Like most projects, BoxBoy! underwent some changes throughout development. The core idea of “creating boxes in order to make your way through puzzle landscapes” remained the same, according to director Yasuhiro Mukae. But there were a couple of things that changed in the final game.
Originally, HAL Laboratory was planning on creating “large stages that you could really sit down and spend a great deal of time playing.” The team also added “story elements in a move to encourage players to enjoy the game all the way through to the end.”
Mukae told Engadget:
Take a look at the latest screenshots from Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven below. The game launches early next month.

EnjoyUp Games added a new Funk of Titans trailer to its YouTube account a couple of days ago, confirming that the game is in the works for Wii U. The publisher has since sent out an official information with more details.
Funk of Titans is a platformer developed by A Crowd Of Monsters, though EnjoyUp has been handling the Wii U port. In the game, players take on the role of Perseus and are tasked with defeating Music Titans. Funk of Titans contains over 40 levels across the worlds of Pop, Rap, and Rock. It’s also possible to experiment with different weapons/helmets, and collect golden records throughout your journey.
Funk of Titans launches on the North American Wii U eShop on May 14 for $8.99. The European version is planned for early June.

When you think demons, you think about terrible sentient monsters that aim to do nothing but torture you and inevitably drive you to death. But what if you were put in a position where the very thing that’s nurtured to torment and cause perpetual trepidation becomes the cause and reason for your survival in a world that’s quickly dissipating?
Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker wants you to experience this firsthand, with an extensive and elaborate narrative that shapes itself by how you choose to respond to certain situations, whether it be during gameplay in the battlefields set all around Japan, or during a cut-scene where you’re sometimes prompted to choose how to respond when interacting with another character. This is a game that wants you to be personally invested, to the point where they let you name your character, both first name and last. You’re only given a certain amount of spaces to input your name, but most names should fit with ease like mine did – Keanu Reeves.

We don’t hear much about the Wii U Basic Set/Pack these days. That being said, it looks like Nintendo is still trying to offload some stock that never cleared out.
A Scandinavian listing has popped up for a new Wii U Basic Pack bundle, which comes with a physical copy of Splatoon. This is different than the recently-announced Premium Pack bundle.
Thanks to Andre P for the tip.
More footage from High Strageness has come in ahead of its release on the Wii U eShop this Wednesday. View it below.
