Two Tribes said today:

Speaking about RUSH, Two Tribes commented that the TV could act as the optional display:

Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has been tweeting about two of the studio’s upcoming projects throughout the day.

ATV Wild Ride 3D will be released in Europe, in case anyone had any doubt. When the game launches, it’ll be $10 or less. Online play and rankings are included.

Watsham also commented about Mutant Mudds Deluxe. The new content being included in the title will be exclusive to Wii U. Its levels (and any other additions) will not be ported to the 3DS version, PC and iOS editions, or any other platform.

After many years of development, Fez finally came out on the Xbox Live Arcade earlier this year. But developer Polytron isn’t stopping with just one release. According to creator Phil Fish, Fez will be ported to new platforms in 2013.

Fish wrote on the Polytron website today:

2013 is going to be an interesting one, too.

For one, FEZ will finally be ported to other platforms.

Yes, i’ve heard you, dozens of people emailing me everyday telling me how much of an idiot i am for not porting FEZ to everything.

Fish didn’t give any hints as to which systems Fez will land on. Surely though, platforms such as the Wii U eShop are among the realistic possibilities.

Given that Zen Pinball 2 didn’t land on the Wii U eShop on Thursday, there was no way it’d be released this month. So when will it launch, then?

Developer Zen Studios told one fan on Twitter that the game will be released in January. Let’s just hope there aren’t any further delays.
