Chasing Aurora developer Broken Rules announced today that its next game, Secrets of Raetikon, is heading to PC, Mac and Linux. But what about consoles? Like Wii U, perhaps?

Broken Rules isn’t ruling anything out currently, as the studio’s latest announcement says that Secrets of Raetikon may “possibly” come to consoles as well. Hopefully that means an eShop release will be realized sometime in the future.

Tengami sees a bit of a delay

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

Tengami, a new Wii U eShop from Nyamyan, has been delayed. The game was originally expected out this summer, but that release window is no longer in the cards.

Nyamyan still hopes to have the game by the end of the year, however.

[Feature] NintendoEverything Book Club (for Video Games!) – Earthbound Week 1 Details

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Book Club, Features, Site updates, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Here we go again…

Hey look, the Book Club is back, and we’re playing recently released SNES classic EarthBound! You can purchase the game on the Wii U eShop for $10 or on the internet as a Super Nintendo cartridge for several hundred dollars.

Don’t know what the Book Club is? Well golly, let me explain! Once upon a time, the hosts of NintendoEverything’s weekly podcast decided that they wanted to play and discuss the same game with one another instead of all playing different games. Thus, the idea for the “Book Club” was born.

Every few weeks we all decide on a game to play and then play it over the course of a month or so, discussing the intricate details of the level design, gameplay, story, and anything else that may cross our path while we play. It’s meant to be a super detailed and intricate discussion akin to a real-life book club, and we would love if you played along! Check out the FAQ below for more details.

“How far do I have to get this week?”
Deadline for email submissions this week: Saturday, August 10th

I’ve never played Earthbound before, but from a bit of research I’ve done I think we’re going to try and make it to the location in the game called “Winters”. I’ve been told that’s roughly 5 hours into the game, which is a lot of time, so don’t feel bad if you don’t make it there. We may not make it either.

Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]

Hit the break for info on how to participate in a discussion, plus other ‘Frequently Asked Questions’!

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Red Rocket was said to be a possibility for Wii U a few months ago. Just recently, the game was officially confirmed for Nintendo’s console.

Castle Pixel posted a backer update on Kickstarter announcing the news, and also mentioned that the team is now an official Wii U developer:

“Lots of exciting new developments since the last time we posted! In Castle Pixel news, we are now officially licensed Wii U developers, so Rex will be coming to a Nintendo Wii U sometime after the official PC game release.”

Crypt Run could come to Wii U if Kickstarter stretch goal is met

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

With enough donations on Kickstarter, Crypt Run could come to Wii U. The “arcade-style medieval fantasy hack ‘n slash” game will make its way to the console if funds reach $20,000.

You can find the official Kickstarter page here. The game itself has been funded, but just six days remain to make a Wii U version possible.
