Exciting news! Nintendo are featuring Cubemen 2 for Wii U on their booth at next week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Cubemen 2 for Wii U, published by Nnooo and developed by 3 Sprockets, is being featured as part of a showcase of indie games made using Unity Pro for Nintendo’s Wii U console.

Our own Nic Watt will be on hand to demonstrate Cubemen 2 at the Nintendo booth from 2pm-6pm on Wednesday March 19 and between 10am-2pm on Thursday March 20. If you are attending GDC come along to see how well Cubemen 2 plays on the Wii U.

After visiting the Nintendo booth why not take a look at 3 Sprockets’ new game, Fight the Dragon? Winner of a GDC Best in Play 2014 award, this 3D hack n’ slash RPG will be showcased at GDC Play on the Play Tabletop 313 booth in the North Hall. This is your chance to get hands-on with the latest build of this game.

Holy crap. Just read that the name of one of the #DKCTF's final levels (Meltdown Mayhem) was mentioned in one of DKC2's Swanky quizzes.

But the same Nvidia GM107 chip rebadged Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M and stuffed into a laptop? Suddenly, things get a whole lot more interesting. The specifics aren’t official yet. But it looks like GM107 might just deliver twice the performance for the same power budget as its predecessor and that’s pretty exciting for thin-and-light gaming lappies. And remember, this is just the beginning for Maxwell – the arrival of second-gen 20nm Maxwell mobile GPUs could be spectacular. While we’re here, I thought a beginners guide to mobile GPUs would be useful for some of you. What with all the branding shenanigans both Nvidia and AMD get up to in the mobile space, keeping track of what’s actually on offer isn’t always easy. … [visit site to read more]

Here’s a novel puzzle game, with a deeply peculiar name. Dynetzzlle – seemingly crafted in a special laboratory to be the most forgettable, irrelevant, and impossible to remember how to spell game name of all time – is based around unfolded dice.
