Wii U eShop

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.

The indie dev wrote in a new website posting:

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’!



Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD and Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty are coming to Wii U next year.

They’re worth your attention.


Read the full interview here.


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.”

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.



Retromade Games is bringing at least two games to the Wii U: Hell IX, a helicopter shooter and Fixie Joe, a run & jump experience.

Actually, there’s one catch with the former. Hell IX will need to reach its Kickstarter funding goal of $22,000 in order to begin production.

Hell IX and Fixie Joe titles appear to be just the start of Retromade’s support. CEO Jose A. Gallardo told Nintendo Life about a couple of new ideas – “one related to space conquest and combat and the other related to ancient Asian mythologies, a sort of MMO.”

Jett Rocket originally started out on Wii as a WiiWare title. In December 2011, developer Shin’en announced a sequel for the 3DS as an eShop release.

Yet even though Jett Rocket is making the transition from console to handheld, Shin’en isn’t opposed to bring Jett Rocket II to the Wii U eShop.

You may remember how, a few weeks ago, Shin’en published a tweet that seemed to ask fans about their feelings regarding an HD version. We followed up with the studio about the possibility of a Wii U port, and were told the following:

“We originally didn’t plan a Wii U version of JR2 but since we connected a 3DS devkit to a TV to capture some footage we realized the game would work great on the big screen. So if fans really ask for it we would be happy to go for it.”

So there you have it. Want Jett Rocket II on Wii U? Let Shin’en know!
