Bear Box Media has announced Scribble, a Pictionary-inspired game for the Wii U eShop. It’s targeted for release before the holidays at a $4 / €4 / £3 price point.

Here’s a rundown of Scribble, straight from the developer:

It comes with over 1500 words from 17 categories, such as Objects, Places and People, and of course the customary “Difficult” category. However, it also includes an “Easy mode” category, customised specifically for children, meaning kids can play alongside adults and still take part in both drawing and guessing.

Scribble includes 5 unique modes for up to 8 players: Versus mode (all against all), Teams (Red VS Blue, team sizes 2-6), Elimination (Players take turns drawing until someone fails to guess their picture, at which point they are eliminated from the game (but can still guess other pictures)), Barricade (Blockbusters inspired mode, in which teams try to reach the opposite side of a board from their starting point) and Tug’O’Draw (A team game, but everyone guesses. Whichever team guesses scores the point, and the other team loses one. First to reach 10 points, wins.)

F-Zero X made it out on the Wii U Virtual Console in both Europe and Japan this week. Unfortunately, there seems to be significant issues here.

Many users who purchased F-Zero X on the eShop are encountering severe problems with the controls. The issues are significant enough that some are saying that the game is unplayable. It all comes down to how you maneuver your vehicle, or more specifically, the control stick sensitivity. You really need to push the analog stick far before anything happens, and there’s a deadzone of maybe 25 to 30 percent.

In case you’re curious, F-Zero X on Wii is completely fine. That version of the racer does not have these same issues.

You can read up on some of the comments players have been writing on Miiverse and Twitter below.
