Twisted Fusion

Yesterday, Leuvsion (developer of the game) announced that Twisted Fusion would be released in Early October, and that it would cost $5 / £4 (and most likely 5€). The exact release date will most likely be announced pretty soon, but in the mean time, we’ve updated our Upcoming Releases page with this release window!

Gotta Protectors

Gotta Protectors (Protect Me Knight 2) was released a few weeks ago in North America. If you’re interested in the FM music pack, you will be glad to learn that it’s finally available for purchase: you can get it from the top menu in-game.

Besides the new music, this pack includes the following:

20 new maps
new difficulty (Hell+),
new illustrations for the result screen and class change system

There’s also a secret feature: if you enter the result screen while holding R, X, and Y, you will get to re-watch events (including the secret ones).

Earthlock: Festival of Magic

Yesterday, the developers of Earthlock: Festival of Magic posted the latest Kickstarter update for the game. In this one, they talk about the Wii U version, and explain they are “dead set” on releasing this version. Unfortunately, they don’t know how long it will take, though they really want to avoid missing the holiday season.

Here’s what they said about that:

We are dead set on getting the game out on Wii U. We believe our backers deserve it and on the contrary to what some say, we also believe there is still a Wii U market worth pursuing. How long it takes we don’t know, but we really, really want to launch on Wii U in good time before the holiday season. (That means November)
