This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s episode, Kit and Krysta start off a new series called “Backlog Buster”. The first game they’re tackling is EarthBound having not played it before. Check out the full episode below.
Yesterday, SpaceRoads released on the North American Wii U eShop. Find a trailer for the title below.
Closing out our Pocket Card Jockey is one last look at the game. Catch a final 85 minutes of footage below.
Update (5/6): Bumped to the top. GameStop now lists a July 31 release date for the controller. Additionally, the page says there are “limited quantities”.
Original (5/3): We reported yesterday that the Pikachu version of the Pokken Tournament controller would be heading to North America. GameStop has now followed up by opening online pre-orders here. Given the “Only at GameStop” label, this appears to be a retailer exclusive.
There’s also the May 7 release date that we previously mentioned. I’m still not convinced that the controller is coming out this week, but I suppose stranger things have happened!
Thanks to Corey A for the tip.
Paper Monsters Recut developer Mobot Studios has announced Demongeon, a challenging 2D platformer in development for Wii U.
Here’s an overview:
Demongeon is a punishing platformer that will push your skills to the max. You play as a demon that has been summoned and captured by an evil alchemist. To avoid being tortured and used, you must escape his trap filled dungeon. Demogeon uniquely combines the challenge of level-based platforming into one large adventure style level with just enough hints of metroidvania gameplay to keep you wanting more! For the hardcore gamer, there is unlcokable speedrun and survival modes. In survival mode you get one life to see how far you can make it!
Demongeon is due out sometime this summer. A trailer for the game is posted below.

There’s a lot involved with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. On top of the base game, last years’ Kickstarter reached stretch goals for features like various modes, local co-op, and more.
How will Bloodstained go about bringing out all of its content? It sounds like the team will be adopting a staggered release, meaning we’ll see the base game first followed by additional content. That should help avoid a major wait, and the experience will be kept fresh over time with new features.
IGN has more footage available from the just-released Pocket Card Jockey. See some additional gameplay in the video below.

It delves into the style used, and touches on how the video shows the everyday lives of Fox and his team as they relax on the Great Fox. There’s even some concept images, too.
