Wii U eShop

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.

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.
