Elliot Quest version 1.2.6 coming soon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Another update is coming soon to Elliot Quest. Version 1.2.6 could be out next week, so long as Nintendo approves it.
This new Elliot Quest update will address more bugs. Additionally, it will unlock some Miiverse stamps based on save data.
PlayEveryWare posted the following news on Miiverse:
In a separate post, the company added the following:
I also want to thank all of Miiverse community for being patient and understanding, while sharing with us the issues that are surely frustrating you.
What happened was that we made a whole bunch of performance optimizations alongside our Miiverse Journal feature update. Unfortunately one of the optimizations had some unintended, but serious consequences. We also wanted to address the feedback we were getting about players wanting to have Stamps unlocked based on their save data. Along with fixing bugs that were my fault, I really want to be sure we are adding in features that you the community find important!
We really hope this will be the final update for Elliot Quest on Wii U, but of course we will continue to support the game by watching Miiverse and elsewhere to see if players find any further issues or have any additional feature requests for the game!

Watchup CEO on bringing the app to Wii U, thinks the console offers “the best realization of the second screen experience”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
The Watchup news app made a surprising appearance on the Wii U eShop last week.
Watchup CEO and founder Adriano Farano spoke about the decision to bring the download to Nintendo’s console, telling The Drum:
“Philosophically, the partnership was a natural fit because Watchup’s core mission is to bring the consumption of broadcast news into the modern digital age. Younger audiences, particularly the cord-cutting set, are demanding that their news is personalized and available to them when they want, where they want it. This is exactly what Watchup provides.”
Farano also spoke about why Watchup is a good fit on Wii U. In his response, he pointed out his belief that Nintendo’s console offers the “best realization of the second screen experience”.
“The ability to leverage a second screen led Watchup to come up with the idea of a ‘watch and read’ interface that takes advantage of both screens in a fully functional way. As it turns out, the Wii U platform is probably the best realization of the ‘second screen’ experience because it doesn’t require downloading a second app on your phone or using a separate device. Because it’s the same integrated hardware, it is completely synchronized and seamless. News articles related to the video being watched are automatically populated on the handheld device and can be browsed for added context with the swipe of a finger.”
