Wii U eShop

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

A few new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.

Teslagrad developer Rain Games have posted an update about the state of World to the West for Wii U. Apparently, they’ve been getting some issues with Nintendo’s console, but now they have found a way to optimize the game’s performance.

Sadly, this means that World to the West will get delayed. In their announcement, Rain Games have stated that they do not want to release a game that later on will need a patch to fix a less polished state.

They reassure possible buyers that World to the West will definitely come to Wii U, but we don’t have a possible date yet.

World to the West will launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC next week. Hopefully it won’t be long before we hear about the Wii U version release.

A few new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.

SnowCastle Games was last hoping to launch Earthlock: Festival of Magic on Wii U by early March. That didn’t happen though, and we haven’t heard much about the Wii U version since. A new Kickstarter update provides an update on the situation.

SnowCastle is reconfirming that the Wii U version is on the way. As for the holdup, the team explained:

“I would like to ensure you all that we are still working on the Wii U version. We did the first optimization pass in January and were very hopeful that we would be able to release the game soon after that. However during the Quality Assurance process afterwards, we concluded that it needed more work, and so here we are.

The Wii U version has gone through a full second optimization pass and is now in QA again. We are still working hard on getting it out ASAP, but having missed the estimated date in the last KS update, I’ll just stick to the ‘as soon as possible.'”

A Switch version of Earthlock is still an uncertainty. However, if it does happen, all Wii U backers will receive a copy for free.
