TOO DX has released a first update for Sportsball – version 1.0.01. The patch makes a few changes and addresses several bugs.

Read on below for the full update notes.

Changes:

  • Changed Sportsbrawl Pro rules to stock with bombs.
  • Controllers inactive for 1 minute will no longer rumble until a button is hit again.
  • Added a rumble on spawn
  • Changed level background graphics
  • Players must now hold the + button to pause matches

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where matches would restart twice in Sportsbrawl when a tackle happened by the winning team after victory.
  • Fixed memory leaks on exiting the match scene.
  • Fixed an issue where match number would not save to the replay data, displaying match # 0 on the results screen for all replays.
  • Fixed an issue with replays where saved object references were not correctly loaded. This resulted in free lances on moving platforms not syncing movement.
  • Fixed a soft lock issue when saving replays without enough space left in the common block. Now the replay will fail to save and an error message will be displayed.
  • Fixed an issue where after playing a 60 minute match and watching the whole replay, loading another replay may cause a crash.
  • Adjusted the timing of the intro animation to sync up the intro music

Indie developer Wind-up Giants is working on a new Unity-based project for the Wii U eShop titled “The Big Shuffle”.

The Big Shuffle is a horde game with support for up to four players. It takes place in a futuristic city where a rogue robot has turned the rest of his friendly machines against the humans.

Players take on the role of one of four classes as they attempt to protect the city in a special task force. The classes include The Striker, The Engineer, The Sniper, and The Captain.

Wind-up Giants began creating The Big Shuffle towards the end of July. Keep track of the studio’s Tumblr here for future updates.
