Quest of Dungeons has a final release date on Wii U. In both North America and Europe, it’ll be launching on September 29. Pricing is set at $8.99 / €8.99 / £7.99. Off-TV play, the Wii U Pro Controller, and a mixed setup with the mini-map and inventory on the GamePad are all supported.

As for the 3DS version, Upfall Studios has this to say:

“I still don’t have a locked release date, but it’s close, next time I talk about it, it will be to announce when. Coordinating both versions of the game (on both regions) for a simultaneous release turned out to be a bit trickier than anticipated to the small team (1 person) but I’m nearly there, just working on some last minute issues, and I think I’ll be able to release it close to the Wii U version. When I have the final release date I’ll let you know. It will be launched simultaneously on both regions as well.”

When the 3DS version is ready, cross-buy will be supported. You’ll only need to pay for one version as long as you’re using the same Nintendo Network ID.

Nintendo Life has published an article with new details about Rusty Pup, the new game from former rare developers Chris Seavor and Shawn Pile. We’ve rounded up the notable information below.

– Been in development for 3 years
– Opening levels serve as an introduction to the game’s dark storyline
– These levels also slowly drip feed the various mechanics you’ll need to master in order to overcome later challenges
– Can’t control Rusty directly
– Guide him around using lights
– Rusty is afraid of the dark, and will move towards the nearest source of illumination
– Laying platforms, powering lifts and using various chutes located around the stage come in later
– Get cube-like “brains” that are stored in Rusty’s gut before being banked at various toilets dotted around the game
– It’s only at this point that they enter your inventory
– Need brains to open certain doors
– One later level features a cloning tool which allows you to create more Rustys – expendable dopplegangers which allow you to collect hard-to-reach brains before being sacrificed
– Game is finished when it comes to assets, engine, and core mechanics
– Some of those are still being tweaked
– Dev wants it to be challenging, but doesn’t want to put players off
– Coming to Steam first, with the iPad version possibly coming later
– Dev considered abandoning the Wii U version, but decided to stick with it since Zelda will remain on the platform
– Seavor likes the 3DS version the most since it’s in 3D and very portable, plus you have buttons and the touch-screen
– Unclear when Rusty Pup will be on Wii U, 3DS, or possibly NX
– Versions are seeing staggered releases to cover costs
– Steam version will pay for the next version
– Companion novel planned
– Next game will be less risky: “I can’t reveal the title yet, but I will say that we might be taking advantage of the Conker name; the term ‘spiritual successor’ definitely applies here. We’re not doing a Conker game as such, but we can take advantage of the legacy.”
