Vaccine is still coming to Wii U
Posted on 7 years ago by Fernando in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Indie developer Rainy Night Creations announced a few months ago that their new game, Vaccine, would be coming to Wii U as well as other platforms.
Today, Rainy Night Creations have posted on their Twitter account that they already have a date for Vaccine on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam. Unfortunately, the Wii U version failed lotcheck and they have to keep testing it.
The good news about this is that they won’t cancel Vaccine on Wii U regardless the situation, so it will probably be launching a month later than the others.
It was previously announced that Vaccine was slated for Q1 2017. Hopefully it will maintain that release window in Wii U.
And no, even though WiiU is the trickiest to develop for, it has the most expensive devkit and it's the less profitable, not gonna cancel it

RISE: Race The Future no longer in the works for Wii U, but VD-Dev still hoping to make a Switch version
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 15 Comments
IronFall Invasion developer VD-Dev announced RISE: Race The Future for Switch and Wii U. Development is moving forward – despite the sad passing of the studio’s co-founder Fernando Velez.
Some platform changes have been made since the original announcement. For one thing, Wii U is now out of the picture. VD-Dev is also focusing on PC first, with other platforms to follow. VD-Dev still hopes to make a Switch version, but since the game is initially launching at the end of this year, we won’t be seeing it on a Nintendo platform until 2018.
