Wii U eShop

Heart Forth, Alicia met its Kickstarter target awhile back, but the campaign has now reached its Wii U stretch goal. Having raised $200,000, the indie title will make its way to the eShop sometime in the future.

38 hours remain in the Heart Forth, Alicia Kickstarter campaign. Will the $245,000 3DS stretch goal be met before then?

Hey everybody, we hope your day is going well/went well/etc! Manfred Linzer from Shin’en has given us another exclusive screenshot from their upcoing Wii U puzzle game Art of Balance, and within it we’re getting a look at the game’s “Challenge Mode” as well as the setting, which– for some reason– is an abandoned house. The real question is who used to live in it before people started playing block games in the attic…?

I guess that’s not for us to say! Here’s Manfred’s description of the screenshot:

Wii U eShop

Three new Virtual Console games are on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Pop’n TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures (Super Famicom), Gargoyle’s Quest II (Famicom), and Yie Ar Kung-Fu II: The Emperor Yie-Gah (MSX) will be out on May 21. Pricing is set at 823 yen for the Super Famicom and MSX games, and 514 yen for the Famicom title.

The Kickstarter-funded indie title Cosmochoria is tentatively slated to launch on Wii U early next year.

Creator Nate Schmold outlined plans for the eShop release in a Kickstarter update, noting that he’ll likely concentrate on this version once “the game is mostly done”.

He said:

I will be testing the Wii U starting this summer once i have a more stable build with some additional optimizations in place. Once the dev kit arrives I’ll be sharing / streaming the progress of my testing, but chances are I wont be able to fully focus on the Wii U dev until the game is mostly done, as I’d first need the full features of the game implemented before I can start tying things to the Wii U control schemes etc. Basically anything i do regarding the Wii U dev i’ll be sure to post about it, though – for those that are interested. 🙂

Nitrolic Games shared a few details about Plenty of Fishies – the studio’s Wii U eShop title – over on its official forums. You can find the information below.

Unfortunately with this version of Plenty of Fishies, there is no asymmetric gaming; it’s just another controller, with a screen essentially. If the game is popular enough, I have another one mode planned which will add a very interesting mode to the game. 🙂

There are a about four different game modes… three single player, and three multiplayer. two of each are duplicated between the two if that makes sense. The game is very challenging, but that’s what makes it really fun – trying to get that high score makes it a very rewarding task. I’m truly excited to see how high of a score people can get… there really is no limit as to how high you can go… no ‘perfect’ run… it really is the person with the most luck, and skill!

Plenty of Fishies’ trailer is located here.
