Astral Breakers is coming to the Wii U eShop, indie developer Intropy Games has announced. The action-puzzle game is scheduled to launch in June.
Below is a brief overview:
The Zodiac Constellations have gone berserk, putting the entire cosmos in jeopardy. Out of options, the cantankerous Kira the Star is forced to recruit none other than you to help put things back in order.
Choose from any of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac and start fighting for the future of the cosmos in an epic sphere-splitting, breaker-bashing, combo-crushing puzzle battle!
In Astral Breakers, players are tasked with filling their opponent’s playfield with Astral Spheres. This is done by destroying Spheres on their own playfield using Breakers, which sends them to the opposition. Victory is achieved when the opponent’s playfield is full.
Intropy Games is also including a Super Nova mode. Here players “work together to prevent an exploding star from dropping metric tons of spheres on BOTH players’ fields”. It’s also possible to create unique Zodiac Signs in the Custom Zodiac mode.
Here’s the full rundown of Astral Breakers’ features:
A fully-featured action puzzle drop game for one or two players.
Challenge the AI in a head-to-head battle, or help Kira save the cosmos in Story Mode.
Battle a friend in Versus mode.
Choose from 12 different Zodiac Signs, each with unique properties.
Create your own Zodiac Sign complete with customized name and attack pattern.
Team up in the cooperative SuperNova mode.

Theatrhythm Dragon Quest will feature over 60 tracks, according to producer Ichiro Hazama.
Hazama and composer Koichi Sugiyama were interviewed in a Japanese magazine recently. During the discussion, Hazama said that there will be roughly 5-6 tracks per game, given that there are ten entries in the Dragon Quest series.
Hazama also teased downloadable content for Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. The team will be listening to user feedback following the game’s launch to determine which songs to release, he said.
In case you’re wondering, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy has more than 70 songs from 13 games while Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call features 221 tracks.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Hyrule Warriors is one of those Wii U games that has managed to hold its value pretty well. Despite having launched in September, there haven’t been a whole lot of major sales.
You can at least save a bit of cash on Hyrule Warriors by ordering the game from Amazon
. It’s dropped to $48.98, which is $10 off the normal asking price.
Devil’s Third creator Tomonobu Itagaki talked up the Wii U game a bit more on his personal Facebook page.
There’s nothing too major here, but Itagaki does mention that you should use the Pro Controller while playing Devil’s Third. He also mentioned how it’s much different compared to what was shown back in 2011. That makes sense given what we saw during E3 last year.
Below is a roundup of Itagaki’s latest Facebook remarks:

Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut was confirmed for Wii U back in April 2013. It’s been nearly two years, but the game still hasn’t launched on the eShop. So what’s going on?
We reached out to Toxic Games recently, and the studio’s Dan Da Rocha told us that Q.U.B.E “has taken longer than expected”. However, the team is “on track to release April/May time across all consoles (apart from 360).” Only a few more months!
