BeautiFun Games is including an original mode in the Wii U version of Nihilumbra. Players will be able to try out new co-op mode, which appears to be exclusive to the eShop release.

While in co-op, one player will control Born while a second will control the brush/colors. Both will need to work together to escape from the Void. BeautiFun believes the mode “will add a whole new layer of fun to the game” and “seemed a clever way of exploiting the Wii U technology to enhance the Nihilumbra experience”.

We heard earlier today that Nihilumbra is due out on May 14 in North America. This date has now been confirmed for Europe as well. As is the case in North America, those who buy the game through May 28 can save 20 percent. It will normally be priced at $9.99 / €8.99.

As for what will be done to remedy the situation, Nintendo says that the company is “trying to meet the demands of our fans and consumers by increasing the amount of amiibo we manufacture and ship to retail.” There are already plans in place “to bring back some currently out-of-stock amiibo figures.”
