We’ve yet another indie game headed to Wii U with the help of fundraising stretch goals, this time the Castlevania-inspired Odallus: The Dark Call. Take a look at the screenshot above (or the details below!) for a better idea of what this game is like, and click here to support the game’s $55,000 Wii U stretch goal.

According to the IndieGogo page, the game will feature non-linear levels, five different areas, hordes of demons, and huge bosses. It’s estimated to launch in mid-2014.

News regarding additional DLC for Injustice: Gods Among Us will be revealed during the Evolution Championship Series, NetherRealm Studios boss Ed Boon confirmed through Twitter.

He wrote:


Evo 2013 will be taking place between July 12 and July 14. If I were to guess, we’ll be hearing something about a new character.

GamesIndustry recently caught up with three major third-party publishers to discuss Wii U. Ubisoft, Activision, and EA shared a few thoughts about the console while speaking with the outlet.

One of the more troubling items to emerge from the discussion concerns ZombiU. The game wasn’t even close to being profitable, according to Ubisoft. The company therefore has no plans or interest in making a sequel currently. ZombiU’s poor performance was also one of the reasons why Rayman Legends turned into a multiplatform title.

You can find commentary from the three publishers below.



Young Justice: Legacy developer Freedom Factory is working on a new project for Wii U titled “Bloodbath”. A trailer was released a few months ago, but the game only recently popped up in the news.

An official game description reads:

BloodBath is a 3rd person Hack’n’Slash set in a dystopian future where a violent bloodsport is the only outlet for the frustration of society. Select your Pit Dog and prepare to fight all around the world against merciless adversaries in dangerous arenas full of death traps and hazards. Enjoy a Multiplayer experience like no other in “Bloodbath”
