The folks over at We Are Just Gamers published an interview with Manfred Linzner from Shin’en. Much of the talk focuses on FAST Racing Neo.

At one point, Linzner was asked if there are any plans to release DLC for its upcoming Wii U racer. This is ruled out quickly, with Linzner stating: “We want to release all content we created at launch of the game.”

Linzner also commented on FAST Racing Neo’s music, and confirmed that there are plans to bring out a soundtrack “at a later date.”

“For the music in FRN we tried a fresh style. We wanted something that could sound like from an 2015 Arcade Game. We really love how the music developed for the game. We plan to release the soundtrack at a later date.”

FAST Racing Neo will only be on Wii U. However, it sounds like Shin’en has at least some interest in seeing “a futuristic racer on a new handheld”.

“We currently have no plans to bring FRN to another system. However, i think a futuristic racer on a new handheld would be great.”

4 Corner Games has shared preliminary information about a new multiplatform project called “Monochrono”.

Thus far, the indie developer has only confirmed that it’s “a time-based black and white shooter”. The game is due out sometime in late 2015 or early 2016 on Wii U and other systems.

4 Corner Games wrote on Twitter today:

4 Corner Games previously made I’ve Got to Run! for Wii U and 3DS. That title hit the eShop last year.

Nintendo’s website confirms that the N64 version of Mario Tennis is launching on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow as a Virtual Console download. A rating for the game was found on the ESRB yesterday, which suggested that its release was imminent.

Here’s the official overview of Mario Tennis:

The Mushroom Kingdom’s finest hit the court in this wild multiplayer tennis game from Camelot, the talented developers behind Golden Sun and Mario Golf! Put some power and spin into your shots to claim victory on your own. Or go head-to-head with up to three friends in multiple modes such as Ring Shot, Exhibition, and more!

Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong lead off the all-star, 14-character lineup, including some fan favorites this game popularized, like Daisy. The fast-paced action will have you unleashing vicious volleys, lifesaving lobs, ballistic backhands, and electrifying supercharged smashes! Don’t forget: this is tennis with a Mario twist. Take the Piranha Challenge and brave the barrage of bouncing balls, or try out the Bowser Stage to attack opponents with Green Shells. It’s easy to see why this sports classic has stood the test of time.

Mario Tennis will be available to purchase for $9.99.

Update from Brian: Bumped to the top. A solution has been found, and Xeodrifter for Wii U will be available for free to those who previously purchased the game on 3DS.

Renegade Kid had originally planned on giving early adopters of Xeodrifter on 3DS a free download code for Wii U owners, however it seems that due to certain limitations, this may no longer be happening according to the co-founder and director of Renegade Kid, Jools Watsham.

It’s unfortunate to see this type of thing happen in the industry. Unfortunately, Jools cannot disclose exactly what’s going on and for what particular reason, but judging from the responses to these tweets, the fans are extremely supportive despite the unfortunate setback, and are still “double dipping” because of their love for the title. For those that don’t have Xeodrifter yet, however, you will get codes for both versions when you buy one as it will be a cross-buy title once the Wii U version releases.

Xeodrifter is currently available in the Nintendo eShop for 3DS, with the Wii U version arriving soon.
