Pokken Tournament Pikachu controller pre-orders up on GameStop, apparently an exclusive
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Update (5/6): Bumped to the top. GameStop now lists a July 31 release date for the controller. Additionally, the page says there are “limited quantities”.
Original (5/3): We reported yesterday that the Pikachu version of the Pokken Tournament controller would be heading to North America. GameStop has now followed up by opening online pre-orders here. Given the “Only at GameStop” label, this appears to be a retailer exclusive.
There’s also the May 7 release date that we previously mentioned. I’m still not convinced that the controller is coming out this week, but I suppose stranger things have happened!
Thanks to Corey A for the tip.

Mobot Studios making Demongeon for Wii U
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Paper Monsters Recut developer Mobot Studios has announced Demongeon, a challenging 2D platformer in development for Wii U.
Here’s an overview:
Demongeon is a punishing platformer that will push your skills to the max. You play as a demon that has been summoned and captured by an evil alchemist. To avoid being tortured and used, you must escape his trap filled dungeon. Demogeon uniquely combines the challenge of level-based platforming into one large adventure style level with just enough hints of metroidvania gameplay to keep you wanting more! For the hardcore gamer, there is unlcokable speedrun and survival modes. In survival mode you get one life to see how far you can make it!
Demongeon is due out sometime this summer. A trailer for the game is posted below.

Bloodstained bringing out the main game first followed by additional content
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
There’s a lot involved with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. On top of the base game, last years’ Kickstarter reached stretch goals for features like various modes, local co-op, and more.
How will Bloodstained go about bringing out all of its content? It sounds like the team will be adopting a staggered release, meaning we’ll see the base game first followed by additional content. That should help avoid a major wait, and the experience will be kept fresh over time with new features.
