The last brand-new entry in the StarFox series came around almost 8 years ago. We've seen StarFox 64 3D remade for the 3DS since then, but we've gone far too long without a brand-new adventure for Fox and friends. It certainly seems like Nintendo isn't sure what to do with the franchise anymore. After hearing Miyamoto saying that the series' future depended on how well the 3DS remake sold, I'm worried we may never see the StarFox team in a solo adventure again.

"I've watched the other two, how hard can it be?"

Low-altitude indie action game Race the Sun is due to hit the PlayStation console family this year, developer Flippfly announced today.

Race the Sun is a high-speed racing game in which players skim a minimalist landscape in pursuit of a sinking sun, which powers their craft with its rays. The game's landscape regenerates daily, giving players new challenges and new leaderboard rankings to climb every 24 hours. The PlayStation Network version also introduces new landscape types not found in the game's original PC release.

Race the Sun will be released as a Cross-Buy title for the PlayStation 4, PS3, and PS Vita this summer.

You can blame this week’s title on one Matthew Parsons, who delivered this image of “pig” aka “the plushie that is occasionally called Arnold.” On top of sending in a community stuffed animal, Mr. Parsons also shot a picture of said cuddly toy’s round-cheeked owner. In a bucket. Yes, there’s a picture of a little girl with a bucket on her head in my inbox. I am dead from cute. Anyway, have some cheaply priced bundles of joy in honour of Mr. Parsons’ bundle of joy.

Dead Alien Cult is a studio formed by veterans of the God of War franchise and PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. If I found myself in a pub quiz faced with a team called Dead Alien Cult, I’d probably quit on the spot and hand them the stout-stained Victory Tankard myself. For their debut title, The Cult (as I’m affectionely calling them) are creating a top-down Smash TV-Gauntlet-Roguelike hybrid called Viking Ghost.

Wikipad 7, the Android gaming tablet with attachable controller, now costs $200 in the US, down from its $250 launch price. So far, Best Buy offers the updated price, and other retailers are expected to follow suit soon, along with stores in other regions around the world.

Wikipad 7 includes the Android Jelly Bean OS, 16GB memory with a slot to add 32GB more, and more than 250 games in the store (no, Wikipedia is not one of them). See a list of controller-supported games here.

Wikipad launched in the US in June 2013, after a delay from October 2012. In February 2013, the Wikipad team dropped plans for a $500, 10-inch tablet to make the cheaper, 7-inch model on the market now. [Image: Wikipad]

Berlin-based indie developer Thesetales launched a Kickstarter project and Steam Greenlight page for its roguelike game Proven Lands this week. The third-person sci-fi game is available to check out in its pre-alpha state in a proof of concept PC demo.

Proven Lands features an optional five-episode main story arc in which players control Teruo Nakamura, named after a real-life soldier of the Japanese Imperial Army "who did not surrender until 1974." The game also includes an AI-driven story engine that generates a "one-off adventure" based on randomly-generated elements. Thesetales cites Don't Starve and Starbound among its inspirations, which is readily apparent in the hunt-and-gather style gameplay shown in its Kickstarter pitch video. A recent update on the project's crowdfunding page notes plans for multiplayer modes in some capacity as well.

Thesetales is seeking £299,000 ($497,177) by April 12 to bring Proven Lands to PC in the first quarter of 2015, followed by Mac and iOS in the second quarter, then Linux and Android at a later date. Those that pledge roughly $15/£9/11 euros will receive a digital copy of the game when it launches. [Image: Thesetales]

The headline is a quote from the trailer for the recently translated Shikihime Garden, which isn’t a brand new game at all. However, since the English language version has just gone live, this is good a time to talk about it as any. It’s a free-to-play browser-based (or Book of Faces) game, which may well avoid certain free-to-play sins thanks to the absence of paid-for boosters. You can’t pay your way to the top and the game instead rewards skill and ‘patience’. The cynic in me is barking about the similarities between the patient man and a grindstone. As for the activities involved, they range from deck building and turn-based combat to gardening.

Indie developer Dead Alien Cult introduced its first game on Steam's Greenlight service this week, Viking Ghost. The developer comprises four people, two of which are former PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale developers: Andrew Marquis and John Lawrence.

Viking Ghost is listed as an "Arcade Action Adventure-Dual Stick Shooter-Dungeon Crawler-Rogue-Like-Lite" game with weapons, abilities and an experience point-based upgrade system. The developer cites the Zelda series, The Binding of Isaac and Spelunky among its inspirations for the game, which has eight locations and procedurally-generated levels that liven up every playthrough.

Marquis and Lawrence's former developer Superbot parted ways with Sony in February 2013 before downsizing in April. [Image: Dead Alien Cult]

Coming from the BFG Facebook page...

We made the patch a while ago but in the LOT-check (every patch has to go through submission) Nintendo experienced a disconnect between WiiU and pad. One we can't reproduce. So everything for a while now is about this reconnect 'bug' and if the issue is on Nintendos side or on our side. The sound issue itself is solved for a while. We believe to figure everything out with Big N in March. That's what is going on.

Thanks to Connor for the heads up!
