psyscrolr is launching on the North American Wii U eShop next week, and it will be fairly inexpensive. The game will set you back just $3.99.
Here’s the official overview:
psyscrolr is a unique platformer with Wii U GamePad Touch Screen elements. In this title, you will play the Scrolr, a boy who has inherited a presence from another world, which gives him psychic powers that he neither wanted nor dreamed of. In the game, you will be helped by the voice of his powers in his head, narrating what is happening as well as assisting in combat. Utilize new mechanics to pull, push, and destroy any obstacle in your way. Enjoy a hub-based layout where you can replay the levels with no penalty for death!

Five 3DS titles are on sale at Target, but you’ll need to head on over to your local store to take advantage of the deal. Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario 3D Land are $15 each. This price is valid through April 4.
Two new sales are live over on Target. First, you can purchase one game and get another at 50 percent off. Target has also reduced toys-to-life figures by 25 percent (amiibo, Disney infinity, and Skylanders). These deals should be valid in-store as well.
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is finally coming to the North American Wii U eShop this coming Thursday. But what about 3DS? Thankfully, we can say with certainty that the game is still planned for the portable as well.
Developer FreakZone Games informed me on Twitter:
@NE_Brian Yessir! Not long!

I also inquired about the possibility of cross-buy support between the Wii U and 3DS versions of Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures. FreakZone sounds hopeful in making that happen!
@NE_Brian I don't know yet, but I hope so.

In a recent podcast, Unseen64’s Liam Robertson (known for digging up information on canned games) revealed that ZombiU 2 was in development for a short period back in early 2013. A team of roughly 5-10 staffers worked on the project, which never left pre-production. Robertson said that it likely didn’t take long “before Ubisoft put their foot down” and cancelled plans for the game.
Robertson has seen one image from ZombiU 2 that offered a similar aesthetic as its predecessor. That means players would have been exploring a “run-down, zombie apocalypse setting” once again – hardly surprising!
