Wunderling

Retroid Interactive have confirmed that Wunderling will be released on March 5th in Europe and North America, as listed on the Nintendo eShop. It will cost $14.99.

Here’s the launch trailer, some more details, and some screenshots for the game:

Set in a world where the player is not the hero but a low-level video game goon who has just unlocked the ability to jump, Wunderling features impeccable pixel art, non-stop action, and a memorable soundtrack by Ratvader (Oscar Sidoff Rydelius). Wunderling is all about breaking the rules and finding your own way in life. For starters, you don’t play as a traditional “hero” but as a low-level video game goon who has just unlocked the ability to jump. It turns out that the hero is actually the bad guy – known as “Carrot Man.” Playing as the title character, you are revived by your master – the evil sorceress Kohlrabi, who seeks to tighten her hold on the Vegetable Kingdom and defeat Carrot Man once and for all.

Wunderling (Switch – eShop) comes out on March 5th in Europe and North America.

Hazel Sky

Here’s a few more details about Hazel Sky:

Sent to the flying City of Gideon, Shane must pass the ultimate test that every Engineer must take before taking the honored role —otherwise, he will face banishment. To pass the Trials, Shane will have to fix all kind of ramshackle flying machines and explore a gorgeous but also enigmatic world. However, Shane won’t be alone; connected via radio with a fellow trainee engineer, they will strike up an illicit friendship that will change the way he sees the world.

Hazel Sky (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

Here’s a few more details about Kefla, the latest DLC character for Dragon Ball FighterZ:

Exuding supreme confidence and power, Kefla is definitely someone you don’t want to mess with unless you’ve got the strength and skill to deal some heavy attacks her way. Born from the fusion of Caulifla and Kale, Kefla is always ready for battle, never backing down from a good fight… even with the likes of Goku. Her youthful demeanor means she’s ready to challenge elders at the drop of a hat. How will the other DRAGON BALL FighterZ characters react to the arrival of Kefla?

Kefla will be available in Dragon Ball FighterZ from February 28th, with FighterZ Pass 3 owners getting early access starting today.
