Sinxsoft recently took its Japanese-style RPG Cross Reverie to Kickstarter. However, the project was pulled after the studio managed to secure funding from a private investor.
Cross Reverie is targeted for launch in Q3 2016 on PC. Eventually, Sinxsoft intends to bring the game to Wii U.
You can get a look at Cross Reverie in the video below.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.
Another new multiplayer map has made its way to Splatoon. The latest addition is Camp Triggerfish, which has now been added to the rotation.
As a reminder, here’s the official map overview:
When the Inklings aren’t busy making s’mores or boondoggle key chains, they enjoy the majestic scenery afforded by camping the best way they know how – Turf War! Battles here play out across a series of bridges, which you’ll have to cross to reach your opponents’ turf.
Each team base at Camp Triggerfish is outfitted with a set of floodgates. When the gates are down, it’s easier for the other team to come and go as they please. In Turf War, the gates lower with one minute left on the clock, leading the way for late-game assaults. In Ranked Battle, they stay down so players can come and go as they please. Watch out in Tower Control! The tower’s path is almost always over water and you’ll need to show off your best squid skills to avoid getting dunked.
Gameplay from the Camp Triggerfish map can be found below.
Nintendo uploaded a fifth Japanese commercial for Splatoon that shows a whole bunch of things. We get a look at two new maps, new weapons, and the Rainmaker mode. Watch the commercial below.
The Play Nintendo YouTube account has put up the third video of its Splatoon-centric series called “Splatoon Splatter Center”. The third episode, focusing on single-player, can be seen below.
Nintendo of America executive vice president of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt commented on the state of Zelda Wii U while speaking with iDigitalTimes.
He told the site:
“We confirmed that a Zelda game, a new Zelda experience is in development for the Wii U and we have our team hard at work on that. We want that to be the best Zelda experience. Fans have been waiting for and deserve a game when it’s ready, when it’s fully featured and when it can live up to what we would like to deliver.”
Moffitt also commented on the possibility of seeing a new Metroid game on Wii U. Ultimately, he indicated that developers “decide how best to create new and different experiences.”
Moffitt said:
Metroid is really up to our game developers to decide how best to create new and different experiences. This Metroid experience [Federation Force] offers a local multiplayer feature that could be a lot of fun for game fans and we hope fans try it out and come to their own conclusions. I have nothing more to announce about a Metroid game for Wii U but let’s be happy for what we have. We’ve got something and let’s experience it and hope fans will enjoy.”
