Wulverblade getting physical with Super Rare Games!

Hey Everyone! You heard that right, WULVERBLADE IS GETTING A PHYISCAL RELEASE ON NINTENDO SWITCH! WAHOOOO! We’re partnering with the super amazing Super Rare Games and we couldn’t be happier!

We’re not allowed to spill any more beans than that right now, but rest assured this will be SPECIAL!

Woods Beatemups has just broken the news on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ8AeGgomLI

Mike has been tirelessly painting an exclusive new cover for this too, so anyone who buys the game will see a cover that’s never been seen anywhere else before. He’s pilled a HUGE amount of hours into this and the other extras that will accompany it.

We can’t wait until Super Rare Games unveils the finished article!

This is literally a life dream for all of us and something we’ve been working hard to make happen.  Just making Wulverblade was the big goal and a close second to that was getting a physical release. Growing up in the 80’s (well some of the team at least ha haa) meant we have a big affection for physical games, something that can be seen in Mike’s giant retro collection. And now, finally, after all these years our very own game can be added to the worlds physical library of games.

Team Wulverblade!

The BIG Switch patch is LIVE and on SALE too!

After many months Wulverblade’s BIG v1.1 patch is out now!

It’s been a long journey to get here but we’ve finally managed it. The v1.1 update of Wulverblade is out now and its PACKED with great features based on the feedback from our fantastic fans.

This monster update includes:

  • Easy Mode – This was the single most requested feature that we heard from both Nintendo Life readers and the web as a whole. It was a tough at first as we were getting other feedback saying that the game was too easy. So this patch now gives you an easier mode to play with which includes…
  • Boss Checkpoints – The other big request was boss checkpoints. For the folks struggling with the difficulty the check-pointing was making things even harder, so there is now a checkpoint before each boss!
  • BEAST mode – This is the extra mode that is currently locked on the main menu. Once you’ve complete the game this unlocks and, well, let’s just say you’ll be wanting to play the game through again! For those that have completed the game on other systems and had access to this mode, they’ve loved it and we hope you do to. Its seriously good fun!
  • Performance boost – We’ve been able to reduce the loading times between levels! We’ve also boosted the frame rate in a many areas too.
  • Missing achievements – A few folks had mentioned that their achievement’s had disappeared. Worry not, they’d not gone, they just weren’t visible due to a small glitch which has now been quashed.
  • Bug fixes – We’ve addressed all the known bugs in the game and they should all now be gone.

As you can see this is one meaty update with lots included, we just wish we could have got it to you sooner.

This update was originally complete and submitted to Nintendo back in December with the plan of it going live whilst we were still in our exclusivity window with Nintendo. Sadly, we hit some (more…)
