Reporting on the games made in Canada and the creators behind them
So we had Alex from 13AM Games on the podcast last week, but I thought I would crop out his part on talking about Runbow leaks, the demo, and his thoughts on publishing Pirate Pop Plus. You can check it out below, but make sure to check out the podcast for the whole thing!
Well, it looks like 13AM Games is now entering the publishing world. The developers of Runbow have announced they've created '13AM Shipping Solutions' - a publishing company that hopes to "help bring indie games to console and PC." Their first game, 'Dadako’s Pirate Pop Plus!' is an arcade game coming to Wii U, new 3DS, and Steam and is being developed by Dadako Studios out in Tokyo. Check out the trailer below!

Not all things are quiet on the Runbow front either. With the retail version set to hit sometime this year, you will be able to download a free Runbow demo from the eshop starting tomorrow.
Toronto-based 13AM Games have announced a new paid expansion for their 2022 co-operative kaiju beat ‘em up Dawn of Monsters releasing in 2023.
Toronto-based 13AM Games have announced their side-scrolling, kaiju beat-'em-up game will be releasing on pretty much every platformer later this month on March 15th. Limited Run Games also has a physical edition for all platforms you can check out here.
So Severed didn't stay on Vita Island very long, understandably DrinkBox Studios has announced that Severed will be making its way to 3DS and Wii U as cross-buy title, as well as iOS. You can check out the announcement trailer below for Nintendo consoles:
Take control of a one-armed heroine named Sasha, wielding a living sword on her journey through a nightmare world in search of her family. Swipe-based touch controls will let you solve puzzles, find secrets, and do battle with a host of disturbing monsters.
Meanwhile DrinkBox Studios tweeted confirming the game is coming to iOS.

It was a busy time for 13AM Games at E3, the gang announced a bunch of news things for Runbow (and despite most of us making a prediction involving 13AM Games, we were all wrong). For starters, Shantae from the Shantae series will be added as a free downloadable character to Runbow.
In addition to that, Nighthawk Interactive will be brining Runbow Deluxe to Wii U retail, and Runbow Pocket Deluxe to retail new 3DS. A downloadable version Runbow Pocket, will also hit the new 3DS eshop. Both versions will include the full game, all of the DLC and complete soundtrack. While the pocket version will include 4 exclusive 3DS themes, and streetpass trading cards. You can check out the full trailer, and press release below - everything is expected to hit sometime this year.
