Armikrog’s official launch is slated for August. In the case of Wii U, however, it shouldn’t be expected anytime soon.
Pencil Test Studios has said that Armikrog will be arriving on Wii U “substantially later” than the game’s other versions. That’s because the team wants to use the console’s different capabilities, including the GamePad. Pencil Test also didn’t want to send out an identical port.

Next, Sakai shares the following about why and how the art style in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. changed a bit:
