Churbles is coming to Wii U following a modification of the game’s Kickstarter stretch goals. Developer CrashGem set the console versions at $24,000 yesterday – which has already been reached – and so we’ll be seeing Churbles on Nintendo’s system, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The title is tentatively planned for release in late 2014.
Nintendo’s own internal studio wasn’t the only team working on The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft was involved with the project, too. Before A Link Between Worlds, Monolith contributed to another Zelda title: Skyward Sword.

Digital Foundry’s latest tech investigation focuses on Batman: Arkham Origins. Unfortunately, Wii U was deemed the worst version out of the bunch, with the publication saying Origins suffers “considerably worse performance than the other formats.” The game simply doesn’t offer a steady frame rate.
