Project Ukulele art
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Project Ukulele – the Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor from Playtonic – is featured in this month’s EDGE. The magazine shares concept art, which you can find above.
In the magazine, Playtonic lead and Gavin Price said: “There’s been so much pent-up passion for doing something like this, because we’ve all been sat on a lot of these ideas since Banjo-Tooie came out.”
The next step for Playtonic is to make a proof-of-concept. The company will then upscale to an “N64-size” team of between 10 to 15 staff, and several former Rare employees are in waiting on these positions.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Mobot Studios revealed the mini action-platformer “Super Kid Ninja” for iOS today. We asked the developer if a Wii U version is in store as well.
Mobot said in response:
@NinEverything I don't want to get hated off the eShop. We have something else coming very soon for Wii U. Super Polished 3D mini platformer
— Fletcher (@MobotStudios) February 12, 2015
So it seems that Wii U isn’t getting Super Kid Ninja, but we’ll be seeing this interesting 3D mini platformer instead. That works for me!

Curve bringing The Swindle to Wii U later this year
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Curve Digital has yet another game planned for Wii U. The Swindle, a steampunk heist game developed by Size Five Games, will be released on the console (and other platforms) later this year.
Here’s the official overview:
The Swindle is a mixture of platform, action and stealth gameplay. Players will be breaking into buildings, hacking their systems, stealing their cash and then charging to the nearest exit to the sound of alarms and breaking glass. The buildings and levels you’ll be exploring are all procedurally-generated, and players will be able to upgrade their thief with new skills and tools after every job allowing them to take on bigger buildings with more elaborate security.
The Swindle was first announced for PC back in 2011, and ended up being cancelled since Size Five Games owner Dan Marshall was unable to make the various elements hold together in a way he was pleased with. However, after fans expressed their disappointment, it was resurrected last October. This new version has been completely rebuilt and focuses on procedurally-generated thieves and levels.
Check out a trailer for The Swindle below.
