Polygon has shared a few new details about How to Survive. Here’s the latest information:

– Game has a “challenge” mode with 10 challenges to play
– Each challenge has you escaping a set of islands that have become infested with zombies
– Campaign mode is more about crafting, dismantling, upgrading, etc

EnjoyUp has teased a new game for the Wii U eShop involving cars and platforms.

A tweet published on the company’s account earlier today reads:


Note that “Cars & Platforms” isn’t actually the name of the game. This is just a tentative label given to the project for now.

Uncade LLC’s David Byers – the studio’s one and only employee – is currently working on Another Castle for Wii U. But Byers has created other games as well, including “Haunted Hallway”, “Blast Ball”, and “Love Me Not” for PC. Could we also see some of these on Wii U?

Byers admitted to Dromble that he’s “thought about it”, but has yet to make any decisions. If these older games were to see a Wii U release though, they’d probably “be more of a remake as opposed to a port.”

According to Bryers:

“I’ve thought about it, but to be honest I’m not sure yet. I feel like console games should be larger experiences than those games offer right now, so if I ever make them for the Wii U it would be more of a remake as opposed to a port. This would take a fair amount of work, and right now my top priority is working on Another Castle.”
