Curve Studios marketing manager Rob Clarke confirmed to Destructoid that Lone Survivor will be available for Wii U in November. Additionally, The Swapper and Stealth Inc 2 will follow within the month.

On the topic of new content for the Wii U version of Lone Survivor, Curve Studios marketing manager Rob Clarke said:

“We’re not adding any new content to Lone Survivor, as we added such a huge amount when we originally made the Director’s Cut edition for PlayStation last year. But we’ll have all the content in from the start and we’re making full use of the GamePad.”

Zen Studios has reiterated its dedication to Wii U time and time again. But you know what they say: “show, don’t tell”.

Thankfully, it sounds like it won’t be long now before Zen Studios shares some concrete information about its upcoming Wii U plans. The company’s Mel Kirk, writing on Zen’s forums, teased “very big Wii U news” that will be shared “very soon.”

He said:

Actually, we will have some very big Wii U news very soon. This is a difficult platform to support from a technology standpoint. Simple patches are not simple. New content additions are not easy due to the way the system is set up. We are committed to supporting Wii U. Again, please look for an announcement in the coming weeks. Thanks for supporting Zen Studios.

Yacht Club Games shared a comprehensive breakdown of Shovel Knight’s sales in a new blog post.

In its first week, the indie title managed to sell 75,000 copies (taking out Kickstarter pre-sales). Yacht Club said, “It blew our 2x-4x pre-sale expectation out of the water”.

There are a few reasons we think our preorder prediction ended up being such a conservative estimate. One is…we were a Kickstarter! That’s not quite the same thing as a preorder. People could only attain the preorder for a limited time, so the stats aren’t 100% aligned with what a preorder would do. We think due to the PC nature of Kickstarter, we saw a higher amount of sales on Nintendo’s platform when the game actually got released. Nintendo users are more inclined to buy the game day one rather than through a preorder on Kickstarter. Finally, the preorder prediction isn’t a set in stone statistic, but more like a guideline for what to expect. We had done a lot of promotion and marketing at conventions and on media sites to prove ourselves over the course of the year, and we think people responded to it in kind! Nintendo also did an amazing job supporting us through their store placement and own marketing channels.
