Two Tribes is in the very early stages of a new project, tentatively titled “Rewind”. The company fielded comments on Twitter today about 2D shooters and later confirmed that this is indeed the genre of the mystery project. Later in the day, Two Tribes wrote:
Thanks for all the feedback guys and girls! We just made Rewind (or whatever it's going to be named) a bit better today!

Obviously platforms aren’t being discussed at this point. But with any luck, we’ll see Rewind on the eShop!
A DLC quest Capcom intends to offer for Monster Hunter 4 lets players change up their Felynes. Buy Capcom’s magazine – known as Capbon – on September 24, enter the included code to obtain the quest, complete it, and you’ll then be able to synthesize materials to make gear. This allows you to transform the Felyne into Capbon.
For those who are unaware, Capbon the mascot for Capcom’s magazine. It’s a green salamander (or dragon) which holds on to its namesake book.
Nintendo might be preparing yet another Wii U bundle for Europe. An image spotted in a toy catalog lists the “Mario & Luigi Premium Pack” – a package that includes New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.
Nintendo has not yet confirmed the bundle. However, if the images above are correct, the product will be made available in November.

Hot on the heels of the first game, Level-5 has announced a sequel for the 3DS. Not much is known at present, but a scan (seemingly from CoroCoro) has popped up online.
Will this be a full-fledged sequel? Or more of a side-story? Unsurprisingly, this isn’t known either. It will be a sequel of some sort, though.
Level-5 released the original Youkai Watch for 3DS in Japan on July 11.
