Astral Breakers is coming to the Wii U eShop, indie developer Intropy Games has announced. The action-puzzle game is scheduled to launch in June.

Below is a brief overview:

The Zodiac Constellations have gone berserk, putting the entire cosmos in jeopardy. Out of options, the cantankerous Kira the Star is forced to recruit none other than you to help put things back in order.

Choose from any of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac and start fighting for the future of the cosmos in an epic sphere-splitting, breaker-bashing, combo-crushing puzzle battle!

In Astral Breakers, players are tasked with filling their opponent’s playfield with Astral Spheres. This is done by destroying Spheres on their own playfield using Breakers, which sends them to the opposition. Victory is achieved when the opponent’s playfield is full.

Intropy Games is also including a Super Nova mode. Here players “work together to prevent an exploding star from dropping metric tons of spheres on BOTH players’ fields”. It’s also possible to create unique Zodiac Signs in the Custom Zodiac mode.

Here’s the full rundown of Astral Breakers’ features:

A fully-featured action puzzle drop game for one or two players.
Challenge the AI in a head-to-head battle, or help Kira save the cosmos in Story Mode.
Battle a friend in Versus mode.
Choose from 12 different Zodiac Signs, each with unique properties.
Create your own Zodiac Sign complete with customized name and attack pattern.
Team up in the cooperative SuperNova mode.

Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut was confirmed for Wii U back in April 2013. It’s been nearly two years, but the game still hasn’t launched on the eShop. So what’s going on?

We reached out to Toxic Games recently, and the studio’s Dan Da Rocha told us that Q.U.B.E “has taken longer than expected”. However, the team is “on track to release April/May time across all consoles (apart from 360).” Only a few more months!

Zen Studios is bringing more content to Zen Pinball 2. The Iron & Steel Pack, comprised of CastleStorm and Wild West Rampage tables, will be coming to Wii U at some point in the future.

Below is an overview of both:

In CastleStorm pinball, players will team up once again with the heroic knight Sir Gareth as he returns to protect the Kingdom from the relentless hordes of vicious Vikings and their raging leader, Chief Ramhorn. The table features single and multiball game modes set within a Viking stronghold, an enormous fire breathing dragon, an armored troll, and even a charming donkey!

YEEEEHAAAW! The Wild West Rampage table stars Cindy, a bold bounty hunter who arrives in the western town of Rackton Point with a bone to pick with the town’s crooked Sheriff Evans. Cindy has her sights aimed on defeating his men and ruining their crooked plans to control the town, but it definitely won’t be easy to loosen Evans’ stranglehold. Hit the trail and experience an exciting Western-inspired playfield complete with a rolling 3D steam engine, swinging saloon doors, a six-shooter ball locker, and duels with members of Sheriff Evans’ posse!

We’ll let you know when a Wii U release date for the tables has been finalized.
