Brainseed Factory already has ideas for another Typoman, which could be a sequel or possibly even a prequel. The studio is also working on “a totally new game concept”.

Brainseed Factory founder and CEO Bilal Chbib told Nintendo Life:

“We’re already working on a totally new game concept, but we also have a couple of ideas for a Typoman sequel (or maybe prequel?) as well. As you stated, it largely depends on the success.”

Before we see anything else from Brainseed, the company will first need to wrap up Typoman. The game is scheduled to launch sometime during the third quarter of this year.

Update: Bumped to the top. It’s now confirmed that VS. Excitebike’s release will be the Famicom version. The game includes the track editor, additional tracks/music and two-player multiplayer.

Nintendo is teasing the arrival of VS. Excitebike in North America – though we’re still not entirely sure what it is.

VS. Excitebike came out for arcades and the Famicom many, many years ago. Both releases were enhanced versions of the original Excitebike. However, it remains to be seen if the new release of Vs. Excitebike is based on what launched over three decades ago, or if it’s something new entirely.
