This shouldn’t come as a surprise given the multiplayer nature of Killer Freaks, but it looks like we have a confirmation that Ubisoft’s shooter will include online play.

Senior software engineer Olivier Cado is currently working on the possible Wii U launch title. In his LinkedIn profile, he Cado listed his role as an online/multiplayer programmer.

Surely we’ll receive more details about Killer Freaks during E3 next month.

The Indie Game Magazine reports that Cloudberry Kingdom is in development for Wii U. The game will be released on the console in December, presumably through the console’s equivalent to the 3DS eShop. It’ll also be heading to Steam in September.

You can take a look at Coudberry Kingdom in action in the video above.

What’s this? An actual new, Wii U game announcement? Yes, it’s true!

Ubisoft Quebec is readying “Avengers: Battle for the Earth” for Wii U and Kinect. A domain name for the title was discovered just a few days ago.

Characters such as Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, and Thor will be included. Over 20 characters are being added to the game’s roster.

Avengers: Battle for Earth won’t be related to the recent movie. It’s actually based on the “Secret Invasion” comic series.

Tony Key, Ubisoft’s vice president of sales and marketing, said:

“The idea that we’re making a motion-control version of ‘The Avengers’ is a unique proposition if you compare that to superhero games of the past. This is the perfect type of game for that because these characters are very action oriented. They’re always fighting and throwing things.”

Ubisoft hasn’t provided a release date, but it’s expected to ship after the Wii U arrives.

In a blog post detailing Timbletot’s inclusion in Bit.Trip Runner 2, Gaijin Games included one tidbit that we can only assume is a tease for Wii U.

Mike Roush wrote the following to close out his update:

“Wii have a few fun little updates coming for U, so keep your EYES out!!!”

Gaijin Games has hinted at a Wii U version of Bit.Trip Runner 2 many times before. The company may finally be able to announce something for the console during E3, which will take place in less than a month.

Timbletot originally appeared in the first Bit.Trip Runner title as a boss. You can find a two pieces of enemy art here.
