CoderChild has worked on a number of digital titles for the 3DS eShop, including Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot and Zombie Incident. Today, the indie developer announced its next project: “WordsUp! Academy”.
Here’s a brief overview:
“Becoming part of the Academy is not easy; its most illustrious members are waiting for you, ready to challenge you in this extraordinary puzzle and skills game. Prove your mastery of language in WordsUp! Academy… and dare to challenge them and get their approval!”
WordsUp! Academy will allow you to learn Spanish, German, English, French, Italian and Portuguese. The game will have “tens of thousands of words” as well as “6 game modes from a counterclockwise to a relaxing mode where you can test your knowledge”. Top scores can also be posted to online leaderboards.

There’s a new Twilight Princess HD tweet up on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. With today’s message, we get to hear a brief update from “Malo” about Poe Souls.
Here’s the full message:
“..It’s Malo. If you beat Poes who only appear at night, you can obtain the Poe Souls. Speaking of which, I heard someone in Castle Town has been wanting these… The number of spirits you’ve collected is recorded in the map on Wii U GamePad, so guys who tend to forget should be relieved too.”

Rumor: Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice now slated for Fall 2016, Mario & Sonic Wii U in June
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 24 Comments
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally slated for Fall 2015. Last September though, SEGA ended up pushing the game back to sometime this year. We’ve yet to receive any news updates since then.
A photo taken at Tomy’s booth from the New York Toy Fair may have revealed an updated release window. If what’s mentioned by the toy manufacturer is accurate, we won’t be seeing Fire & Ice until sometime this fall.
That’s not all though. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Wii U is rumored for June. And for those interested in the Sonic Boom cartoon, that’s apparently set to return this fall as well.
