The official Pro Wrestling X Twitter account posted the following message today:
@ShawnLong85 I have to admit… we've have gotten a TON of Wii U port requests. So much so we might have to do the math.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams sells over 1 million copies
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Runner2 isn’t the only Wii U eShop title confirmed to have sold one million copies this week. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams has reached the same target, Black Forest Games has announced.
Black Forest Games’s managing director Andreas Speer said of the milestone:
“One million copies sold absolutely qualifies Giana Sisters as an indie hit – and yet it took a Kickstarter campaign to be able to develop the game. It wouldn’t have been possible in the classic way through publisher financing. It is only thanks to the dedication of our 6,000 backers that one million gamers (and counting) got the chance to play.”

Ballpoint Universe will take a little while longer to launch. According to developer Arachnid Games, it’ll require 2-3 weeks of additional development time while last-minute bugs are ironed out.

It looks like the Wii U version will take another 2-3 weeks longer than expected while we work out the bugs. 🙁

Turtle Tale now planned for Wii U as well
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
In addition to 3DS, Turtle Tale is now slated for Wii U. Developer Saturnine Games sent the 3DS version off recently and then began experimenting with Wii U. The console version “is coming along very quickly”, though a release date is a long ways off.
Saturnine Games wrote on Twitter today:
After sending Turtle Tale off to 3DS lot check, it seemed like a good time to look into Wii U. pic.twitter.com/p1pEKt51nI

It's still too early to guess at a release date, but the WIi U version of Turtle Tale is coming along very quickly.
— Saturnine Games (@SaturnineGames) March 14, 2014
Saturnine Games’ Edward Di Geronimo also tweeted out some positive thoughts about working with Wii U:
Early thoughts on Wii U dev… the system is really, really easy to develop for. Took about a week to get the 3DS game running on it.
— Edward Di Geronimo (@EdDiGeronimo) March 14, 2014
Also rather impressed with the architecture of the Wii U. No obvious trouble spots. Seems very well balanced.
— Edward Di Geronimo (@EdDiGeronimo) March 14, 2014
My gut says I'll focus on 3DS more on future games, but with how easy porting to Wii U was, I'll almost certainly hit both platforms.
— Edward Di Geronimo (@EdDiGeronimo) March 14, 2014
@pxlplz It's not THAT fast! I think you can play the entire game on Wii U now, but lotcheck would rip it to shreds…

The OFLC has rated yet another probable release for the Virtual Console. Yesterday, Nobunaga’s Ambition was added to the Australian classification database. My guess would be that this rating is for the Wii U eShop. We’ll keep track of this listing going forward.
