Update: Bumped to the top. It’s now confirmed that both of these games are due out tomorrow. Golden Sun’s page is here and Onimusha’s listing is here.

If ratings from the ESRB are anything to go by, two new Virtual Console games will be added to the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow. It’s currently looking like we’ll be getting Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Onimusha Tactics based on the classification listings. We should be able to obtain confirmation soon!

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD no longer planned for Wii U, but that could change

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 11 Comments

It’s been a very long time since Oddworld Inhabitants and Just Add Water made their plans known about Wii U. As you may remember, the two companies originally hoped to bring Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD and Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty to the eShop.

We found out earlier today that New ‘N’ Tasty is still on track for Wii U. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of Stranger’s Wrath HD.

Oddworld Inhabitants told one fan on Twitter today that there are “no current plans” to bring Stranger’s Wrath HD to Wii U. The studio did at least say that the status could change in the future.

@RockNRogue1 no current plans for Stranger's Wrath. That may change, but it's not on our radar right now.
