Wii U eShop


EnjoyUp Games has shared a few details about one of its upcoming Wii U eShop titles, Rock’N Racing Off Road.

The racer will support at least three modes: arcade, time trial, and multiplayer. In the latter mode, five gamers can play at once.

Rock’N Racing Off Road also supports off-TV play, and features “realistic physics for driving, jumps and crashes”. Players can count on plenty of rock and roll music as well.

Music rhythm adventure game Tadpole Treble has hit its Kickstarter goal and will now be made into a PC game, but its Wii U stretch goal is still about $10K away. The Kickstarter has already ended so donations cannot be given that way, but the team does accept PayPal money, so if you’re truly interested in seeing this game on Wii U then head over here to send them your money.

Super Ubie Land has been out on several platforms for a few months, but there hasn’t been much news regarding the Wii U version. That’s changed today thanks to an update from Notion Games.

Super Ubie Land will arrive on the eShop in early 2014, the studio has confirmed on Twitter. Notion hopes to wrap up development by Christmas. Before it lands on Wii U, Super Ubie Land will see another name change.
