Today we bring you both good news and bad news regarding Luc Bernard’s upcoming minis, SteamPirates, Mecho Wars and Mecho Tales. First the bad news: Luc’s been in touch to let us know that the release dates of all three minis have been pushed back, “just because we want to make them as great as possible,” in his words. All were originally scheduled for Q1 of this year – no word as yet as to when we can expect to see any or all of the games, but we’ll keep you posted. Now for the good news! Luc has sent us two exclusive screenshots from Mecho Tales, as well as some more tantalising details about the game. This is what he told us:

Mecho Tales, all I can say is that it will be the ultimate retro platforming action game. These screenshots don’t demonstrate it yet, until I show a video. But the action is going to be over the top.

Now remember everyone, patience is a virtue!
