Victory Run is due out on the European Wii U Virtual Console this week, according to a listing on Nintendo’s website. The page lists the game for release tomorrow.
Here’s an overview:
Victory Run is a racing game modelled on the Paris-Dakar Rally which ran from Paris, France, to Dakar in Senegal.
Experience an all-out, realistic rally race where you have to deal with vehicle damage, from engine failure to transmission breakdown. The scenery even changes depending on the time.
The exhilarating feeling of speed… Intense crash scenes… Keep it runnin’ right to the end of the unforgiving 13,000 km (8,077 miles) long-haul course!
In North America, Victory Run is already available. The game costs $5.99.

Aztez looking more likely for Switch than Wii U
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
In our indie feature a few months ago, we asked Team Colorblind if Aztez would still be made for Wii U. We were told that releasing on the older system isn’t entirely off the table “if it seems like there’s still a market for it, and it isn’t a technical nightmare”.
Team Colorblind offered an update about the situation in a new blog post as well. Team Colorblind noted that the company is primarily authorized for Wii U currently, “but we’re going to try and pivot that into a Switch release instead.” Bringing Aztez to Switch rather than Wii U may make more sense at this point.
