An official update on Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty’s Wii U version
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Over on the game’s official blog, Oddworld Inhabitants and Just Add Water shared an official update regarding the status of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty for Wii U.
The existence of the 8GB Wii U model no longer seems to be much of an issue. However, the team is “dependent” on the completed versions of New ‘n’ Tasty for PS3 and PS Vita, as quite a number of optimizations for these versions will be used in the Wii U SKU. Additionally, “There is also specific functionality in Unity that isn’t currently supported on Wii U.” At the moment, there is “considerable work to be done” regarding Oddworld on Wii U.
Don’t fret too much. It was said towards the end of today’s status report, “We remain invested in the Wii U platform, and reiterate our desire to have Abe on a Nintendo console.”
Read on below for the full Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty Wii U update.

Update: Here’s what Yacht Club says about the eShop listing:
@JeGeekJePlay Seeing that release date is a surprise to us honestly! Possibly a mix up?
— Yacht Club Games (@YachtClubGames) October 22, 2014
@JeGeekJePlay The Wii U and 3DS versions should be released on the same day! Though we're still waiting to find out when that is exactly.
— Yacht Club Games (@YachtClubGames) October 22, 2014
The European Wii U eShop has apparently dated several games for Europe.
First up, Shovel Knight will apparently launch on November 6 for €14.99. Yacht Club Games previously confirmed that the game would be launching in Europe and Australia next month, but a specific date wasn’t shared.
Also due out on November 6 is the eShop version of Disney Infinity 2.0. Wii U owners will be able to purchase the title for €29.99.
Last but not least, Picross e5 is slated for November 11 (with a €5.00 price point).
