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.

Nintendo wrote the following on Twitter a short while ago:

SteamWorld Heist will come with a few different difficulty levels. Based on comments from Brjann Sigurgeirsson, it sounds like there will be five in total, ranging from “Easy” to “Impossible”.

When cranking up the difficulty, players will encounter more enemies. There are also plans to implement more intelligent enemies. Sigurgeirsson believes that just “a few people on the planet” will be able to finish SteamWorld Heist on its hardest difficulty.

He told Nintendo World Report:

“… in SteamWorld Heist, we have difficulty levels so you can play Easy, Medium, Hard, Elite and Impossible… that’s the name of the difficulty levels today. So that’s the thing – you have to play it well, or you won’t complete it. I think that’s good, you’re supposed to put your soul and body into playing a game. It’s going to be as tough as you want it to be, but the game’s not going to give you anything. You’ll have to take it.

I might be missing a few things here, but there are various aspects that make it more difficult. We can introduce more enemies, but also the terrible notion of having better enemies. Like suddenly their aim is right on target. Like you say, less loot, you have weaker guns… there’ll only be a few people on the planet who can complete the game on the hardest difficulty.”
