Update: GalaxyTrail’s official message is below. It doesn’t sound like the developer is committing to a specific date, though the thread title does state August 20.

As luck would have it, a serious bug in the Wii U version of Freedom Planet was found today that causes Wii U consoles to freeze, requiring a hard reset of the system. This bug only occurs in retail versions of the console, so neither Nintendo nor MP2 experienced the issue and we were only made aware of it by members of the press who tried the game over the past couple days.

We cannot allow the game to launch in a state that would potentially cause damage to Wii U consoles or make players think there is something wrong with their console, so we are delaying again until the issue is fixed. No one is more disappointed at this than me, but we have to do what we have to do.

Thank you for your patience and we will continue to update you on the status of our Wii U release.

Freedom Planet was initially scheduled to arrive on the North American Wii U eShop on August 3. Most recently, the title was pushed back to August 13 (this Thursday). Now it’s looking like Freedom Planet is seeing yet another slight delay.

Nintendo is now listing Freedom Planet for release on August 20, which would be next week. Let’s hope that date finally sticks!

Here’s a neat little piece of information that some folks may have overlooked when Xenoblade Chronicles launched on the European Wii U eShop last week. Thanks to the RPG’s support of the Classic Controller, the GamePad can be used. That essentially means that off-TV play is supported.

Elliot Quest just recently received a patch that adds elements like the Miiverse Journal and the ability to change the control scheme. Unfortunately, however, it also brought about a major issue. After applying the latest update, players are unable to progress past the Desert area.

A fix has already been submitted to Nintendo, which is tentatively scheduled for release on August 19. PlayEveryWare apologized for the inconvenience caused in an official Miiverse post.

A preview of FAST Racing Neo from Nintendo World Report provides additional details about Shin’en’s upcoming racer. Read on below for a summary of the latest information.

– Sunhara Plains is among the game’s courses
– This level has flame torches everywhere and being hit by one of these is brutal
– Daitoshi Station is another track, set in space
– There is an open area where you have to fly between various asteroids and there is a very little room for error
– At another point in that same course, asteroids are also trying to crush you and that stuns players
– Storm Coast and Kamagori City are other new tracks
– Storm Coast makes hefty use of the switching mechanics and took place in the pouring rain
– Kamagori City is very short
– Every lap here is over in roughly 35 seconds
– Kamagori City has an old Nanostray boss in the background
– Other references can be found in the final version
– The stages shown so far aren’t how the final cups will be
– The design is nearly done, but there will be a lot of internal testing before submitting the game for release
– The full game will also feature a variety of modes including the Championships, Multi Player, Online Play and a harsher Hero Mode
– No smaller challenge levels like the previous game, but there will be other options will keep players engaged
