World to the West’s Wii U version gets delayed by a few weeks
Posted on 8 years ago by Fernando in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Teslagrad developer Rain Games have posted an update about the state of World to the West for Wii U. Apparently, they’ve been getting some issues with Nintendo’s console, but now they have found a way to optimize the game’s performance.
Sadly, this means that World to the West will get delayed. In their announcement, Rain Games have stated that they do not want to release a game that later on will need a patch to fix a less polished state.
They reassure possible buyers that World to the West will definitely come to Wii U, but we don’t have a possible date yet.
World to the West will launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC next week. Hopefully it won’t be long before we hear about the Wii U version release.

Posted on 8 years ago by Fernando in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
During the last Nindies Showcase, SteamWorld Dig 2 devs Image & Form announced their latest game and, among other things, they specified that this new iteration will use Switch’s HD Rumble feature.
Nothing more was said about it until now. In a recent interview posted on the official Nintendo UK site, Julius Guldblog, Community Manager at Image & Form, talked more about how exactly are they planning to implement HD Rumble when playing SteamWorld Dig 2:
“I quite like what we’ve been able to pull off with HD Rumble. One thing is recreating the sensation of digging into certain materials. There’s so many cool things you can do. HD rumble will be a fabulous feature of SteamWorld Dig 2.”
He hints that we’ll be able to feel with our Joy-Con different materials when digging them, but that’s probably just an example and there will be more uses for this feature.
