Image & Form: name for next SteamWorld game coming soon, why Dig 2 isn’t being made first
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Image & Form should have news about the next SteamWorld game in the near future. CEO Brjánn Sigurgeirsson recently told CONSULGAMER that the project’s name will be revealed “quite soon”.
Sigurgeirsson also commented on why we’re not seeing SteamWorld Dig 2 next as opposed to a completely separate entry in the series. You can find all of his comments below.
I’m fortunate; I know what’s next for my team. Since December last year we’ve been working very hard on the next SteamWorld title. It’s not the next SteamWorld Dig game, it’s the next game that we’re putting out is in the SteamWorld universe. It’s the same type of characters that are the protagonists, they’re steam-driven robots, but the setting and the gameplay will be very different from SteamWorld Dig. The reason why we’re doing that instead of making SteamWorld Dig 2 is that we think that this game that we’re working on is just so much more excellent a game than I think we could make of SteamWorld Dig 2. Dig 2 will be fantastic as well, it will be bigger in every direction compared to Dig, and it has to be, since the only gripe that people have with SteamWorld Dig is that it’s kind of on the short side, but in between, before SteamWorld Dig 2 we are making this fantastic game, which is called SteamWorld “something,” we are going to announce the name quite soon, and we will keep you in the loop on that of course.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
About a year ago, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg shared a look at a brand new title. The project, which was said to be “very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games”, all but disappeared soon after.
Hörberg took to Twitter today and confirmed that his Zelda-inspired title has been cancelled. On the bright side though, he may have news to share about his actual next game in the coming days.
Hörberg wrote:
Sorry for the radio silence lately; next week there might finally be some news of my next game

Not the zelda-like game I showed a while back though, that project is unfortunately dead

kindof strange yet heart warming to see people lamenting the cancellation of an indie game they've only seen 2 gif animations of

RCMADIAX shares Poker Dice Solitaire Future screenshots and details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
RCMADIAX has shared the first screenshots and details for “Poker Dice Solitaire Future” – its latest title for the Wii U eShop. The game is due out in North America next month for $1.99.
Here’s an overview of Poker Dice Solitaire Future, straight from RCMADIAX:
I would like to introduce you to POKER DICE SOLITAIRE FUTURE, an exciting game of chance and strategy. This title is another simple to play, hard to master title from the creator of BLOK DROP U and the upcoming SUPER ROBO MOUSE. In this game, you must roll the dice to create your best poker-style hand. Winnings chips are assigned to the corresponding hand and points are awarded based on difficulty of hand played. Bonuses are given when the player has a collection of the same color chips within a given hand. Penalties are also handed out when you fail to complete an available hand. This title has fantastic replay value and is great to play off-screen while the TV is occupied.
RCMADIAX is also working on two additional card/casino/dice style games that are set to hit the Wii U eShop this summer, titled “Shut the Box” and “Toss N Go”. All three titles announced today will be bundled together in Europe under the name “Tabletop Gallery” for a price that is still to be determined.
