Keen Games has officially announced TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition and has confirmed that the game will be out on the Wii U eShop on September 26 for $7.99.

The game includes three game modes, four tournament modes, multiplayer, online leaderboards, various cars, tracks, challenges, and more.

You can find even more details in the official announcement below.


Rumor has it that Wii U and 3DS will soon be receiving a shared eShop balance. It’ll work like this: if you add funds on the Wii U eShop, the total will be carried over to the 3DS store – and vise versa.

Don’t expect to hear anything about this today, though. The rumor, which comes from Emily Rogers, isn’t expected to be covered during the Nintendo Direct presentation in just a couple of hours.

Image & Form will be continuing on with the “SteamWorld” name after this week’s release of SteamWorld Dig.

According to CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson, the team is “following up in the SteamWorld series with a radically different sort of gameplay.” Sigurgeirsson hopes that the new title will be ready in the somewhat near future.

He said:


When CastleStorm was initially revealed, Zen Studios hinted at a release on Nintendo systems. Months went by without any sort of announcement regarding additional platforms, but we assumed a Wii U version was in the works – and now we’re one step closer to receiving a confirmation.

We recently spotted a Wii U listing for CastleStorm on the USK, a ratings board in Germany. The site also has entries for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita versions.

In hopes of obtaining an official confirmation, we reached out to Zen Studios. We were first told that the company intends “to bring CastleStorm to as many platforms as possible.” “Timing is always a challenge”, Zen Studios also said when it comes to an announcement, “however Nintendo fans will be enjoying more Zen Studios games this year”.

So that’s kind of like a confirmation, without obtaining an actual confirmation. Based on the USK ratings and Zen Studios’ non-denial, I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing CastleStorm on Wii U (and PS3, PS Vita) as originally expected.


Two new Virtual Console games are on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. The two Famicom games Metroid and Kid Icarus will be out on August 14. Pricing is set at 500 yen.
