Armikrog finally coming to Wii U next week

Armikrog will finally be released on Wii U next week, according to a North American eShop listing. It won’t be out on Thursday like most digital titles, but Tuesday instead – August 23. The eShop lists a price point of $8.99.

Armikrog, a point-and-click title, will be appearing on Wii U nearly a year after its original debut.

The eShop page carries the following description:

Armikrog is a unique stop-motion, clay-animated, point-and-click adventure game from the creators of Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood. Unravel the mysteries of the fortress that holds Tommynaut and his blind alien talking dog Beak-Beak captive through exploration and puzzle solving!

Loveable characters designed by Doug TenNapel, creator of the Earthworm Jim, and developed by creators of The Neverhood, Ed Schofield and Mike Dietz.

Rich cast of voice over talent brings Armikrog’s characters to life, including well-known actors Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Rob Paulsen (Pinky and the Brain) and Michael J. Nelson (Mystery Science Theater 3000).

Original soundtrack created and recorded by American singwriter and record producer Terry Scott Taylor.
