Toki Tori and RIVE developer Two Tribes is interested in supporting Nintendo in the future, so long as the company continues to produce consoles.

The studio’s Martijn Reuvers told Nintendo World Report:

“If they still make consoles then, and I hope they will especially after the NX, I’ll always support them. I’m not just saying that because I want to please them, we’ve been working with them for 15 years and it just feels right. If they’re still making consoles, we’ll be there.”

Netflix has received a fairly substantial update on Wii U. New functionality has been added, and the application itself has been overhauled.

It’s now possible to select and create profiles. Also in terms of functionality, television episodes now auto-play. You can also resume from where you’ve left off as well.

Update: The official website is now live here. Bandai Namco is kicking off the beta on September 3 – at least in Japan.

Bandai Namco’s Project Treasure has finally resurfaced – and it has a new name.

The latest trailer for the game just came online a few minutes ago. In the new video, we learn that it’s been updated with the title “Lost Reavers”, and a beta test is happening soon.

Lost Reavers is a free-to-play online co-op action game. Four players hunt down treasure by fighting whatever gets in their way.

Players will have several characters to choose from. Sayuri, for instance, is an all-rounder who fights with both blades and guns. Dwayne is a “power type” character who seems to use heavy weapons. Victoria duel-wields guns, and ShadowStalk is a tricky character with a variety of attacks.

The main goal in Lost Reavers is to find and recover relics, but there’ll be all kinds of enemies and giant bosses standing in the way. One aspect of the game lets you customize the characters with different weapons, costumes and consumable items. The GamePad displays the map and can be used to chat with other players through pre-set messages. All of that stuff also appears on the main screen, so there might be Pro Controller support.

Runbow made its debut on the North American Wii U eShop today. Once installed on your console (or external hard drive), the game takes up 709MB of space. That’s not too far off from the size of the Nindies@Home demo released during E3.

Update 4: GAME is now taking pre-orders for the Shovel Knight amiibo.

Update 3: Bumped to the top. 4u2play’s listing is interesting, as it mentions co-op on Wii U and the ability to customize Shovel Knight.

Here’s the full translation (thanks Jake):

Coop Multiplayer (Wii U exclusive)

• Enter a friends’ game and shovel together!
• Special Coop-Moves support you on your journey together.

Full flexibility:

• Enter the level where you destroy your enemies and find precious treasures
• Earn never seen relicts, skills and powers.
• Alter the appearance of your Shovel Knight with cool cosmetic details.

User your personal amiibo seamless on Wii U and 3DS.

• The Shovel Knight amiibo will work with all Nintendo Products that Yacht Club Games will create in the near future.
• Compatible with Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS and Wii U.

Update 2: The Shovel Knight amiibo has also been listed by 4u2play.

Update: GAME’s tweet has been removed. We also have another, higher-quality image of the supposed amiibo from Reddit.

Is Shovel Knight getting its own amiibo? A tweet from UK retailer GAME claims that a figure based on Yacht Club Games’ character will actually be happening.

GAME Brighton posted the following on Twitter today:

13AM Games is completely finished with Runbow’s development, but the company hasn’t stopped working on the title all together. Writing in a Reddit AMA, producer Dave Proctor mentioned that more content – including costumes and levels – will be added in the future. Additionally, any issues that crop up will be addressed as well.

Proctor mentioned:

“We’re planning new content right now and we’ll be making announcements very very soon. Suffice it to say we will continue to fix issues if there are any, and we want you guys to know that we are appreciative for all of your support. Definitely new costumes and levels down the road.”

13AM Games also expressed some interest in the 3DS during the AMA session, and also left the door open to a Runbow sequel. You can read the full Q&A here.

Runbow launched today on the North American Wii U eShop. The European release is set for September, and a specific date will be announced in the very near future.
