New details regarding Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! have surfaced from a Polygon report. Read on below for the latest on the game.

– Same team behind last year’s Adventure Time game
– New storyline with 3D design
– Over 100 dungeons to explore
– 4-player co-op
– Much bigger than last year’s game
– More complex as well
– Story involves Candy Kingdom and a secret royal dungeon that Princess Bubblegum uses to hide the worst creatures from the Land of Ooo
– When these creatures start to break out of the dungeon, she calls upon Jake and Finn to venture into its depths to find out why and how they are escaping
– Play as different Adventure Time characters
– Press demo allows you to play as Jake, Finn, Marceline and Cinnamon Bun
– More characters will be revealed later
– Each player can use a character that has different stats and powers, all of which can be tweaked through game tokens
– “Where the first game was strictly a side-scrolling adventure game with a top-down mini-map, kind of like a Zelda 2, this is more of a top-down three-quarter perspective Diablo/Gauntlet-style game. But instead of having this super hardcore 100 hour RPG where you have to min-max everything, we just wanted it to be fun. We also wanted it to have enough meat there so if you were that type of gamer, you could still play it and have the fun you want.” – producer Aaron Blean
– Cinnamon Bun is a kind of tank character who can take more damage, whereas Marceline is a wizard-like character who can absorb red projectiles from afar
– Each character has innate abilities
– One boss is the Demon Cat with the power of approximate knowledge
– Boss shoots out red beams
– All characters have their own Imagination Meter
– When filled, this can be used for special attacks
– Some characters’ special attacks wipe the screen of enemies
– Others such as Cinnamon Bun drop food items all over the screen, which could then be picked up by teammates and used to restore health
– “We’ve got characters who are tanks, we’ve got a character who shoots projectiles, we’ve got melee characters and wizard-like characters, and if you play Diablo a lot you will able to spot it — you’ll see the strategy and get it right away. But if you’re not into that, you can just get in there and have fun with Adventure Time.” – game director Tomm Hulett
– Several environment types
– Gritty dungeon to an ice dungeon to one made of ancient ruins
– Out this fall

It looks like Angry Birds Star Wars will be coming to dedicated gaming systems. Amazon has listed the title for Wii U, Wii, 3DS, PS Vita, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Strangely, the Wii U version is the only console release with a $50 price tag at the moment – all others are listed at $40. The 3DS version will cost $30.

Angry Birds Star Wars will be out on October 29, according to Amazon.

Nintendo announced Pokemon Rumble U for European release earlier today. Now The Pokemon Company has followed up with a North American confirmation. Like Europe, Pokemon Rumble U will be available on the Wii U eShop in August – August 29, specifically.

Here’s how the Pokemon NFC Figures will be handled:

Pokémon Rumble U NFC Figures, based on the Toy Pokémon featured in the game, will be available to link up with Pokémon Rumble U via the Wii U GamePad. Sold exclusively at participating GameStop retail stores starting August 29th, the Pokémon that show up in Pokémon Rumble U by using an NFC Figure can grow stronger by using Coins that you receive in game. Players can even change moves or add a Special Trait to their NFC Figure so it can be one of their most dependable allies in the game. The NFC Figure can even save in-game data so you can take it wherever you go. A random assortment of eighteen Pokémon Rumble U NFC Figures, including Pikachu, Victini, Deoxys (Normal Forme), Eevee, and Genesect, will be available at GameStop for a suggested retail price of $3.99 each. Pokémon Rumble U NFC Figures are optional and are sold separately packed in a concealed capsule.

You can find more information about Pokemon Rumble U through the official announcement below.
