Varia Games has been working hard on ReVeN – a new 2D shooter/platformer for a few platforms including Wii U. The indie developer has also been creating XBridge. This was originally planned as a mini-game set in ReVeN’s universe as a means to hold fans over until the main game launched in 2016. However, it’s now being made into a standalone title.

XBridge will feature a number of elements like Conquest mode (join the I.S.T.O or E.G.R Faction and fight to destroy the enemy armada), arcade mode, and story mode. There’s also a level editor, 2-player co-op, and more.

XBridge is targeted for Q1 2015. Like ReVeN, it will be released on Wii U.

Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Natsume confirmed on Twitter that the fast-paced NES sidescroller Shadow of the Ninja will release on the US 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console in early 2015. Known in Europe as “Blue Shadow”, the game is already available on the Wii Virtual Console, but it’ll be nice to have it on the other two platforms. No, the in-game graphics don’t look anything like the box art pictured above.
