Wii U eShop

Minecraft: Wii U Edition only just launched on the eShop last week. Despite that, it’s already tearing up the eShop charts in Japan. It’s currently the ninth best-selling game on the digital store of all time.

To reach the eighth spot, Minecraft will need to outsell NES Remix. Splatoon, Dragon Quest X, Pokemon Rumble U, Super Mario Maker, Art Academy: SketchPad, Mario Kart 8, and Super Mario World are the other games ahead of it.

13AM Games isn’t finished working on Runbow. Despite bringing the game out back in late August, there are still plans to support it with new content and updates.

Managing director Dave Proctor teased:

“I mean… this game has been our whole life for the last two years, so it’s going to be everyone else’s for at least the next 12 months. We have a lot of plans for Runbow. We’re going to start announcing these things soon, but suffice it to say you haven’t heard the last of this little game and those scrappy Canadians that made it.

One thing we’ve never shied away from is admitting that there will be more content. We’re putting the finishing touches on it now, and let me tell you we really think the fans are going to love it. We’ve also got a few more updates that we are pushing out, including some fixes to some issues that fans have been calling for since launch.

Proctor also spoke very vaguely about what lies beyond Runbow, stating:

But we are also working on a couple other ideas, and seeing if we can bring that 13AM magic to new titles in the near future. We’re not done with Runbow yet, but we are working on getting a couple more planes off the ground. Planes that are already built this time.”

Update: No real surprise here, but Freedom Planet 2 is officially confirmed for at least one Nintendo platform.

GalaxyTrail has announced Freedom Planet 2, a follow-up to the Wii U eShop game released in October. We’ve included a brief trailer and teaser below.

“Join the heroes of Avalice as they face their greatest challenge yet! An ancient terror has emerged from the depths of the ocean. Merga, a water dragon from Avalice’s oldest and deadliest war, has been freed from her crystal prison as a consequence of the Kingdom Stone’s destruction. War is imminent once again, but this time, the heroes are split between sides. As friendships are tested, will the girls stand united when Bakunawa rises?”

There’s quite a bit that’s new/changed in Freedom Planet 2. GalaxyTrail is updating the game’s style, and will introduce features such as a flexible difficulty, guarding, and revivals. Details about each of these can be found after the break.
