Adventures of Pip won’t be launching this month as originally expected. In a new Kickstarter update, developer TicToc Games confirmed that the game has been delayed to June.

We are sad to announce that Adventures of Pip’s release date for both Steam and the WiiU (NA) has been pushed back to June 2015. We’re finalizing the build and locking in a new release date before making any future announcements. We will continue to update you guys on any news regarding any release date announcements across all platforms.

We apologize for the date change so late in the game, but never fear, Pip will be coming to your favorite platform soon!

Adventures of Pip was last scheduled for May 14. We should be hearing about a new release date fairly soon.

BeautiFun Games is including an original mode in the Wii U version of Nihilumbra. Players will be able to try out new co-op mode, which appears to be exclusive to the eShop release.

While in co-op, one player will control Born while a second will control the brush/colors. Both will need to work together to escape from the Void. BeautiFun believes the mode “will add a whole new layer of fun to the game” and “seemed a clever way of exploiting the Wii U technology to enhance the Nihilumbra experience”.

We heard earlier today that Nihilumbra is due out on May 14 in North America. This date has now been confirmed for Europe as well. As is the case in North America, those who buy the game through May 28 can save 20 percent. It will normally be priced at $9.99 / €8.99.

Ratalaika Games is bringing its indie game “Guardians of the Forest” to Wii U, and it could land on 3DS as well.

Guardians of the Forest is a multiplayer brawler that takes place in a mystical woods. Players beat enemies by jumping on their heads. Different weapons and power-ups will mix things up by introducing unique ways to enhance abilities and receive protection from attacks.

In an interview with HackInformer, Ratalaika Games discussed how Guardians of the Forest will play on Wii U:

Well, for the Wii U controller we have several plans. We didn’t want to just throw the game on the Wii U controller screen like you will be playing on the TV. So we will probably add the current game scores and some handy buttons when on the menu. Even though we will allow the player to see the game on their controller like on TV if he or she wants to.

Ratalaika has also expressed interest in making a 3DS version of Guardians of the Forest, but nothing is confirmed at this time. You can check out some alpha gameplay below.

Yooka-Laylee’s Kickstarter hasn’t slowed down since launching on Friday. The campaign has smashed through another two stretch goals within the past day or so. Playtonic will now create a N64 shader mode, a credits “GK Rap + Video” written by Grant Kirkhope, and a developer walkthrough/commentary video.

Yooka-Laylee is closing it at nearly $1.9 million on Kickstarter. 44 days remain before the Kickstarter campaign ends, so there’s plenty of time for additional stretch goals. The latest one, coming in at £1.5 million, will allow for an orchestral score.

Head on over to this page for the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter.
