Wii U eShop

A total of six Warner Bros. games have been discounted on the Wii U eShop. They’re as follows:

Batman: Arkham Origins – $39.99
Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure – $39.99
Scribblenauts Unlimited – $19.99
Injustice: Gods Among Us – $39.99
Hot Wheels World’s Best Driver – $19.99
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes – $19.99

I’m assuming these are permanent drops as the eShop doesn’t mention an expiry date for any of these sales.

Thanks to GR for the tip.

Ping 1.5+ may or may not end up receiving a level editor on Wii U.

Developer Christopher Arnold mentioned on Twitter that the functionality could be added into the game in the form of an update. For now, he’s currently exploring what’s feasible.

In more general news, Arnold says that he’s “thinking now of exclusive Wii U features” to incorporate multiplayer.

Ripstone has shown strong support for Wii U thus far having already released Knytt Underground on the eShop, and Pure Chess to follow in the coming months. A third game from the publisher also appears to be on the way: Stick it to the Man.

USK has listed the platformer for release on Wii U. That’s not a concrete confirmation, but the German ratings board has been generally reliable in the past. Developer Zoink Games also recently teased upcoming news for Wii U.

We’ve reached out to Ripstone about Stick it to the Man’s USK listing, and will provide an update if we receive a response.

NG.DEV.TEAM previously confirmed Gunlord for the 3DS eShop, but it sounds like we can expect even more love from one of the game’s developers, René Hellwig, on Nintendo platforms going forward.

Hellwig told Nintendo Life that there are plans to support Wii U as well as 3DS. Redux: Dark Matters is one such game that could make its way on the eShop.

Hellwig’s comments in full:

We have plans for Wii U and 3DS. We think Redux would look amazing with stereoscopic 3D graphics! Since we developed the game on PC with HD graphics it will be easy for us to port the game to Nintendo consoles. Nintendo is more straightforward with Indie devs, and we believe that in the coming years Nintendo consoles will be a great place to publish Indie games.

Space Enigma Studios’ new project, Space Pioneer, is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. The team has raised nearly $18,000 of the $150,000 goal with 41 days remaining.

Real world astronauts, writers, artists, designers, and architects are all involved with Space Pioneer. It features a mix of space sim, real-time strategy, and city-building mechanics.

Space Enigma has expressed interest in bringing Space Pioneer to Nintendo’s console, with the studio telling us, “We want Space Pioneer to become the best space based game on Wii U.”

You can find Space Pioneer on Kickstarter here. If the $150,000 target is surpassed, new platforms will be announced for the campaign as stretch goals.
