The Song of Seven is the latest indie title that will no longer be coming to Wii U. However, rather than simply being cancelled due to the arrival of Switch, Enlightened Games seems to have encountered technical issues getting the game running properly on the console.

The developer did note in a Kickstarter update that they’ll “continue to work with Nintendo on the possibility of release on future Nintendo platforms with new hardware better aligned with our game engine.”

The full update reads:

“Firstly, we need to address the state of the union with Nintendo development. After more than a year of attempting to tweak, re-tweak, re-create, and optimize, we have run out of options for being able to make the game work on the Wii U console. This means we will be cancelling the game’s Wii U specific version, which we first thought of all of our Wii U backers before making this tough decision. We found that there is no feasible way to transition the game to that specific console without rebuilding the game from the ground up. Don’t fret, though, Nintendo faithful backers. We will continue to work with Nintendo on the possibility of release on future Nintendo platforms with new hardware better aligned with our game engine. We sincerely apologize in regards to our unforeseen obstacles, but there is a slight silver lining. In addition to releasing on the Playstation 4, we are currently working with Microsoft to add release on the Xbox One, with both versions releases slated in 2017, bringing you more options to play the game on.. If you chose to back with a Nintendo copy, but would like to choose a different copy of the game, we would be happy to send you a steam/drm free, or shoot you a copy for Xbox One/PS4 when released.”

A new blog post on the Runner3 website has given us a glimpse into the retro challenge levels that will be in Runner3. These levels are different in their art style from the primary levels in Runner3, but unlike the retro challenge levels in past runner games the player will have full control over Commander Video.

In past RUNNER games, the Retro Challenges were much more simplified auto-running levels. In RUNNER3, these levels are serious business. Tons of unique enemies, loads of strange obstacles and puzzles and pitfalls, and all sorts of surprises to discover and explore. I’m very certain that you are going to have tons of fun times with this sub-game. But here’s the secret sauce that’s really going to freak out all you CommanderVideo fans: you’re in total control of CV in these levels! That’s right…run, jump….OR EVEN STOP! Writing that sentence even freaked ME out! Where am I?! What world is this that I live in?! What are these fabric tubes my legs are trapped in?!!? (Editor’s Note: Jason, those are your pants.)

If the regular blog updates are anything to go by, Runner3 appears to be making steady progress to its 2017 release date. You can find the entire blog post here.

A new trademark for Wave Race has surfaced in Europe. Nintendo filed for the name today, and it was published with the European Union Intellectual Property Office.

Now, before we jump to conclusions, it’s important to note that this doesn’t necessarily mean a new Wave Race game is in the works. It’d certainly be nice, but trademarks aren’t always indicative of upcoming announcements. The trademark could be a protective measure on Nintendo’s part. Only time will tell if there’s any additional meaning here.

When a product becomes difficult to find – even for a short period – people turn to eBay. With the NES Classic Edition, the asking price naturally skyrocketed.

Polygon reports that NES Classic Edition sales on eBay last Friday took place once every 18 seconds. It’s tailed off just slightly since then, but sales are still happening once every minute and 23 seconds as of Tuesday. The average sale price has also been at $230 as opposed to Nintendo’s normal $60 asking price.
