MUST-HAVE INDIE TITLES COME TO RETAIL AS NINTENDO eSHOP SELECTS ON OCTOBER 1 IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

FAST Racing NEO and the SteamWorld Collection to bring high-speed action, exploration, and intergalactic adventure to Wii U

26^th July, 2016 – Since the introduction of the Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family systems, Nintendo has continued to grow and cultivate its relationship with indie developers. On October 1 in Australia and New Zealand, this commitment to supporting great indie games and getting quality games in the hands of players come together with the retail launch of Shin’en Multimedia’s FAST Racing NEO and Image & Form’s SteamWorld Collection as Nintendo eShop Selects titles for Wii U (SRP AU$49.95 each).

FAST Racing NEO sees players race through a futuristic sci-fi world at incredible speeds, putting their skills to the test in anti-gravity vehicles. With a challenging single-player mode, four-player split-screen or eight-player online, pilots race through dense jungle areas, futuristic cities, abandoned mines in the depths of the earth, and finally up into the stratosphere and beyond.

There’ll be even more tracks to enjoy with the Nintendo eShop Selects version of this release, as the eight downloadable courses contained in the upcoming NEO Future Pack will be included on the disc. The NEO Future Pack will also be made available for owners of the download version to purchase from October 1 in Australia and New Zealand.

The SteamWorld Collection will also be part of the Nintendo eShop Selects range, and represents the first time both SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist will be available in the same retail package. SteamWorld Dig sees the player take on the role of Rusty, a lone mining steambot, as he arrives at an old mining town in great need. By digging through the old earth, players can gain riches to unlock upgrades for exploring new areas, all the while getting closer to the ancient threat that lurks below.

In SteamWorld Heist, the other title in the SteamWorld Collection, you command a steam-driven pirate crew in a series of epic tactical shootouts. It’s turn-based strategy with an action twist: you manually aim the guns of your robots, allowing for impressive skill shots and bullet-bouncing action. As Captain Piper you will board, loot and shoot your way through enemy spaceships. Overcome the challenges of the vast frontier by upgrading your recruits with unique abilities, weapons, and even stylish hats!

The SteamWorld Collection will also include the SteamWorld Heist add-on content The Outsider, providing a new ally with a past shrouded in mystery, as well as new missions with brand new weapons, gear, and snazzy new headwear. SteamWorld Heist for Wii U will also launch on Nintendo eShop on Wii U on October 1 in Australia and New Zealand.

As Nintendo eShop Selects, these titles will sit alongside Nintendo Land, Wii Party U, LEGO City: Undercover, and New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U as part of the Nintendo Selects range available on Wii U.

Wii U owners will have a new opportunity to enjoy Nintendo eShop highlights when FAST Racing NEO and SteamWorld Collection come to retailers in Australia and New Zealand as Nintendo eShop Selects on October 1.

RUNEFEST 2016 JOURNEYS TO THE EASTERN ISLES AS TICKETS CLOSE TO SELLING OUT IN RECORD TIME

RuneScape heads east with a new archipelago continent and a new venue for its annual community convention

Tuesday 26^th July 2016, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape is setting sail for a brand new continent this October – The Eastern Isles – and RuneFest 2016, the iconic game’s fan convention, is set to celebrate the upcoming Polynesian-inspired destination! Taking place on Saturday 17^th September at London’s Battersea Evolution, RuneFest 2016 will take attendees on an epic journey across the seas to the new oceanic land of islands. Demand for tickets, which went on sale a fortnight ago, has meant the community event is approaching selling out in record time.

An initial segment of the continent, The Arc, opens today and contains the islands of Whale’s Maw, Waiko and Aminishi islands anchoring many other smaller islets. On these islands, the indigenous people have never heard of the player’s adventures, so gamers will have to start afresh, building back up their wealth and notoriety – even long-term players will be on a level playing field.

In addition to sharing further information about The Eastern Isles, RuneFest 2016 will see a barrage of main stage announcements, covering the latest news and future plans forRuneScape, Old School RuneScape, Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, and more. Festooned in the finery of the Eastern Isles, RuneFest attendees can expect to participate in themed activities, including a cosplay parade, challenges, Q&A sessions with key developers, meet and greets, a huge after-party, and a raft of other distractions and diversions.

“We can’t wait to meet up with our fellow ‘Scapers at RuneFest 2016 as they join us for an intrepid celebration as RuneScape pushes new horizons. We’ll be showcasing the new frontiers of the Eastern Isles and announce some of new content heading to RuneScape in the year ahead,” said David Osborne, lead designer, RuneScape. “We’ll also be unveiling our plans for other games in the family, including Old School RuneScape and its ever growing popularity in the eSports sector, mobile versions of Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, and the upcoming 0.5-player game, RuneScape: Idle Adventures.”

Lucky RuneScapers – and those looking to secure their journey to the Eastern Lands – can find further information about RuneFest 2016 by visiting www.runescape.com/runefest .
