Two more characters have been revealed for Runner2’s “Good Friends Character Pack”.

Cave Story’s Quote and Psychonaut’s Raz were announced for the game yesterday. Today, Super Meat Boy’s Dr. Fetus and Machinarium’s Josef were also confirmed.

Look out tomorrow for the reveals of the final three characters.


The date doesn’t apply to the Wii U version, but we can still enjoy the footage:



Chasing Aurora developer Broken Rules has announced Secrets of Raetikon (stylized SECRETS OF RÆTIKON), a new aerial exploration game set in the Alps. The team has been working on the project since early 2011.

Players will fly through a variety of environments including hills, forests, snowy mountain tops, and even lightning storms. They’ll also come across wild animals – who interact with the user and each other – as well as remnants of an ancient civilization. You can choose to engage in combat or simply explore and solve mysteries.

Platforms are TBA at this time, but the Wii U eShop has a pretty good chance of getting the game. A release is planned for 2013.

For the official Secrets of Raetikon announcement, head past the break.


Spin the Bottle won’t be out this month as originally expected. The game’s delay may not be too long, though. Developer KnapNok hopes to have it ready by mid-August.

As far as the actual delay is concerned, while the game has been finished “for months”, Nintendo’s final quality assurance “has taken way longer than anticipated.” Due to Spin the Bottle’s unconventional nature and gameplay, more checks are needed.

We’ve yet another indie game headed to Wii U with the help of fundraising stretch goals, this time the Castlevania-inspired Odallus: The Dark Call. Take a look at the screenshot above (or the details below!) for a better idea of what this game is like, and click here to support the game’s $55,000 Wii U stretch goal.

According to the IndieGogo page, the game will feature non-linear levels, five different areas, hordes of demons, and huge bosses. It’s estimated to launch in mid-2014.
