New features are coming sometime in May.

A variety of new features and content will be coming to Steel Diver: Sub Wars by the end of May, game director Takaya Imamura has announced via Miiverse.

The development team is referring to the future update as "Version 2.0." There are several tweaks planned, including basic fine-tuning of the submarines' stats and the addition of a new multiplayer stage.

It's a secret, though.

Nintendo of America and Creative Integrated Systems Inc. have recently settled on a $7 million lawsuit.

Creative sued Nintendo, claiming that Nintendo had infringed their read-only memory chip patent, which was filed in 1990. Over 15 years, Creative felt that Nintendo owed at least a 2 percent royalty per chip for damages of $7 million.

Developer Renegade Kid “discussing other options.”

Renegade Kid’s ambitious crowdfunding initiative for first-person survival horror game, Cult County, has ended unsuccessfully.

The developer was asking for $580,000 via Kickstarter to fund multiplatform development for the title, including planned releases for Wii U and 3DS. At campaign’s end, pledges totaled a mere $46,736, less than 10% of what was needed.

A flurry of rumors has prompted a response from the company.

Nintendo has confirmed that no new hardware announcement is planned for E3 this year. The company has reiterated this position to multiple news sites who had reported on rumors that the unveiling of a new console or console iteration would happen at this year’s event.

A combination of factors led to these rumors gaining traction across the internet over the past several days.

Now Leuvsion can get to splashin'.

The Wii U exclusive, Twisted Fusion, was successfully funded and then some via Kickstarter.

Though the Kickstarter campaign resulted in over 130% of the £3,000 goal, PayPal payments are still being accepted. Donations of £7, £30, and £50 will continue to earn backers the original Kickstarter rewards.

New Door tool opens up a world of possibilities.

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes will introduce a Door tool for the Toy Box that will allow players to enter the structures they've built.

The new tool can be used on top of an existing structure and, once inside, players can customize the interior with new items such as Marvel-themed furniture. This new feature serves as a home base in the game, where players can display achievements they've earned and show off their unique style.

The Marvel heroes proved too big and powerful for the Wii and 3DS to contain.

While Disney Infinity came to Wii and 3DS last year, the Disney Infinity 2.0 platform, kicking off with Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, is not. The reasoning is simple, Disney and the team at Avalanche Software focused on the platforms that were best able to help deliver on their vision for Disney Infinity 2.0.
