Indie developer Red Column is back with another update on its Wii U game 3Souls. Today’s video – posted below – gives us a look at co-op.

Here’s a breakdown of the new co-op mode:

This mode will be able to be activate it during the entire game. By doing so, you will add another player to get the control of the character (Nelesa in the first episode) and control her steps through the platforms with the Wii Remote or Pro Controller. The second player, will remain with the Wii U GamePad to stay in charge of the soul, informing of the thoughts and feeling of the character, and connecting to the portals of the world to be able to solve the puzzles of the game with the features of the Wii U GamePad.

This will be perfect for those who are not really good at platform and prefer the puzzles, or the other way around, sharing the experience of the game with a friend.

It will also show a different way of enjoy the game, forcing you to coordinate with the other player that knows the information on where you jump or where to go, information that you can only obtain on the Wii U GamePad.

Red Column hopes to have 3Souls’ first episode known as Nelesa out by the end of June or beginning of July. It’s already with Nintendo for lot check.

Update (5/23): The servers are now back up and running (thanks Squirrelisious). Crisis averted?

Original (5/22): Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Reflex Edition players are now unable to experience the game’s online multiplayer. The servers went down recently, and Activision support has not responded to any inquiries on the situation since. It’s now absolutely confirmed, but it would seem that this permanent as opposed to a temporary issue.

Call of Duty: Black Ops can’t be played online either. That means Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the only Wii entry in the series available for online play.

River City Ransom: Underground was once under consideration for both Wii U and 3DS. The game’s Kickstarter missed out on stretch goals for both platforms, but Conatus Creative still expressed interest in bringing the game to those two systems.

Wii U and 3DS are still possibilities for River City Ransom: Underground, but things are less certain now. The developer told ntower, “We have no immediate plans for Wii U or 3DS but will re-evaluate based on sales on Windows, then decide which platforms make the most sense to port next.”

We do at least know that there is one River City-related title guaranteed for a Nintendo platform. River City: Tokyo Rumble will be on 3DS this summer.
