Fixie Joe is one of the first Wii U titles from Retromade Games. Originally released for iOS and Android, the new version for Nintendo’s console “will have some improvements on visuals and maybe even some extras involving the Gamepad”, according to CEO Jose Gallardo.

Retromade is also bringing Hell-IX to Wii U. Thankfully, even if the game’s Kickstarter stretch goal isn’t met, it’ll still come to the system – though the game “will be substantially delayed”.

“Yes, but the release date will be substantially delayed; this is because we need to share our time with freelance work for other companies in order to finance our own projects.”

Retromade is looking to release Hell-IX around Christmas. As far as taking advantage of the Wii U, Gallardo said the amount and type of features largely depends on how the Kickstarter campaign performs.

“This depends on many factors, as I said, we are small studio and don’t have endless funds. The Kickstarter was created to help us continue with development and if the stretch goals are achieved, we will feature more modes, levels and Wii U specifics. If we get funded or if we can find an investor, we were thinking about some upgrades like online co-operative mode. We are definitely considering touch controls, which will be used to select targets and other stuff.”

As far as what lies ahead for Retromade, the team may release more maps, “but we want to focus on other games, we have plans for a strategic game located in an alternative present and future.” The indie dev would “also like to develop an MMO based on ancient Asian mythology” as well as create a 3DS version of Fixie Joe.

Pokemon X/Y has already become a success even though the game isn’t due out for another two months.

According to Media Create, both versions of the game have racked up 260,000 copies in Japanese pre-orders thus far. That number was achieved in just a two day span.

Pokemon X/Y still has a ways to go before it meets Pokemon Black/White 2’s numbers, however. The DS games saw 1.16 million pre-orders a week before they launched in Japan.

How to Survive, previously announced for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, is also in development for Wii U. The game was rumored for Nintendo’s console after a rating popped up on the USK.

We managed to receive confirmation from publisher 505 Games that How to Survive will be making its way to Nintendo’s console. However, the news comes with a bit of a caveat. All platforms will be receiving online multiplayer, allowing gamers to join up with a friend through the Internet – except on Wii U. Information provided by 505 Games indicates that Wii U will be the only console missing the feature, though local multiplayer will be included similar to other systems.

How to Survive will be out this fall as an eShop download. We’ll have more on the game in the very near future.
