Ratalakia Games has shared updates on two games slated for Nintendo platforms while also announcing a new one.

First up is Defend Your Crypt, a project made by the team internally. Ratalakia Games hopes to have this game ready around May for Wii U, 3DS, and PC.

Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition by Axol Studio is another title we’ve heard about from Ratalakia. We knew the port was coming to 3DS, but a Wii U version is now confirmed as well. The goal is to have the game complete during the first half of this year.

Nintendo first gave Humble Bundle a shot last May, and returned to the service a couple of weeks ago with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. There was quite a bit of planning involved, as Humble Bundle co-founder John Graham told Nintendo Life that talks about a second promotion began right after the first one drew to a close.

He said:

“I think right after the first promotion ended, and we had seen over $750,000 come in for developers and charity across 82,000 purchases in two weeks, we began trading ideas and plans for the next promotion.”

Graham also mentioned that he hopes to see Nintendo bundles “continue to blossom into a more frequently recurring tradition.” Aside from that, he noted that his “expectations have been exceeded” with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle.

Pocket Card Jockey is made by Game Freak, the developer of the Pokemon RPGs. So it makes sense that the game has references to the well-known series, right? In addition to that, there are nods to Game Freak’s other titles as well as Nintendo, pop culture, and gaming in general. GameXplain looks at it all in the following video:
