Abstraction Games and Night Light Interactive Partner today announced that Whispering Willows is making its way to Wii U.

Here’s the official overview:

Project Elena’s soul outside her body to solve puzzles, reach hidden areas, and interact with other spirts to ultimately determine what happened to her father.

Rich with narrative and filled with gorgeous hand-painted 2D visuals, Whispering Willows is a horror themed side-scrolling adventure where players take the role of Elena, a young girl determined to solve the mystery behind her missing father. Using a unique amulet gifted from her father, Elena possesses the extraordinary ability to project her spirit outside of her body. While in this spectral form, she can interact with the benevolent spirits and wicked wraiths that used to dwell within the walls of the sinister Willows Mansion. Help Elena use her astral projection to solve puzzles, help lost spirits, and uncover the mysteries behind her missing father.

Whispering Willows launches on the Wii U eShop this summer. A trailer can be seen below.

How would you guys feel about some sort of Pikmin and Chibi-Robo! crossover. Is that something you’d like to see?

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water

Will Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water be a digital-only release in North America? That’s what some people are speculating.

Nintendo recently added Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water to its North American site. The thing is, the game page has an eShop symbol rather than a boxart or even a temporary placeholder boxart.

Does this mean that Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will only be available digitally in North America? Only time will tell.
