GN Version 4.0
Coming from a Nintendo Life interview with Ripstone's Co-Founder and Creative Director, Phil Gaskell...

- features "play by mail" multiplayer feature
- allows cross-platform play between the Wii U and 3DS
- also allows for competition between players on smartphone / tablet versions
- play is asynchronous
- when one of you leaves the game, the other can carry on over a longer period
- you'll be sending moves to each other like a true play-by-mail game
- register in game for a Pure Chess account
- this allows you to start issuing challenges to friends or strangers
- if you own both the smartphone/tablet and console versions you can log in and continue your multiplayer game on any of those devices seamlessly

Knytt Underground

- will include the Infinity Hype update currently in development for the PC version
- Wii U will be the only home console with this content

Ripstone once again confirmed that they are working on several titles for 2014 and a Wii U version is in the plan for each of those games.
