CastleStorm hitting Wii U on December 26

CastleStorm will launch on Wii U on December 26, Zen Studios has announced. That date applies to both North America and Europe.

Zen Studios outlined how CastleStorm takes advantage of the GamePad in a press release published today:

CastleStorm makes full use of the Nintendo Wii U Gamepad, which mirrors the action being displayed on the TV allowing the game to be fully playable on the GamePad without a TV. All functionality is available without touch as well, using the sticks and action buttons. In local multiplayer, one player uses the Pro Controller and looks at the TV, the other player uses the GamePad and plays on the Gamepad screen.

CastleStorm will be available for $9.99 / €9.99.
