Quest of Dungeons dev gives an update on Wii U and 3DS versions
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Quest of Dungeons were confirmed for both Wii U and 3DS back in February. The developer shared a status update today, and touched on features that are in the works.
There’s no word yet on a release date, but Quest of Dungeons may hit Wii U and 3DS simultaneously. Both versions are coming along.
On Wii U, Quest of Dungeons will feature off-TV play and Pro Controller support. There will also be an option to play between the GamePad and TV so that you can take advantage of a touch-based inventory, map, and more to manage things.
The 3DS has been a bit more difficult to work with due to technical challenges, but it’s moving along. An updated version of the UI / use of dual screens should allow players to manage items on the lower screen by touch. StreetPass support is also under consideration:
When you StreetPass someone you send and receive ghosts from previous runs to the other user. Here’s how it works, when you die, the game saves your character as it is, stats, equipment, etc. There is later a chance, that in a new game you might encounter yourself, but now you will also send those ghosts to the other players. So when you find ghosts from other users (they will have a icon in-game to make it different) if you defeat them, you’ll get all the loot. Cool right?

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Ezekiel Rage is gearing up to launch a new game for Wii U going by the name “Citadale: Gate of Souls”. The 8-bit action game is already with Nintendo’s lot check, meaning we should be seeing it on the eShop soon.
Here’s an overview:
Step into the hellouse once again. Citadale is a classic retro 8bit action game in the veins of so many NES classics. Vampires, zombies and other creatures of the night await. What a horrible night to have a curse.
You are Sonja Dorleac, a young woman on a mission to stop the local Dark Lord from plunging the lands into the darkness. Armed with the Shadow Blade, a legendary sword given to her by her husband and her wits, she sets out to restore peace to the lands.
Designed for use with the Wii U gamepad, this game gives you total control over your gameplay experience. The full level layout on the TV allows you to see hidden rooms and enemies that attack from above or below while the gamepad shows you the close surroundings of your character. Switch between different viewpoints to always see what you need to in order to survive the journey.
The game supports Off-TV play, the Wii U Pro Controller, The Wii Remote and the Wii Classic Controller as well as Miiverse posting.
And a trailer:
