German developer King Art Games began making its point-and-click adventure series called “The Book of Unwritten Tales” a few years back. The most recent entry, The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, debuted on PC in early 2015, and landed on consoles a few months later. Based on a retailer listing, the title is now slated for Wii U.

Amazon UK lists The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 for release on Wii U on March 22 with Nordic Games handling publishing duties. The Wii U version has already been rated by the ESRB, so it should be coming to North America at some point as well.

You can get an idea as to what The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 offers in the gameplay video below.

Thanks to Tiago S and MrValtor for the tip.

Another interesting tidbit has been spotted in yesterday’s Zelda: Twilight Princess HD footage from Nintendo Minute. In the game, players will have access to a new type of lantern item (different from the standard lantern) – possibly one for Poes.

GameXplain speculates that the lantern could be used to spot Poes while in human form. In the original Twilight Princess, you needed to be Wolf Link while using his sense view. Being able to track down Poes with the lantern could make things much more convenient.

We first reported on Gunscape last September. Blowfish Studios’ first-person shooter lets players create their own levels and multiplayer maps. That’s in addition to cross-platform sharing, which allows for content to be exchanged with other platforms such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Gunscape was originally planned for release in January. This month has almost finished, and now Blowfish says that they hope to have the title ready sometime in February.

The developer told one fan on Twitter earlier this month:

Thanks to Mike for the tip.
