Midipixel Studio is wrapping up work on Warlock’s Tower, a new Game Boy-inspired puzzle title for 3DS and other platforms. It’s planned for early 2017 (specifically January on Steam), so it shouldn’t be too long until we see it on the eShop.

Here’s a rundown of features:

• Solve 100 diabolically complex rooms! Brain melting puzzles await you in the dungeon, factory, library, private chambers, and warehouse
• Outwit zombies, flying eyes, and slimes! Your ever-diminishing steps are far from the only danger.
• Play with a friend! Option to roll solo or tackle tricky tag team stages with a buddy.
• Feel the 80s! 8-bit flavored graphics and sfx/music make you feel like you’re playing Game Boy again.
• Become a Mailman hero! Reach the pinnacle of the postal ranks by delivering the letter to the elusive Warlock

Watch a trailer for Warlock’s Tower below.

In its latest issue, GamesMaster published an interview with two of Game Freak’s developers working on Pokemon Sun/Moon. Director Shigeru Ohmori and Junichi Masuda were both interviewed. Ohmori’s comments mainly reiterated what we heard in previous interviews, but many of Masuda’s comments were very interesting.

The Masuda interview was more about Pokemon in general. He talked about fan feedback, the process of making new creatures, plus voice acting and Pokemon cries. If that wasn’t enough, Masuda also dished on a couple of new online features being included in Sun/Moon.

Head past the break for a rundown of some of Masuda’s top comments.

The development of Sonic Heroes took its toll on director Takashi Iizuka, who is also the head of Sonic Team. Iizuka spoke to Game Informer this month about how difficult it was to create, even labeling it as the most stressful project of his career.

Iizuka was located in the United States as Sonic Heroes was being created. Meanwhile, the rest of the team was based in Japan. Mismanagement was also a major issue.

Earlier today, Emily Rogers tweeted out some unconfirmed tidbits about the new Mario title for Switch. Nintendo showed a few seconds from the game during its announcement of the system last month.

According to Rogers, the project is “practically finished.” With that in mind, she believes it could be a launch title as opposed to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The latter game could still make Switch’s launch window, though Mario “was much further along in development than anyone thinks.”

Here’s a roundup of Rogers’ tweets:

Nintendo has said relatively little about what’s powering Switch. We know that NVIDIA is packing in a custom Tegra processor, but other than that, the big N has kept quiet. We only have rumors to go on such as the possibility of 4 GB of RAM being included.

At least one third-party developer appears to be pleased with what Nintendo is bringing to the table. Image & Form, developer of the SteamWorld series, told one fan on Twitter that Nintendo isn’t “skimping on power”. When asked further, the studio said that’s compared to previous home consoles.
