We have a bit of bad news regarding Gunscape, Blowfish Studios’ new shooter for Wii U. Although the game was dated for March 2 on pretty much every platform today, it won’t be on the eShop until sometime in Q2 2016.
Blowfish didn’t explain the Wii U delay, but confirmed that the title will support up to 5 players in split-screen multiplayer. There will apparently be support for up to 20 players online, too. Cross-platform level sharing is enabled, meaning creations can be shared between Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and other platforms.
Here’s the latest trailer for Gunscape:

Mew, a Psychic Pokemon, will come in at level 100. It has the Synchronize ability and Pound move.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, some changes were made to Wario. One of these includes the removal of the Shoulder Ram move. Masahiro Sakurai, director of Smash Bros., spoke about this in his latest Famitsu column.
Sakurai took on one reader question regarding the Shoulder Ram move in his piece, after a fan pointed out that he now uses a backhand punch instead. When asked about the change, Sakurai responded that they wanted to make Wario stronger. Shoulder Ram was a move that made him use his own body which is his hitbox to attack, making him easier to get hit. It had no range, and it was also difficult to push opponents off the cliff with it. Since Smash Attacks, especially the horizontal ones are moves that will decide the game, it was changed to make him stronger.
Sakurai added that if the team were to cling too much to reenacting the original moves, sometimes it wouldn’t be too interesting. He indicates that, ultimately, they prioritize the fun factor over adhering to the original series’ accuracy.
LEGO games often leave hints as to what’s coming next for the series. As one example, LEGO Batman 3 teased LEGO Jurassic World. Now that LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is out in North America, some players have already completed the game and are speculating about the next LEGO title.
Above is an image taken from the credits in LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, showing Peter “Star-Lord” Quill’s cassette player and headset. It’s a noticeable hint that we could be seeing a LEGO entry with a Guardians of the Galaxy theme in the future. However, it’s not yet known if the Guardians will get their own title, or if the gang will be featured in the next LEGO Marvel game.

SteamWorld Heist has done very well for Image & Form. In fact, the indie developer says that thus far, the game “is an even bigger success than SteamWorld Dig.” This is in terms of sales, reviews, and community feedback.
Image & Form wrote the following in a new website post:
“Is SteamWorld Heist successful?
Yes, it is! So far SteamWorld Heist is an even bigger success than SteamWorld Dig. Not just in terms of sales: Reviews and community feedback are through the roof!
At the time of writing SteamWorld Heist is tied with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for the highest rated 3DS game of 2015 (not counting remakes), according to Metacritic. We have no sales figures to share today, but rest assured we’re very pleased with the numbers.
Before our inflated egos won’t fit through the front door anymore we’d like to thank you. Without your support this wouldn’t have been possible!”
In other news, SteamWorld Heist’s first update which adds French, Italian, German, Spanish and Russian translations has been delayed slightly due to time constraints. It should be out “before you know it”, and it’ll come with “new surprises and lots of polish.”
Headup Games announced today that an update has been released for Typoman. After applying the patch, preexisting and new players should notice several improvements.
