Project CARS reconfirmed for fall 2014 launch
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
There hasn’t been much news about the Wii U version of Project CARS, but it’s fortunately still on track. Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed plans to release the game in fall 2014.
Studio head Ian Bell said:
“Project CARS has always led the pack in terms of insane detail. Whether that’s graphically in the craftsmanship of our cars and tracks, technically in the way we’ve approached weather and time of day, or emotionally in how each car feels and responds to your touch. These powerful new platforms allow us therefore to not compromise on the quality of our vision and ultimately that means players are going to experience something truly breathtaking when they get behind the wheel.”

Kickstarter: Tadpole Treble a possibility for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Indie project “Tadpole Treble” is seeking funding on Kickstarter. The campaign will need to reach $30,000 in order to reach its goal.
At $50,000, a Wii U version will be assured. Nintendo has already given the go-ahead, so the only roadblock preventing a release on the console are the amount of available funds.

Studio Fawn’s Bloom: Memories has a good chance of coming to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Studio Fawn’s Bloom: Memories, an action-adventure RPG, may end up on Wii U. In fact, the company says there’s “a pretty good chance” of that happening. We’ll likely be seeing it after the initial release so that Wii U-specific GamePad features can be added in.
One fan asked Studio Fawn about the potential Wii U version on Twitter. In response, the indie dev said:
@n1nt2nd0 There is a pretty good chance of that 🙂 But likely after initial release (so we can add some wii u controller features).

Thanks to n1nt2nd0 for the tip.

Nintendo hoping to “enrich” the VC lineup
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Nintendo’s Virtual Console has been disappointing, to say the least. Releases continue to trickle out very slowly, with some weeks seeing the absence of new classic games entirely.
With any luck, the situation will improve in the future. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said during an investors Q&A briefing several days ago that the company has been unable “to take full advantage of our assets yet, so we would like to enrich our Virtual Console lineup.” Iwata added, “As the ability to digitally offer our products has given us greater flexibility in offering new propositions to our consumers, we should naturally consider these possibilities in the future.”

River City Ransom: Underground still on track for Wii U and 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
River City: Ransom met its Kickstarter funding goal last month, but the campaign missed out on various console stretch goals. So what does that mean for potential Wii U and 3DS versions?
Good news: both systems are still up for consideration. Producer Daniel Crenna told Red Bull UK that the company will self-fund additional platforms for release.
Crenna said:
We are looking at options for additional funding if we think we need more fuel to ensure we meet our goals, and to self-fund additional platforms we didn’t hit in our stretch goals.
