Cavelight Entertainment becomes official Wii U dev, Velocity Stream targeted for the eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Cavelight Entertainment has become an official Wii U developer, and could bring “Velocity Stream” to the eShop. At the moment, Cavelight isn’t in possession of any dev kits, so a Wii U release would likely arrive after the PC version.
Velocity Stream is an asymmetric racing game. While it may seem like a traditional racer, the “paver” mixes things up. One player controls the paver, which can create endless streams of energy for the other participants to race on. The track’s angle, width, and obstacles can all be modified.
Check out the video above to see Velocity Stream in action.

Precursor Games says that Shadow of the Eternals is not cancelled, but it’ll be a while before any new announcements
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Shadow of the Eternals has had quite a tumultuous development cycle, ending in its indefinite delay last September. Today, we’ve heard that the project isn’t properly “dead”, but we shouldn’t expect anything new to come out about it any time soon. This statement from the dev team was released on their forums earlier today:
We’ll be continuing to upgrade and keep the forums running and we’re taking a look at where the SOTE project is at, potential options and directions for the future as well as going over lessons learned from the campaigns.
We very much intend to keep the project alive and get back to production but please understand that there probably won’t be any major news or update for a while yet. We’ve got a lot of work ahead to understand the options available to us going forward and to do the best thing by the game.

We are officially a Wii U developer now. More news coming in the future!
— Team Kakumei (@TeamKakumei) January 19, 2014
Team Kakumei confirmed on Twitter yesterday that the indie group is now an official Wii U developer. The studio’s first order of business will be to bring the Ouya title Wrecking Balls Arena over to the eShop as “Wrecking Balls Arena DX”.
Wrecking Balls Arena DX can be considered a sequel/expansion to the initial game. It will sport new stages, items and gameplay elements. As of now, a tentative 2014 release is planned.
Team Kakumei staffer Jonathon Bont spoke about the ease in which the group became a Wii U developer on Twitter, commenting:
