BlitWorks has ported some big indie titles to Wii U. The studio just brought Super Meat Boy to the eShop last month, and previously worked on Don’t Starve as well as Badland. They’re not stopping there though. BlitWorks is currently cooking up Wii U versions of the Metroid-esque Axiom Verge and the F-Zero-inspired racer The Next Penelope.
We recently caught up with BlitWorks co-founder Ángel Horna to learn more about BlitWorks and what it’s like porting games to Wii U. Horna spoke about why the eShop version of Super Meat Boy wasn’t an entirely easy task (and how it came about in the first place), gave updates on The Next Penelope as well as Axiom Verge, and much more.
Head past the break for our full discussion.

Splatoon will be adding Sheldon’s Picks Vol.2 in just a few days. Nintendo is continuing to show off weapons that are coming to the game with screenshots and details.
Here are a few screenshots showing the Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose, CoroCoro Splat Roller, and Sploosh-o-matic 7:
And overviews of each:
Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose
Check out the super sweet Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose. The Splash Wall sub weapon lets you leverage the great range of the main, while the Bubbler is perfect for turning the tables in a pinch.
As Sheldon puts it: “It’s super cute with its fruity color scheme and cherry-themed sticker!”

It’s been awhile since Super Smash Bros. for Wii U hit store shelves, but folks are still finding some interesting tidbits about the game. Random Talking Bush has come across two trophy changes in the Japanese release.
First, Lyn’s trophy was modified a bit. In the gallery below you’ll see that her skirt spacing was lessened, and the legs were darkened near the hips compared to the US version. Wonder Pink also had a trophy change, but it was much more drastic. She actually has an entirely different pose.
