We originally posted about Battle Princess Madelyn last month. In February, Casual Bit Games confirmed the project for Switch and Wii U. What we didn’t know at the time though is that a Kickstarter campaign would be involved.

For those interested in Battle Princess Madelyn, the game is seeking $60,000 (CA) in funding. It just opened with a month to go, and already has generated about $7,500. Assuming the goal is met, Battle Princess Madelyn will be on both of Nintendo’s consoles in the future.

According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Picross 3D is heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. A price isn’t listed, but it should cost $9.99.

Here’s an overview:

“Track the numbers to uncover the hidden shape! Tap a chisel to eliminate blocks you think don’t belong or use a paintbrush to mark ones you think should stay. Beginners and Picross veterans alike will love this puzzle game that’s easy to pick up, but hard to put down!”

Lightwood Games is bringing a new puzzler to the Wii U and 3DS eShops very soon. Sudoku Party is scheduled for this Thursday in North America in Europe, with Europe (and Australasia) following next week.

Sudoku Party features 1,000 puzzles, all of which can be tackled alone or with another person. A Party Mode is also included “to see who can think quickest” in a frantic battle.

Here’s how it works:

“Two players work together to solve the same introductory-level puzzle, but at the same time compete to see who can control the largest number of squares. Score a point for each square you complete. Once you have placed a correct answer, your opponent has just a few seconds to react and solve it too, otherwise they can no longer score that point!”

Players can use the touchscreen or buttons on Wii U to play, while the second player can join in using a Wii Remote, Wii U Pro Controller, or Classic Controller. 3DS supports Download Play and online.

Swap Fire normally costs $14.99 on the North American Wii U eShop. Either the developer is feeling extra generous, or someone made an error as the game is currently showing as free.

Even if you’re not interested in Swap Fire, it might be worth “purchasing” regardless. We’re hearing that it’s giving users 20 Gold Points on My Nintendo.

You can order Swap Fire from Nintendo’s website here. It should probably be up on the eShop itself as well.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
