Jonathon Bont, creator of Trashmania Trilogy, said on Twitter today that the project has been put on indefinite hold. It’s not necessarily cancelled, but don’t count on it being revived anytime soon.
Bont explained that money set aside for Trashmania Trilogy’s development is now needed for his personal situation. He made sure to apologize to fans looking forward to its release.
Due to severe current issues in my personal life, I'm putting development of Trashmania Trilogy for Wii U on hold indefinitely. #gamedev

Development could resume tomorrow, next week, year, or never. Worst case I'll have to use money set aside for gamedev towards other things.

I hate to do this to everyone excited for the game, and I'd hate to put so much hard work to waste, but this is major turning point in life.

When we last heard about Trashmania Trilogy, the download was targeted for Q1 2015 on Wii U. Those plans have since changed.
Creator Jonathon Bont took to Twitter today and confirmed that Trashmania Trilogy has been pushed back to late May/early June. This is due to “the unexpected size the project has grown to.”
To make up for the delay news, Bont confirmed that Trashmania Trilogy will feature online functionality. There will be “online leaderboards for Classic+ and custom level sharing for Remix+”, and Bont teased that “the latter approaches level sharing in a unique way.”
It's official: I'm pushing Trashmania Trilogy's release date to late May/early June 2015. #wiiu

Official reasons are not technical or Wii U specific issues, but instead a lack of time and the unexpected size the project has grown to.

HOWEVER, as a way of saying sorry, here's an announcement to cheer you guys up: online functionality is being worked on!
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) December 28, 2014
Specifically, online leaderboards for Classic+ and custom level sharing for Remix+… the latter approaches level sharing in a unique way.

I won't give away what makes it unique, but I'll just say it's different from how it's normally done. 😉

@JonGryphon I consider it "horror/arcade"; the other 2 games in "Trashmania Trilogy" are straight up arcade (originally A2600 homebrews).
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) August 28, 2014
@JonGryphon But of course, the Wii U version will be a heavily-updated version of the game (enhanced graphics, GamePad support, etc.)
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) August 28, 2014
@JonGryphon I'm shooting for Q1 2015 right now (with hopefully little time between US/Europe releases). Depends on many, many factors.
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) August 28, 2014
#WiiU Another note about Trashmania Trilogy: the original games will support Off-TV Play, but the GamePad-enhanced versions probably won't.

#trashmaniatrilogy #WiiU testing a little mechanic here… I'll show how it comes into play soon. 😉 https://t.co/wYzJbOsY5E
