Abstraction Games is currently working on bringing Whispering Willows to Wii U. After that, two more titles from the company will hit Nintendo’s console. Abstraction plans on having Kick & Fennick as well as Devil’s Dare on the eShop.

Here’s an overview and trailer for Kick & Fennick, which previously launched on the PlayStation Vita:

“Kick & Fennick is a brand new platform adventure about a little boy with a very big gun.
Soon after waking up in a desolate but colorful world, Kick meets a small flying robot named Fennick. When Fennick saves Kick from a menacing guard robot, they find out Fennick’s battery is broken. Together, they embark on an adventure to the Core Tower to find Fennick a new energy core.
Besides shooting down enemy robots, Kick can make huge jumps by using his gun’s powerful recoil. Jump and shoot your way through 45 levels of collapsed skyscrapers, treadmills, bouncypads, magnets, teleporters and that big guard robot who’s never far behind!
Kick & Fennick features colorful 3d graphics, detailed animation, a cinematic camera system and smooth character movement and physics. “

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Yesterday, Level 22 was confirmed for release on the European Wii U eShop this week thanks to the latest Nintendo Download report. But we now also know that the title will arrive on the same day in North America. Moving Player sent out word today that Level 22 will be available on January 28 across both regions.

Here’s an overview of Level 22:

This “retro-pixel” looking undercover game will immerse you in a colorful, dynamic and humorous universe!
In this stealth game you are Gary, an office worker who overslept after a drunken night out in town. But it gets tricky, because it isn’t Gary’s first time being late for work. And he could get fired if anyone spots him arriving at his desk after everyone else yet again. So he’ll have to prove his smartness and slyness to make his way up the 22 floors standing between him and his office without being caught.
