Indie developer Rainy Night Creations has announced Vaccine as its next project. It’s quite the change from the cheery and colorful nature of FreezeME, the studio’s 3D platformer that hit Wii U earlier this year.

Rainy Night Creations has shared the following information thus far:

Find a vaccine for your infected friend before the time runs out, but be aware your friend will relapse sooner or later and you will have to find a new vaccine in a new randomly rebuilt house. Will you be able uncover the mystery to save your friend once and for all!

Vaccine is a new approach on Survival Horrors inspired by those of the 90s era such as Resident Evil or Dino Crisis.Players can choose between the two members of a special bio-hazard rapid response team, each starting with their own unique differential abilities.They are trapped in a strange house populated by dangerous mutated creatures, they will have to find a vaccine for another team member who is infected with a deadly virus.

Unless the players uncover the mystery of the house, every time they bring back the vaccine, the infected team member will relapse and the user will be presented with a new randomly rebuilt house.The players will be able to gain experience points from different actions and use them on the skills they think will be more beneficial, bringing a more tactical approach compared to the games it takes inspiration from.

Vaccine is slated for Q1 2017 on Wii U and other platforms. View the first trailer below.

Thanks to Arison for the tip.

– Press the reset button to visit the Home Menu
– Option to reduce screen burn-in
– Auto-shudown setting
– 8 languages
– English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Netherlands, Portuguese, and Russian
– Demo screensaver mode that shows a tug of war between Mario and Luigi if you leave it idle
– You’ll also see big pixel-art versions of characters
– Games run both brighter and sharper than on the Wii U Virtual Console
– No option to stretch games to fill a widescreen
– Option dims the screen after a certain amount of idle time
– Legal notices included
– Legal notices mentions an open-source license
– Nintendo didn’t say what’s in the machine, what emulator it’s running
– A little “lock” icon is on the four save slots

This past week we found out about Mercenaries Saga 3, which lands on the Japanese 3DS eShop next week. Unsurprisingly, Circle Entertainment is localizing the game, and we might be seeing it very soon. The English version is almost ready to be submitted to Nintendo in both North America and Europe.

Aside from Mercenaries Saga 3, other Circle-published games are on the way. Mr. Pumpkin Adventure (Wii U) and Fairune 2 (3DS) should be out next month as well as ASH (3DS) for Europe.

The NES Classic Edition isn’t Nintendo’s first crack at emulating past games, though it might be its best attempt yet. GameXplain put together a video that shows how the hardware’s emulation stacks up against the Wii U Virtual Console, and it seems rather clear which one does the better job. View the full video below.

The BBC iPlayer has only been around for about a year, but the app is already a thing of the past. It was taken down from the Wii U eShop on August 31, and it’s also said that service will end in January 2017. That doesn’t leave much time left for folks to use it!
