GameXplain has posted a video with 30 minutes of footage from Two Tribes’ shooter RIVE. Take a look at the gameplay below.

Coup de Grece has been working on a new action-platformer for Wii U called “Primary Shift”. This has players shifting the background’s color in order to control the platforms, enemies and obstacles that appear on screen.

The action takes place in a school that has school supplies as platforms and number as enemies. You’ll need to help Timo graduate by getting good grades in over 40 levels. The best time will be recorded at the end of the course.

Here’s a rundown of features:

· Platforming action
· Color shifting mechanic
· 4 different types of level objective
· 40 challenging levels (okay, first few are easy)
· Replay value: beat your best times in time trials

And a trailer:

Look for Primary Shift on the eShop soon.

More footage has surfaced of two new Wii U eShop games in Europe: Tachyon Project and Chompy Chomp Chomp Party. Check out the latest gameplay below.

A new trailer has come online for Angry Video Game Nerd II, which is slated for Nintendo platforms. You can take a look at the new video below.

Road Redemption was thought to be heading to Wii U since the game’s original Kickstarter days. Unfortunately, it’s now uncertain if we’ll be seeing this one on the eShop.

The game’s developer wrote the following in a Kickstarter update today:

Hey guys, here is some clarification on Wii-U. Anyone who backed for Wii-U can definitely choose to receive a PS4 or Xbox One copy instead when those versions become available (or Steam version now). We have definitely not ruled out a Wii-U release, however due to the current complexity of the game and the weak hardware of the Wii-U, it will take a tremendous amount of optimization to make it happen. This would have to happen after PS4 and Xbox One versions are complete.

If we receive any clarify about the situation, we’ll let you know. It’d be a huge bummer if a Wii U version didn’t happen at this point.
