JOIN MARIO AND LUIGI ON A FUN-FILLED PLATFORMING ADVENTURE IN NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. U DELUXE, OUT NOW ON NINTENDO SWITCH

Includes 164 courses which can be enjoyed by up to four players of all skill levels, while newcomer-friendly character Toadette makes her first appearance

11^th January, 2019 –Run, leap and stomp through 164 2D side-scrolling courses in traditional Super Mario style in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, out now for Nintendo Switch. Using a single Joy-Con each, up to four players* can work together to grab coins and topple enemies on their way to the Goal Pole, while in challenge mode, players must compete to see who can nab the most gold in frantic, friendly – and above all, fun – competition.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe contains both New Super Mario Bros. U and the more challenging New Super Luigi U. While seasoned players can play as iconic characters Mario, Luigi and Toad, two new characters also join the mix – Toadette and Nabbit. Younger or less-experienced players can choose to play with these new characters, as they offer extra assistance during play. When Toadette picks up a Super Crown, she turns into Peachette and can double jump, float slowly during freefall and boost back up when she falls in a pit. When playing as Nabbit, players won’t be hurt by enemies and can earn extra 1UPs at the end of stages.

On top of both adventures, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe features a variety of game modes to entertain players of all skill levels, either alone or together. Players can test their skills in dozens of varied and crafty trials designed for players of any ability. Race to the goal as fast as you can in Time Attack, grab all the coins in Coin Collection, or do your best to stay airborne by jumping on multiple enemies in 1-Up Rally. In Special, players will need to complete very particular conditions to advance, such as taking on a course without touching any enemies, coins, or cannonballs. Players can watch a series of over 200 online videos** from the game’s development team, showcasing some nifty tricks you can use to topple those tricky tests – useful for when players are stuck on a level or challenge.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is the latest title joining the wide range of software anyone can enjoy on Nintendo Switch, the unique home console from Nintendo that can be taken on the go. Nintendo Switch includes two Joy-Con controllers for multiplayer fun right out of the box, making it perfect for playing games anytime, anywhere, with anyone. The Nintendo Switch  software library includes more than a thousand titles for all tastes and experience levels, including Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! andPokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and the unique make, play and discover experience of Nintendo Labo.

Join Mario and Luigi and take on 164 courses in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, available now on Nintendo Switch. Using a single Joy-Con each, up to four players can enjoy a variety of game modes, anytime, anywhere.

War Tech Fighters Enters the Battlefield on Consoles in Q2 2019

SYDNEY, NSW — Jan. 10, 2019 — War Tech Fighters, the sci-fi mech action game from publisher Blowfish Studios and developer Drakkar Dev, hurtles through space onto Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Q2 2019.

After a devastating war, the ruthless Zatros empire claimed the home planets of the Hebos and Ares colonies. Pilots from the remnants of the shattered colonies fight fiercely for their independence in fully-customizable mechs called War Tech. Captain Nathan Romanis leads the talented squadron in their desperate struggle to reclaim their home.

Choose between the Hawk, Lynx or Rhino class (light, balanced, and heavy) War Techs and customize them with over 180 upgradeable parts and systems. Modify bullet, laser, sword, and magnetic weapons, or create a flying tank with high shields and defense. Thousands of custom paint and livery options ensure that each pilot feels ownership over their War Tech. Explore space and find hidden parts to access new War Tech sets and new weapons. Level up each mech to unlock their true potential.

A War Tech’s agility and destructive capabilities shine in space as they launch brutal assaults from long-range and narrow the gap for up close and personal sword battles and stylish execution moves. But fighting isn’t everything when it comes to War Techs. Performing high-risk stealth missions, navigating through radiation fields, intercepting coded messages and solving environmental puzzles are all in a day’s work for pilots.

War Tech Fighters brings together the fantastic mech universes of anime and Hollywood blockbusters into a fast-paced first or third-person adventure. Take down the Zatros empire across 33 single-player missions, train in the simulator, complete challenges or enter Survival mode against an unending onslaught for special rewards and fight for the top of the global leaderboards.

Exclusive to the console release of War Tech Fighters is the new Archangel War Tech special set, featuring the powerful Glory Sword, Redemption Halberd, and Faith Shield. Available from the start of the game, the Archangel can turn the tides when a mission might be too difficult with other mechs.

“As huge mecha aficionados, War Tech Fighters is our love letter to fans of the genre,” said Manlio Greco, co-founder of Drakkar Dev. “Bringing the game to new platforms lets us spread that love even further.”

War Tech Fighters releases for consoles in Q2 in English, French, Italian, German, Russian and Spanish. Blowfish Studios will feature War Tech Fighters at PAX South booth 11204, during Jan. 18-20 in San Antonio, TX.

For more information, please visit the official War Tech Fighters website.

New frontiers open up in Old School RuneScape, as its first major multiplatform content launches today on desktop and mobile

The Kebos Lowlands offer players a wealth of new activities and quests for newcomers and veterans of the game across desktop and mobile.

Thursday 10^th January 2019, Cambridge, UK – The world of Old School RuneScape is growing even bigger today with the launch of the Kebos Lowlands. The new region is the first major release for the game since it became a multiplatform title following the launch of the mobile edition in October 2018.

In addition to the new town of Brimstone, the Kebos Lowlands includes a new monster – the multi headed hydra – as well as a new slayer dungeon, a farming guild, two new novice quests and brand-new rewards. The new frontiers of the lowlands represent the most diverse content mix since the launch of Old School RuneScape nearly six years ago, with low to high-level adventures for players to explore and complete.

Continuing Old School RuneScape’s player promise as part of its ‘living game’ mission, the introduction of the Kebos Lowlands was overwhelmingly backed by the game’s community following its announcement at RuneFest 2018, with over 95 percent of those participating in the poll supporting its development and release.

Mathew Kemp, Senior Product Manager, Old School RuneScape, said:

“Today’s launch marks an important milestone for Old School RuneScape as it pushes forward with new frontiers for players. Not only does the release of the Kebos Lowlands expand the game’s continent of Zeah, the very first expansion we brought to the game since its launch in 2013, but it’s also the first multiplatform expansion ever in a RuneScape game. With Old School’s sixth birthday just around the corner, Kebos Lowlands provides a great opportunity for newcomers and veterans to explore a new environment and defeat new monsters together.”

John Colgrave, Producer, Old School RuneScape, Mobile, said:

“Old School RuneScape on mobile has had a tremendous first few months since launch, and today’s release of Kebos Lowlands as the first multiplatform expansion for the game is yet another milestone for us as developers and the wider community to celebrate. It’s the latest step in providing a deep and meaningful MMO experience on the move or from the comfort of the sofa.”
