Eurogamer has secured new details on Spin the Bottle’s upcoming update. Details, including information about a couple of mini-games, can be found below.

– Out just before Christmas
– Update adds new mini-games using the GamePad camera
– Free for existing owners
– New consumers will need to pay
– “it will probably be ‘a couple of bucks.'”

From producer Dajana Dimovska:

“Our theme for this update has been the camera and the GamePad. We explore a lot of different technologies in the GamePad such as the gyro, camera, facial detection, thumb sticks and even smile detection. The GamePad will be held used in ways we haven’t seen on Wii U yet.”

Don’t Laugh

– Two players stand next to each other with their faces in range of the GamePad’s viewfinder
– Audience will do what it can to get the players to smile or laugh
– Whoever does so loses

“What is really great is that we take pictures with the GamePad while all this is going on. So after a minigame, you get to enjoy pictures of yourself looking silly. Oh and these pictures will of course also be saved in a gallery so you can laugh at them later.”

Act Like an Animal

– One player holds the GamePad facing another player
– The player looking at the screen will see an image of an animal
– They’ll need to mime the creature while the person holding the GamePad has to guess what animal their partner is indicating
– 6 rounds of animal acting
– GamePad will capture various images

Mighty No. 9 hit its final two stretch goals prior to the end of the game’s Kickstarter.

Earlier today, the campaign (including PayPal donations) hit $3.8 million, guaranteeing an 8-bit-style chiptune soundtrack for the final product. The optional soundtrack will feature classic sound effects as well. Players will be able to toggle it on or off in the settings menu.

With funds reaching $4 million, Mighty No. 9 will also incorporate an online battle race mode. You’ll be able to compete online with others through “slightly customized versions of single-player stages.”

Here’s the official lowdown:

The ultimate online competition! You and a friend compete online, racing to the end of slightly customized versions of single-player stages. You can see your rival as a “ghost” image in your game, but you can’t affect each other…save for the enemies you defeat being sent over to impede your opponent’s progress! It’s an all new twist on versus mode play that will give Mighty No. 9 life well beyond the single-player campaign!

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and Hyper Light Drifter will feature crossovers between the two titles.

In Shantae, Kickstarter backers will receive a code for an exclusive Risky Boots quest featuring “Drifter”. This will be available to those who pledge $12 or more.

An overview of the quest published by WayForward reads:

“Risky Boots is searching high and low for the magical artifacts she needs to enter the Genie Realm and destroy the do-gooding Shantae once and for all. She soon crosses paths with a wandering stranger named “Drifter”. By fulfilling Drifter’s Quest, Risky Boots will gain the Drifter Blade, a brand new weapon with special properties designed in collaboration with Alexander Preston, creator of Hyper Light Drifter!”

Hyper Light Drifter will also feature its own collaboration. Heart Machine has teamed up with WayForward to include a Risky Boots bonus quest, which will be offered to backers who pledge $10 or more. Players will receive a special item – not yet announced – for completing the quest.
