Wii U eShop

Test Your Mind previously released on the North American Wii U eShop last November. In Europe, XenoHorizon is now bringing it out on December 15. The game will cost €1.99.

For those who need a recap, here’s a trailer and overview:

“Trick questions, puzzles, tests of memory, and more! This game full of mini-games will test your ability to think outside the box and use the Wii U™ GamePad to solve various problems. Rules come and go as they please and it’s up to you to decipher the solutions to the problems… and maybe even what it’s asking in the first place! If you manage to pass the test (don’t worry, it’s fair), have a friend or family member try it and you might struggle to hold in your laughter as THEY struggle to figure out what they’re doing! When you’ve figured out all the problems, play a fast-paced memory game in local multiplayer and see who can win a battle of brains. Just don’t hurt your mind—we only want to test it!”

Since The Game Awards started, numerous platform holders have offered discounts that tie into the show. Nintendo was never a part of the promtion in the past, but that’s apparently changing this year.

The Game Awards creator and host Geoff Keighley mentioned in a live stream on Periscope today that the eShop will be seeing its own discounts “for the first time” – just like the PlayStation Network, Xbox Games Store, Steam, and Origin. We’ll find out which games are eligible in a few days, but the Nintendo-related winners and/or nominees will likely be included.

The Game Awards will be held this Thursday at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT. That’s Friday at 2 AM in the UK / 3 AM in Europe.

Wii U Virtual Console games come with a special upgrade price for those who originally bought them on Wii. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, which hit the North American eShop on Thursday, is supposed to be the latest example of this. However, we’re hearing reports that the discounted price simply isn’t showing up.

Readers TruExtent and 1056kirby both reached out to Nintendo’s customer support service to investigate the problem. In both instances, they were told that it’s being worked on. It could take up to a couple of weeks before the discounted price of $2 begins to appear, though.

Towards the beginning of next month, Joindots will be bringing Bridge Constructor Playground to the European Wii U eShop. A listing on the store indicates that the title is planned for December 8.

As the title suggests, Bridge Constructor Playground is all about bridge building. You can create your own bridges over deep valleys, canals, and rivers in over 30 levels.

Continue on below for a trailer, and head past the break for more details with an official overview.
