In the video, they also explain why it took so long for SteamWorld Heist to show up on Wii U, and why the GamePad is the perfect fit for the game (map, Off-TV, etc.). They also talk about Nintendo publishing their games, and what it means to them.
As for the hat DLC…

There’s also the usual Q&A corner, where they answer various questions, but they don’t reveal anything major. That being said, they do confirm that their next project will be a SteamWorld game. Oh, and don’t watch till the end for a giveaway!
In the next episode, they will unbox some of the goodies they’ve received from fans.
