Two Brothers has been out on PC for some time, but AckkStudios hasn’t said much about the Wii U version as of late. No need to worry though: the game is still coming to Nintendo’s console.

On Twitter earlier today, AckkStudios confirmed that Two Brothers is still in the works for Wii U. Keep in mind that it’s being worked on by “another developer” who apparently handles Wii U ports quite well.

Twisted Fusion, a new open-world action platformer coming from one-man developer Leuvision, is heading to the Wii U eShop.

Twisted Fusion stars Cora, a girl who is stranded on a new world with strange creatures. She’s trying to find her way home, but an enemy shrouded in darkness won’t make things easy.

The game features a day/night system and weather system. Furthermore, environments change based on what the time of day/weather is.

Bigger enemies will appear at night. Also, enemies become much angrier when it’s raining. Cora will wield dual water pistols to take down foes.

“The whole world is connected without level select, but you don’t need to backtrack to progress,” creator Lewis Pugh told NintendoWorldReport. “Certain areas of the game can also be completed out of order.”

Twisted Fusion will be available in Q4 2014.

Since the first Assassin’s Creed, we’ve seen at least one new entry in the series released in some form or another. Wondering why that’s so?

Aside from the obvious reasons – such as the fact that it makes total financial sense for Ubisoft – the company’s vice president of creative Lionel Raynaud also says yearly Assassin’s Creed games are put out due to fan interest. “As long as this is true we would be very stupid to not satisfy this need”, Raynaud told EDGE.

His comments in full:

“We are able to offer people a new Assassin’s Creed every year because they want Assassin’s Creed every year. As long as this is true we would be very stupid to not satisfy this need, but it puts a lot of pressure on us to create something that will never disappoint.

It needs to keep the series core values and we need to really make sure that we have a good, high level understanding of what it is to be an Assassin. We have to make sure we always deliver a better feel and overall experience every time while still bringing something that they haven’t seen before that’s consistent with being an Assassin in the world we’ve created.”

Could Castlevania and F-Zero be joining the Wii U’s Virtual Console lineup? That’s what these two recent classifications by the Australian government seem to suggest. Neither game was originally released down under, meaning there’s no existing classification to use – unlike Advance Wars, Golden Sun and the other Game Boy Advance titles heading to the service. Given that the publisher is listed as Nintendo in both cases, it looks like Wii U owners will soon be able to play one of the best entries in the Castlevania series, along with that F-Zero game based on the F-Zero anime series based on the F-Zero games. That said, I’d take any hints of future Virtual Console releases with a grain of salt – I’m still waiting on that localisation of The Mysterious Murasame Castle, after all.
