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.
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.
Update: Watsham is very likely teasing a new 3DS game announcement entirely. Last month, he did confirm that an entirely new reveal would be taking place this month.
Renegade Kid will have an announcement pertaining to a 3DS first-person shooter later this month, studio co-founder Jools Watsham has teased.
Watsham could be referring to Cult County, which was announced last year. The game in question could also be an entirely new project.
Watsham’s tweet in full is as follows:
We have a pretty big announcement coming up later this month. Something FPS lovers and 3DS owners might be happy about. 🙂
