Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.

We previously mentioned that Quest of Dungeons has a September 1 release date in Europe on Wii U. The 3DS version is still coming, but it’s in lot check at the moment – meaning no date yet. As for North America, both versions are pending (though still planned of course).

Quest of Dungeons will cost €8.99. Even better, when both versions are available, cross-buy will be supported. Buying the game on Wii U will net you the 3DS version for free, and vise versa.

Quest of Dungeons will support off-TV play and the Pro Controller on Wii U. The 3DS version officially has StreetPass functionality, in which you encounter the ghost of another player’s failed attempts and try to kill/loot.

Polygon and IGN have shared another more footage from the Toybox version of Yooka-Laylee Playtonic put out earlier today. The download allows players to mess around with some of what the platformer will offer next year. See the latest gameplay below.

As previously mentioned, Playtonic released Yooka-Laylee’s Toybox to eligible backers earlier today, giving fans a chance to try out the platformer’s mechanics and experience some of its elements. View some footage of the “demo” below.

Two Tribes has prepared a new RIVE trailer highlighting the shooter’s characters. Mark Dodson of Star Wars and Gremlins fame is lending his voice to the title.

Here’s the video:

RIVE’s status on Wii U is currently up in the air. It should eventually reach Nintendo platforms though, be it Wii U or NX.

Playtonic is giving some of its fans a chance to try out Yooka-Laylee. Starting today, those who pledged £20 and above on Kickstarter will receive download codes for the Toybox. It’s a demo in one sense, but the game’s actual environments “will be far more vast and detailed”, and the final release will offer “far more moves, animations and general polish”.

The following trailer should introduce players to the Toybox:

With Yooka-Laylee’s Toybox, Playtonic wants to give loyal fans a taste of the core mechanics. Feedback will also be used to improve the end product.
