Temple of Yog will be receiving a healthy number of updates. Along with additional Epochs featuring new content, CHUDCHUD Industries has already wrapped up a patch that will bring the game up to version 1.1.

What’s included in the update, you ask? More quests, a new enemy type, improved AI, and other fixes/additions are planned. Version 1.1 has already been submitted for Nintendo’s approval, and should be out during the middle of February.

Head past the break for a full rundown of the upcoming update.

Aperion Cyberstorm is going to support a whole bunch of controllers. The Wii Balance Board might be the only exception, which I don’t believe players will be displeased about!

Speaking with Nintendo Life, developer aPriori Digital went over the different control options included in Aperion Cyberstorm. One of these is simply using the Wii Remote for “something like a golf grip.”

Here’s the full explanation from aPriori:

Regarding controllers, we’ve tried to support every official option as far as possible — sorry, no balance board…

As we said last year, the game will support a Wii Remote without an attached Nunchuk. We figured there are a lot lying around or cheap to buy, so getting five players together should be simpler than other options. When we got down to it, we realised the logistics of mapping a twin stick shooter to that device.

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is still on track to arrive on the Wii U eShop. And based on a comment from the series’ Twitter account, it may not be much longer before the game is ready to launch. The developer said it’s “literally in the final steps” on Nintendo’s console.

Here’s the full tweet:


It’s been a long wait for Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty on Wii U, but the journey is finally over. Let’s hope an official release date is confirmed sooner rather than later.
