Xavier Orion Games hasn’t had the easiest time porting Booty Diver for Wii U. However, the indie developer confirmed today that the eShop version is still planned, and is working with TreeFall Studios to make it happen. The two sides will be collaborating on any other Wii U projects from Xavier Orion Games as well.

Xavier Orion Games is still handling actual development and publishing responsibilities. TreeFalls Studio will primarily be tasked with testing.

In a blog update, Xavier Orion Games said: “As we progress we will keep everyone updated on how close Booty Diver is to arriving on its true home Nintendo Wii U.”

We have a handful of additional art from Paper Mario: Color Splash. The gallery below shows characters, the map (including what it looks like “filled in”), and more.

GameXplain has provided us with some footage of the various boss battles included in Mario Party: Star Rush. Check out the video below for the gameplay.

Choice Provisions recently made it known that Runner3 is on the way. However, not much was said about the actual gameplay. In a new blog update, Choice Provisions did touch on what’s planned.

Runner3 will be building off of the gameplay found in the original two games. In this title, there will be “a whole new world, with ups, downs, lefts and rights, split paths, and of course forwards”. Runner3 is also getting a controlled event mechanic, in which Commandervideo controls vehicles, animals, and more.

You might have noticed that our announcement image had ABSOLUTELY no running. This is fairly silly, considering the game is called Runner3. Well I am here to tell you that we are very silly people, but also, we are silly people that have already made two running games. We need to add as many herbs and spices to this tangy sausage as possible so that we can serve it to you with maximum flavor, aroma, and aftertaste.

Making a sequel is a bit harder than you might think. We are bound to the rules of gameplay that have already been set in place. The fans have an expectation that is based off the previous game, so you need to honor that relationship. That said, you also need to reinvent and evolve the game, so it’s not the same ole bag of beans. If we aren’t careful, we can paint ourselves into a corner.

Fans are starting to receive The Legend of Zelda Trading Cards, recently released by Enterplay. You can see what some of the various cards look like below.
