Update: Here’s a trailer:
It’s a bit unclear if Europe will have Poncho on the same day. We’ll let you know if we find out!
Rising Star Games and Delve Interactive originally launched Poncho last year. We haven’t heard much about the status of the Wii U version, but we should be seeing it very soon.
The eShop now lists the game for August 18 in North America. When it’s ready, it will cost $9.99.
We’ve attached an overview and some screenshots from the eShop listing below.
A robot, a poncho and a journey of discovery! Make your way through this world of pixelated parallax platforming to solve the ultimate puzzle: who is Poncho?
The world is ruined; mankind is gone and all that remains are robots. But for Poncho, the adventure is just beginning! Explore an open world full of colorful characters, leaping between parallax layers to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. Can you make it to the Red Tower, meet your Maker and ultimately save humanity?
A 2D world with 3D thinking! Use brains as well as platforming skill, moving back and forth through Poncho’s world as well as left and right to progress.
Discover new challenges around every corner: platforms that move when you do, areas that switch from 3D to 2D and back again, shifting walls, seemingly impossible ascents and much more!
Gorgeous pixel graphics mix with clever gameplay and a catchy soundtrack to create a retro-style experience that’s truly unique!
