IE Online Entertainment’s first project as an indie developer will be “Super Cordon Bleu”, the company announced today. The game is described as “a classic 2D platformer inspired by the original Super Mario Bros. series.” Precision platforming will come into play “that will hopefully test the skills of even the most hard core game masters while still providing enough charm and fun for even the most novice of gamers.”

IE Online Entertainment intends to launch a Kickstarter sometime in the future. Even if the target isn’t met, the studio tells us that Super Cordon Bleu will be completed and the title will release on both Wii U and Steam.

Secret Tunnel Entertainment has shared new details about Shapes of Gray. Primarily, we have information regarding the game’s Arcade Mode, which is showcased in the clip above.

Here’s the latest:

– Out on Wii U early next year
– Off-TV play supported
– New modes including Arcade Mode
– This has players trying to earn as high of a score as possible
– Do so by playing as quickly as possible
– At the end of each level, your remaining time will be squared, multiplied by one multiplier which reflects how many levels you’ve played without taking a hit and another which reflects your current health (x100 for 3 hearts, x50 for 2 hearts, x25 for 1 heart), and then added to your score
– No checkpoints or boss battles in Arcade Mode
– Play with the dual analog controls on the GamePad as opposed to mouse and keyboard
– The control scheme allows levels to be cleared faster

A few days ago, DarKarnage Games announced a new title for the Wii U eShop named “ZombieBoy”. Only a couple of screenshots were shared, but the indie developer has since provided actual gameplay details to Nintendo Everything – plus a look at a pair of new levels.

ZombieBoy is a 2D platformer that tasks players with collecting brains. The game features aliens as enemies that use laser guns, though you can obtain brains from humans as well. Although the current plan is to include ten levels or so, this could change “depending on a few factors”.

In ZombieBoy, “you are the only zombie trying to get to the core humanoid.” You more or less become the root to the zombie plague. However, aliens will attempt to impede your progress as they want to take over the world instead.

All of ZombieBoy’s gameplay is focused on the Wii U GamePad. Miiverse support will be included in addition to potential touchscreen features.

A release date hasn’t been determined at this time, though Darkarnage hopes to launch ZombieBoy before the end of 2014. Development is currently ahead of schedule and there are only a few bugs to address. We’ll let you know when a release date has been settled.
