An adventure about the Chronus Fragments. Dungeons filled with puzzles to solve! Change classes and engage in your quest!

The Chronus Fragments are needed to prepare for the Time Rewinding, which only takes place once every 10 years. On their way to the Chronus Shrine to get the Fragments, Loka and his teacher Teth are surrounded by a mysterious man named Geppel and his gang. They demand the Fragments. While Teth plays for time, Loka, the main character, rushes out of the cave on his own to fetch reinforcements. He is successful, but Teth and Geppel are nowhere to be found.

Aiming to gather information about his missing teacher, Teth, and Geppel, who is trying to get his hands on the Fragments, Loka decides to set out on a journey with his friend Sarna.

The game features familiar quests, but also dungeons filled with puzzles to solve, and characters who grow and can be developed as the story progresses with the class change system.

FAST Racing NEO’s Hero Mode created for “Hardcore Science-Fiction Racing Fans”!

Fast Racing NEO is one of the hottest titles in the Wii U ‘Nindies’ section at EGX, which is currently taking place at the NEC in Birmingham in the UK. It’s the largest expo of its kind in the country, and the Shin’en Multimedia title is getting plenty of attention.

We’ve spent plenty of time with Martin Sauter, the Art Director on the project, to talk about the title and to also go hands on with the game. We’ll be sharing a full interview feature and videos very soon, but we did get into details on a new Hero Mode coming to the title. It’s going to be an unlockable available after some progress in the speed classes in the campaign, and is designed to offer a substantial challenge. Sauter told us the following.

  • It’s designed to pose a big challenge for experienced players
  • A key mechanic is switched up with the boost energy meter also functioning as a shield mode
  • Must finish first in the race to unlock the next

The boost gauge, which in normal modes simply charges for that extra charge of speed, will be tied to the craft’s shield. Though this title very much has its own identity, Sauter acknowledged the similarity to F-Zero. He said the difficulty means that progressing all the way through will suit “F-Zero-starved players”, saying the mode is “pretty close to F-Zero”.

Mighty No. 9 aiming for February release on Wii U!

All robot masters better watch their metal butts this winter.

Mighty No. 9 is due out February 9 in the Americas, according to developer Comcept and publisher Deep Silver. You can will hit retailers as a physical version for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U — additionally it’ll go up as a digital download for all of those systems and the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Linux, and Mac.

Mighty No. 9 is the spiritual successor to Mega Man from one of the game’s original artists, Keiji Inafune. After Inafune left Capcom, he took the idea for a Mega Man-style platformer to the crowdfunding site Kickstarter and was able to raise $3.85 million with that campaign. During development Comcept revealed it was also partnering with Deep Silver to help publish the game.

While the game is due out February 9 in the Americas, it will not go live in other territories until February 12. Comcept and Deep Silver also plan to release Mighty No. 9 on PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS handheld systems, but those version won’t go on sale until later this year.
