Typoman set for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Typoman is coming to the Wii U, Headup Games confirmed during GDC 2014 last week.
Players will control a little character made of letters in Typoman. You’ll need to use letters at your disposal to form words that have different effects on the stage. You may, for example, have the word “rain”, and place a “d” in front to create the letter “drain”. Doing so will allow you to drain water from a pit and continue onward. Expect to run, jump, push, and pull in Typoman as well.

Dreamfall Chapters’ PS4 exclusivity is timed, Red Thead will be open to ports
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Red Thread Games announced PlayStation 4 exclusivity for its new game Dreamfall Chapters earlier this week. But as it turns out, the exclusivity is actually timed – meaning the game could head to other platforms in the future.
Red Thread wrote on Twitter:
.@DukeMagnem @JoeOfTheSith #PS4 gets #Dreamfall #Chapters first. After that we're open to porting to any & all platforms if we can afford it
— Red Thread Games (@RedThreadGames) August 14, 2014
What exactly this means for Wii U is unclear. Red Thead recently suggested that they’d like to consider a different game for Nintendo’s console other than Dreamfall Chapters that would fit the platform better. Although, during Dreamfall Chapters’ early days, Wii U was looking like a serious option. So who knows!
