CoderChild has worked on a number of digital titles for the 3DS eShop, including Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot and Zombie Incident. Today, the indie developer announced its next project: “WordsUp! Academy”.
Here’s a brief overview:
“Becoming part of the Academy is not easy; its most illustrious members are waiting for you, ready to challenge you in this extraordinary puzzle and skills game. Prove your mastery of language in WordsUp! Academy… and dare to challenge them and get their approval!”
WordsUp! Academy will allow you to learn Spanish, German, English, French, Italian and Portuguese. The game will have “tens of thousands of words” as well as “6 game modes from a counterclockwise to a relaxing mode where you can test your knowledge”. Top scores can also be posted to online leaderboards.

Bandai Namco published the second Assassination Classroom: Assassin Training Plan, its upcoming Japanese 3DS game. Check it out below.
Capcom has announced the inaugural “Capcom Live!” rockestral, a new concert world tour set to begin in March.
Here’s what fans can expect:
“At “CAPCOM LIVE!” attendees can enjoy live performances of game music from more than ten Capcom masterpieces dating from the 1980s up through the present day, all completely synchronized to HD visuals. In addition to the performance of “Video Game Orchestra”—a group that combines rock and orchestral music into “rockestral” concerts and boasts high notoriety in the US—the tour will pursue sophisticated entertainment via staging that weaves together visual effects and specialized lighting. This tour differs from events that have targeted only gamers by brining to life a forward-thinking musical project that can engage music fans and general audiences as well.”
Capcom Live! will begin next month in China – March 19 in Shanghai and March 26 in Beijing. Performances will also be held in North American cities like Boston on April 9, with plans to expand into other territories next year. The goal is to have more than 30 concerts across the globe in areas including Japan, Europe, Central and South America, and Asia.
By holding these concerts, Capcom hopes to “achieve greater penetration of its brands in the broadening global game market, including emerging nations.”
There’s a new Twilight Princess HD tweet up on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. With today’s message, we get to hear a brief update from “Malo” about Poe Souls.
Here’s the full message:
“..It’s Malo. If you beat Poes who only appear at night, you can obtain the Poe Souls. Speaking of which, I heard someone in Castle Town has been wanting these… The number of spirits you’ve collected is recorded in the map on Wii U GamePad, so guys who tend to forget should be relieved too.”
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest XI has picked up a spot again, but still isn’t number one.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 4 and February 9.
