Playtonic has come out with the very first trailer for Yooka-Laylee, which you can watch below. The video confirms a new launch timing of Q1 2017. The game was originally planned for release this October.

Playtonic shared the following regarding the delay:

While we felt confident we could ship the game in October as originally projected in our Kickstarter, the Playtonic team has decided that it would prefer to add a few extra months’ polish to the game schedule.

Ultimately, this will allow us to deliver a better game to the tens-of-thousands of you who’ve supported us throughout development. And that’s what we all want, right?

We’re sure some will be disappointed by the prospect of a few extra months’ wait, however the team is confident that we’ve made the right decision for the game and that you’ll be pleased with the results when Yooka-Laylee arrives early next year.

BlitWorks has ported some big indie titles to Wii U. The studio just brought Super Meat Boy to the eShop last month, and previously worked on Don’t Starve as well as Badland. They’re not stopping there though. BlitWorks is currently cooking up Wii U versions of the Metroid-esque Axiom Verge and the F-Zero-inspired racer The Next Penelope.

We recently caught up with BlitWorks co-founder Ángel Horna to learn more about BlitWorks and what it’s like porting games to Wii U. Horna spoke about why the eShop version of Super Meat Boy wasn’t an entirely easy task (and how it came about in the first place), gave updates on The Next Penelope as well as Axiom Verge, and much more.

Head past the break for our full discussion.

Quest of Dungeons were confirmed for both Wii U and 3DS back in February. The developer shared a status update today, and touched on features that are in the works.

There’s no word yet on a release date, but Quest of Dungeons may hit Wii U and 3DS simultaneously. Both versions are coming along.

On Wii U, Quest of Dungeons will feature off-TV play and Pro Controller support. There will also be an option to play between the GamePad and TV so that you can take advantage of a touch-based inventory, map, and more to manage things.

The 3DS has been a bit more difficult to work with due to technical challenges, but it’s moving along. An updated version of the UI / use of dual screens should allow players to manage items on the lower screen by touch. StreetPass support is also under consideration:

When you StreetPass someone you send and receive ghosts from previous runs to the other user. Here’s how it works, when you die, the game saves your character as it is, stats, equipment, etc. There is later a chance, that in a new game you might encounter yourself, but now you will also send those ghosts to the other players. So when you find ghosts from other users (they will have a icon in-game to make it different) if you defeat them, you’ll get all the loot. Cool right?
