Wii U eShop

The eShop has populated with news about one of the game’s heading to North America next week. On August 18, Ratilakia Games will publish the digital game Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition.

Blasting Agent was previously confirmed for next week in Europe.

Here are some screenshots and an overview from the eShop listing:

Axiom Verge might be making its way to Wii U early next month. On the eShop, a date of September 1 appeared, though only briefly. It also showed for a short time as an upcoming title, but has since been removed from the section. Visiting Axiom Verge’s eShop page now simply shows a date of “TBD”.

There are one of two possibilities here. Either Nintendo didn’t want folks knowing about Axiom Verge’s release date yet, or a mistake was made. We do know that September 1 is a Thursday – when most digital games are out. September 1 would also still fit in with the planned summer launch.

Collateral Thinking was originally supposed to end up on the North American Wii U eShop this week. That didn’t happen though, with developer Astrosaurus Games telling us that a “few paperwork hiccups” prompted a short delay.

Collateral Thinking will now be released in North America next Thursday. It’s the same day as the PAL launch, so all territories will be receiving it at the same time.
