Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Weekly Screenshot, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Hey… wait a second… Isn’t Paper Monsters Recut out on the Wii U eShop this week? Why are we still sitting around here talking about screenshots when we could all just go buy the game for the low low price of $7.99!? Lord knows I can’t explain it. But either way, we have another screenshot from the game for you showcasing some of the darker underground levels of the game. Check out what Mobot Studios has to say about it below:
In Paper Monsters Recut, you’ll spend time fighting your way through a number of bright outdoor levels in Paperland, but we’ve also tried to more variety for Wii U as well, and this darker atmospheric mine level is a good example. You’ll encounter some different bad guys when you venture underground, and change up the gameplay with a fun ride on this rickety old minecart. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Belgium developer Crazy Monkey Studios is planning on bringing Guns, Gore & Cannoli to Wii U. A release is planned for early 2015.

New 'n' Tasty is not cancelled on Wii U. We are currently having challenges with the platform that we are striving to overcome.
— Oddworld Inhabitants (@OddworldInc) October 17, 2014
Regarding Wii U, while supporting the 8GB model is a consideration, it is neither a dealbreaker nor the only challenge.
— Oddworld Inhabitants (@OddworldInc) October 17, 2014
The Wii U version of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty seems to be facing a bit of trouble.
During the latest episode of the Fragments of Silicon podcast, Oddworld creator Lorne Lanning mentioned that the team is “having challenges without having a hard disk”. However, he quickly added: “we’re trying to overcome those challenges.”
Lanning went on to say that he’s “desperate to be on Nintendo” and feels that “Oddworld will resonate well” with the Nintendo audience.
Read on below for the full transcript of Lanning’s comments.
