Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel may come to the Wii U eShop

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Another indie game that may head to the Wii U eShop in the future is “Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel”.

Indie developer Red Little House Studios describes the game as “a hybrid between an action adventure game such as Zelda and a graphic adventure title like Monkey Island, themed in the sunset of the black and white animation era in 1933.” You can get a look at the game through the trailer above.

Red Little Horse told NotEnoughShaders that PC, Linux, and Max are confirmed platforms for release. But the studio has additional systems in mind such as the Wii U.

“Initially we have in mind to release it on PC, Linux and Mac, but we are open to port it to other platforms in the future, like for example the Wii U.”

Thanks to Alex K for the tip.

Wii U appears to be getting Batman: Arkham Origins Deathstroke DLC after all

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Despite initial concerns, it looks like Batman: Arkham Origins’ Deathstroke pre-order DLC will be available on the Wii U after all.

Amazon’s product page mentions the bonus as well as the previous $10 credit offer. GameStop’s listing is missing the Deathstroke item, but the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 pages showcase an image that includes the Wii U version (see above).

We did contact Warner Bros. a few days back to receive some clarity about the situation, but never heard back. But now that we’re getting signs from retailers that the Wii U will have access to the Deathstroke pre-order DLC, there isn’t as much cause for concern.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Max Factory’s Link and Samus Figmas are heading stateside. The store “Big Bad Toy Store” has listed the two games for release later this year.

A message on the store’s website reads:

“Great News! We have just confirmed that the licensing issue that previously caused this item not to be released in the USA has been worked out. A new production run will be made and release is confirmed for the 4th Quarter 2013!”

The two figurines are set at $49.99 – pre-order the Link one here and Samus one here. There’s also the PVC statue of Samus in her Zero Suit for $100, located here.
