Slender: The Arrival rated again for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Some of you may recall that PEGI rated Slender: The Arrival for Wii U nearly a year ago. But sadly, nothing ever came from that listing. It’s curious then that Slender: The Arrival has once again received a rating, this time from German classification board USK.
If there weren’t any plans to bring Slender: The Arrival to Wii U, it wouldn’t make much sense to have the game rated – twice now. It is strange though that the first classification was found last year and yet a Wii U release still hasn’t happened. Perhaps the inclusion on USK’s website is a sign that we’ll finally be seeing the game on the eShop soon?

Rumor: Zelda: Twilight Princess icon found within the Wii U eShop
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 31 Comments
NWPlayer123, a person known within the gaming scene for data mining various games such as Splatoon, posted a brief chat she had with another person who has been snooping around the Wii U eShop. Supposedly, Nintendo recently added in a new title ID for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It’s not quite clear if this would be referring to a simple re-release of the Wii game or an HD version (though the latter is mentioned in the conversation).
It’s not possible to download anything from the eShop. Only the home icon was recovered – it’s actually the image above, but smaller.
It’s true that this could have been a test or an error on Nintendo’s part. I’d personally assume that if it was intentional, there are only plans to bring the original Wii game over much like Super Mario Galaxy 2 and other titles.

Image & Form hopes to have SteamWorld Heist ready for launch in early December

Fans have been waiting a long time for SteamWorld Heist, but by all accounts, the game should still be releasing this year. Nothing is set yet, but Image & Form hopes to have the game done in a couple of months. CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson told Gamer Professionals, “Our goal is to aim for a release in early December… but I won’t make promises.”
That window should mainly apply to the 3DS eShop. A Wii U version is planned as well, but the game will only be out on Nintendo’s handheld at launch.
