TowerFall Ascension On PS4 Releases March 11th
Originally an OUYA exclusive, Matt Thorson is bringing is wonderfully popular TowerFall over to PS4 being dubbed TowerFall: Ascension as a digital title. TowerFall is a 4-player archery combat platformer. If you haven’t seen this game, you are definitely missing out. Check out the video above.
Posting on the PlayStation Blog, Matt talks more about the PS4 version. TowerFall on PS4 will add 50 new versus arenas to battle on, making the total up to 120 ARENAS!!!! He also says that Ascension adds new variants to customize your matches as well as new power-ups.
Don’t like competitive multiplayer? No problem! Ascension comes with a brand new 1-2 player Quest Mode. Keeping the same 1-hit death mechanic as multiplayer, you and/or a buddy will quest through arenas defending yourselves against waves of monsters and enemies of all sorts (grim repaers, archers ghosts etc.)
I am very excited for this game. I haven’t played it on the OUYA but this looks like alot of fun to play 4-player with my buddies!

Yoshi’s New Island Features
Nintendo Direct showed off alot of new features for Yoshi in his upcoming 3DS adventure, Yoshi’s New Island.
- When Yoshi gets attacked, Baby Mario will be knocked off Yoshi and you must re-collect Baby Mario within the time limit that shows up or you must start at the last checkpoint
- There are no stage time limits in the game
- Giant Eggs, or Mega Egg-Dozers, are in the game and can be launched to destroy pipes and blocks and can also collect coins
- Metal Egg-Dozers happen when you lick up a giant metal Shy-Guy by mashing a button. When you turn him into an egg, you get giant metal eggs that can be thrown on the ground to do the same things as Giant Egg-Dozers but the Metal Eggs allow you to go underwater as well
- Yoshi has new transformations and were shown off by the Jack-Hammer Yoshi, which in certain levels you can transform into a Jack Hammer to break rocks and collect coins using the gyro controls
- The Submarine Yoshi transforms you into a submarine-looking Yoshi and control your underwater movements using the gyro contols
- Collecting certain stars will allow Yoshi to transform into Super Yoshi, which can either fly in the sky like a “shooting star” or allow Yoshi to run super fast up walls and fast enough to break through pipes, walls and bricks
- Yoshi can fly through levels using a new item called Flatter Wings that appear purely on your play-style and how often you make mistakes. If you get one of these sets of wings, you can fly through the level instead of be on the ground
- Hidden collectibles such as the smiley flowers, red coins and stars make a comeback, so try to collect them all in every level
