A few hours ago, Nintendo announced Nindies@Night. The special event, which is taking place the Thursday night before PAX Prime begins, will showcase several independent games for Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo’s Damon Baker has now made the event all the more interesting, as it sounds like a few game announcements are in store. Baker posted the following on Twitter just a short while ago:

Keep your eyes peeled for news coming out of Nindies@Night on August 27. More details about the event can be found in our original post here.

Freedom Planet has been unfortunately delayed once again. GalaxyTrail had most recently hoped to have the game ready to go on Thursday, but freezing issues are still present. A new date will not be announced until all issues have been addressed.

Developer Stephen DiDuro wrote in the official GalaxyTrail forums:

We received some sad news today: Our patch for the Wii U version of Freedom Planet didn’t fix all of the freezing issues. In light of this, we are cancelling our launch for the time being. We’re only going to announce a release date after the game is fixed and free of all issues not present in the PC version.

I understand that some fans out there were already upset at the last delay and that further delays would be the last straw, and to them I can only say that I’m sorry. I do not intend to deliver anything less than a 100% faithful and clean port, regardless of how long it takes.

If any of our new Wii U fans are interested in playing the PC/Mac/Linux version to tide them over, we’ll keep you updated on any sales or bundles we may be involved with in the future. We also have several extra announcements coming later this month including for our planned character DLC, so stay tuned.

We’re sorry again and thank you for your patience!

Freedom Planet has had several planned release dates on Wii U: August 3, August 13, and August 20. Here’s hoping that the next date will stick.

The Castle Game was announced nearly a year ago – August 2014. We haven’t heard about it much since, but we do know that it remains in the works.

Neptune Interactive’s Ayngaran Vamatheva reconfirmed to Toronto GameDevs that The Castle Game remains on track for Wii U. However, it’s been put on the back burner while the team focuses on the PlayStation 4 version. Vamatheva said that Neptune Interactive will likely be returning to development of the Wii U version for release in 2016.

He said:

“We’ve put a pause on it in order to get the PS4 version out. We’ll probably get back to it to release for next year. It is a fun console, especially with the second screen. I’d love to take advantage of it for our game, but it is not as straightforward as it might seem.”
