The Plague of Shadows update for file size is now available. On Wii U, the patch weighs in at a little under 100MB.

The 3DS version is slightly different. You’ll need 715 blocks of free space, but that’s from the entire game. Yacht Club Games has brought the overall size down from 1,217 blocks.

Note that on 3DS, you’ll want to grab the update from the 3DS eShop. Don’t use the in-game menu!

Dreadlocks has determined a more specific release window for the Wii U version of Dex. In a Kickstarter update, the studio said that the game can be expected on the eShop sometime during Q1 2016.

Dreadlocks spoke very positively about working with Nintendo and the Wii U in general. This version “will feature some unique functionalities”, according to the developer.

Here’s what was shared in the Kickstarter update:

“Both the Wii U and Ouya versions are still very much in development and our target release window is Q1 2016 (possibly Q2 for Ouya). We realize that this is later than first anticipated, and that those of you waiting for these versions to play Dex are getting impatient. The main reason for the delay is that we decided to work of the Enhanced Version of Dex to improve several aspects of the game, based on the feedback we received following the release. The console versions will of course include all those changes (and more), so our development schedule was significantly shifted as a result.

Nintendo has been extremely helpful and delightful to work with, and we’re very excited about the Wii U version, which will feature some unique functionalities, more of which we’ll detail in the coming months.”

Because of the fairly long wait, Kickstarter backers who pledged for the console version will receive a free Steam key so that the game can be played as soon as possible. The console codes will still be distributed next year as well.
