Back in 2009, Nocturnal released Flowerworks for WiiWare. Now the studio is wrapping up a souped-up version, Flowerworks HD: Follie’s Adventure, for the Wii U eShop.

Nocturnal hasn’t shared many details about what’s new in this version, though “more information about the game and its features will be announced in the coming weeks.” The game has already been submitted to Nintendo and should be out soon.

You can find a few screenshots from Flowerworks HD: Follie’s Adventure above.

The ever-reliable NPD leaker “creamsugar” has come through with one piece of noteworthy data.

Last month, Wii Fit U is said to have sold under 20,000 copies. Those sales were obtained in a little less than a month.

Wii Fit U is selling at an incredibly slower rate than Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, though that was to be expected. Wii U has a much lower installed base than its predecessor, for one thing. Also keep in mind that Nintendo has been offering the title on the eShop, and allowed console owners to purchase the digital version for just $20 by syncing their Fit Meters.
