The first Super Mario Advance hit the European Wii U Virtual Console a short while ago. A few minutes of footage is now in, which you can view below.

Two Tribes is still hard at work on RIVE, a game planned for the Wii U eShop among other platforms. The end of development is in sight, as it now carries a September release window.

Here’s a new trailer:

Two Tribes also shared some surprising news today that RIVE will be the studio’s final game. The company “will continue to support our partners and all gamers out there,” but the team won’t be making any new, original projects.

Two Tribes wrote in a blog post:

Infinity Runner from Wales Interactive now has a release date in Europe. According to an eShop listing, it will be available starting on March 24. Pricing is set at €6,49.
