Super Icon just released Life of Pixel on the North American Wii U eShop this past Thursday. The studio is also planning on bringing Vektor Wars to Wii U, which is targeted for release in 2-3 months.

Vektor Wars is “an 80’s neon future inspired first-person cyber shooter.” It features arcade shooter gameplay, nine worlds to liberate, and more.

Super Icon is also working on its next new title called “Best Buds VS Bad Guys”. We don’t have official confirmation about it coming to Wii U just yet, but Super Icon is a big fan of the console, and more games are planned for the system.

Here’s the rundown on Best Buds VS Bad Guys from Super Icon:

Best Buds VS Bad Guys is a pixel platform game based on the bond between two best buddies. The idea came about from my son, Lucas and myself – we call each other Best Bud in real life, and we both thought it would be fun to create a game where we have to battle bad guys in a computer world.

This is even more significant as Lucas has Asperger’s, and he wanted to tell and show people how working together as a team means you can overcome difficulties and be successful. it is about good over evil, about friendship, overcoming difficulties, showing you can make a difference! All presented in a beautiful 16-bit classic arcade machine art style, with a thumping good chip-tune soundtrack.

And as it is a Super Icon game, there will be plenty of references to arcade classics such as Ghosts’n Goblins, Green Beret, Bionic Commando, Black Tiger and loads more!

GamesBeat has published a fairly lengthy interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi. Takahashi talked about Xenoblade Chronicles X in-depth, confirmed that his next title is in the works, expressed interest in expanding Monolith Soft, and more.

We have a good chuck of the interview rounded up below. The full discussion can be read here.

On being anxious about getting Xenoblade Chronicles X out in North America…

Takahashi: Yeah, although there’s still quite a lot left for us to do. We’ve announced a release date and everything, but all we can see is a looming deadline.

On how Xenoblade Chronicles X is a deliberate successor, and if Takahashi wanted to make the story more closely grounded to reality…

Takahashi: The simplest answer, probably, is that I felt like, after working on a fantasy setting, it might be nice to try something new. Science fiction is a great change of pace. It’s a really interesting flavor.

On the challenge in bringing an RPG franchise to HD for the first time…

Takahashi: Probably the biggest challenge for us comes in the planning stage, where we have to think about how we’re going to use these limited resources — I’m talking mostly about time on the schedule — to create all the assets in such a huge world. What order do we need to take tasks in to accomplish them all in the most efficient way? There’s a lot of tech that goes into expressing the open world concept as well, making sure that it’s a seamless experience from one end to the other. That’s probably the biggest challenge.

Jar Jar Binks is in Disney Infinity 3.0. He acts as a mission giver in the game’s campaign and a spawnable townsperson in the Toy Box mode. However, Jar Jar Binks isn’t actually playable.

Vice president of digital business/franchise management at LucasFilm’s interactive division Ada Duan and Disney Interactive’s John Vignocchi told Polygon:

“Anything is possible. Once we figured out what we wanted that three-week experience to be, we all dove in and said let’s do Star Wars: A New Hope. Interestingly, in terms of the surveys that came back from all the kids experiences’, they said, ‘Where is Anakin? Where is Darth Maul?’ It was because this generation had grown up with the Clone Wars. They wanted to know where there favorite characters were, where’s Jar Jar? So when we were deciding how much Star Wars should we bring into Infinity, we were like, ‘Please, let’s not only focus on the classic trilogy; we need to bring the Phantom Menace as well, as well as Star Wars Rebels.” – Duan

“I remember when we saw how high he was on the character chart, I was like, ‘This has got to be because people hate him, right?’ I was totally wrong.” – Vignocchi

Super Mario Maker has support for Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U. But what about Super Mario Bros. 2?

Nintendo’s Kensuke Tanabe addressed this while speaking with USgamer at E3 last week, in which he stated:

“Super Mario Bros. 2, as you know, when we created that game in Japan, it didn’t have Mario as the main character Probably because of that, it’s been overlooked for Super Mario Maker. I didn’t talk to Mr. (Takashi) Tezuka at all about it, actually. It does seem sort of unfortunate.”

Tanabe did give a bit of hope for the future, as he seemed to show some interest in something like a Super Mario Bros. 2-style version of Mario Maker. “If I ever have the chance, yes, it would be interesting to work on something like that,” he said.
