Genius Sonority, makers of The Denpa Men, has teased plans for the coming year.

When asked by Japanese publication 4Gamer about 2014, president Manabu Yamana said that the studio hopes to launch “some software” that is “likely to be quite challenging in its content.”

Yamana’s comments in full:

We are hoping to release some software in 2014. I can’t say a title yet, but it is likely to be quite challenging in its content. Thank you for your time.

Genius Sonority has found a home on the 3DS eShop thanks to three Denpa Men games. Yamana told us in a recent interview that a fourth entry would be possible, but if there were to be one, he “would like to change the game style thoroughly”.

Reviews aggregator Metacritic has shared some stats about the titles released in 2013.

PS4 topped all consoles with an average metascore of 73.4 percent. Wii U was next with 72.6 percent, followed by PS3 at 70.1 percent, PC at 69.1 percent, Xbox One at 67.7 percent, and Xbox 360 at 66.9 percent.

Grand Theft Auto V was the highest-rated game of 2013 thanks to a metascore of 97 percent. The Last of Us (95 percent), BioShock Infinite (94 percent), Super Mario 3D World (94 percent) and Fire Emblem: Awakening (92 percent) were also in the top five.

You can check out Metacritic’s full report here for additional stats and information.

Thanks to Jason for the tip.

Amazon has a couple of deals worth bringing to your attention. First up, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is available for $34.99, or $25 off. You can also purchase Mario and Luigi: Dream Team for $28.49, or $11.50 off.

This retailer almost got things right! The Wii Mini is being advertised in the picture above for €99, but it’s surrounded by a prominent bin for the Mario/Luigi Wii U bundle. At least the sign does accurately label the console as “Wii Mini”!

When we last heard about The Pinball Arcade, FarSight Studios told us that the game was on track for a September 2013 release on the Wii U eShop. That month came and passed without its arrival, and there hasn’t been any news as of late.

FarSight did finally share a small update in a new year’s post shared yesterday. The Pinball Arcade is now scheduled to launch sometime in early 2014. A specific timeframe is TBD.

After a lengthy delay, the Wii U version is back on track and will be submitted to Nintendo in early 2014. Release timeframe TBD.
