Curve Studios’ Wii U support continues. Today, in conjunction with Funktronic Labs, the company announced that Nova-111 is heading to the Wii U eShop early next year.

Nova-111 is a sci-fi themed adventure game that offers a mix of turn-based gameplay and real-time action. Players will need to use both real time decisions and turn based strategy to fight enemies and solve puzzles. Curve says, “The combination of two very different methods of interacting with the world creates a title that allows for the sense of urgency of real-time games while providing the depth of strategy and methodical combat decisions typically associated with turn-based titles.”

You’ll find today’s full announcement after the break. A trailer is posted above.

Actos Games has confirmed plans to launch Psyscrolr on the Wii U eShop this fall.

Jonathan Meyer, founder of the studio, shared the news on Twitter:

Here’s an overview of the game shared a couple of months ago:

Welcome to the world of psyscrolr, a tale of a young man outcast from his society by gaining powers he never wanted or had. The Scrolr, which is the main character, must find his way through the beautiful landscapes while solving puzzles, fighting enemies, and uncovering the truth of his world while being hunted by the Magi; a sect of wizards who wish to put an end to the Scrolr’s new powers.

Utilizing the Wii U GamePad, interact with the world directly as you make contact from your world to the Scrolr’s world. Move objects, shoot fireballs, block hits… the touch is your greatest weapon.

Next Level Games has dabbled with the combination of Mario and sports in the past. Super Mario Strikers launched for GameCube, while Mario Strikers Charged came out for Wii. Next Level Games also created an idea for a third project at one point: “Super Mario Spikers”.

Super Mario Spikers would have been a new game for Wii featuring a mixture of volleyball/wrestling gameplay. Development never actually began, and the idea was canned soon after the initial phases of conceptualization.

Unseen64 has plenty of additional information here.
