle using the robust puzzle editing tool, players can now share an ID code on Miiverse and other social media channels that will allow friends, family and fellow players to easily download their creations. Additionally, PixlCross now lets players track the popularity of their shared puzzles. Compete against your best friend, your crazy aunt, or a fellow Miiverse player to have one of the most popular puzzles in the country.
The update also provides sleeker, more streamlined menus for an optimized puzzle-solving experience! In-game, players will now know as soon as they’ve solved a portion of a row or column, to help complete puzzles even faster. When you finish a puzzle, be sure to tap the newly added Miiverse™ button to boast about your success! Whether using the GamePad on the Wii U or the mouse on the PC, it’s spectacularly simple and intuitive to interact with PixlCross. Simply slide along the grid to fill in or cross out grid boxes. Boxes count as you fill, pop-out hints eliminate unnecessary scrolling, and the auto-scroll feature makes it even easier to tackle even the toughest challenges!

Three more episodes in the pipeline for Minecraft: Story Mode
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A total of five Minecraft: Story Mode episodes were previously announced. But today, Telltale Games confirmed that three post-season episodes are also on the way.
As for what Telltale has in store, the company only divulged the following:
“These continuing Adventures of the New Order of the Stone will follow the additional escapades of Jesse the group as they explore new and unfamiliar worlds beyond their own. All three of these episodes will be add-ons to the season, so you’ll need to own at least the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode in order to purchase and play these three chapters in the series which will include episodes 6, 7, and 8.”
Telltale has only brought out the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode on Wii U thus far. We should be getting the other four episodes at some point, along with the newly-announced post-season releases.
Telltale also shared the following regarding the fifth Minecraft: Story Mode episode, which has now wrapped up development:
On a tip from Ivor, Jesse and friends head to an abandoned temple holding mysterious treasures. Ambushed by former Ocelot Aiden and his crew, our heroes find themselves in an entirely new world: Sky City! As they explore, the Order finds that resources are at a premium, and nothing but ‘The Void’ exists below the known world. When Aiden convinces Sky City’s ruler that the New Order of the Stone are up to no good, you’ll need to make some tough choices to clear your name, and keep Aiden from destroying an innocent world.
