Wii U eShop

Dead Pixel Entertainment has revealed a second Wii U title currently in development for the eShop. The game, titled “Sync” is a Metroid Prime-inspired project.

Here’s what we know thus far:

– Has been in development for 2 weeks
– First-person adventure game
– Focus on exploration and discovery
– Players won’t be given much direction
– They’ll find out that something is terribly wrong in this world and will need to save it
– Team doesn’t want to hold players hands
– They created a world simple enough to explore with a compass
– Inspired by Metroid Prime
– World is devoid of life
– Enemy characters move through specific paths
– Dual analog first-person control scheme
– Will hopefully be out later this year
– Developed alongside Starbeast

Volleyball appears to be this week’s Virtual Console release on the North American Wii U Virtual Console. Nintendo’s website has the game listed for launch tomorrow. For $5, Volleyball can be yours.

The Wii U eShop was recently updated with a small but extremely helpful feature. Going forward, users can now see file sizes when viewing information about a piece of software. This is shown at the top of every title description.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
