Featuring a robust crafting system, unique survival guide and a host of playable characters, How to Survive strands players on a remote archipelago off the coast of Colombia in the aftermath of an unexplained accident … but you’re not alone. In order to survive, you must fulfill the most basic of needs – seeking out food, water and shelter, as well as crafting dozens of tools and weapons from fishing rods to Molotov cocktails. Players can also team up with other survivors in local and online multiplayer story and challenge modes to take on a growing array of the infected.

How to Survive will be released this fall. We’ll try to find out if this one really is in the works for Wii U.

Thanks to LetsPlayWiiU for the tip.

Oddworld dev: Nintendo has been “fantastic” to work with

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

Nintendo has been “fantastic” to work with, Just Add Water CEO and Oddworld Inhabitants development director Stewart Gilray has told us.

Stewart shared the information in an interview soon to be published on Nintendo Everything. He also officially confirmed that Dan Adelman, the man in charge of all things indie at Nintendo of America, specifically asked for Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD on Wii U. That was the starting point for the title’s presence on Nintendo’s new console, along with Munch’s Oddysee HD.

“Indeed, their developer relations man is a fan of the franchise so reached out to us to ask for that title specifically, that’s where the discussions started. In terms of what are they like to work with, they’re fantastic. I’ve NEVER had a problem with working with Nintendo in respect of their people and teams, it’s been a case of a problem in terms of the hardware and indeed the lack of a competent digital outlet, until now.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Indie developer Barnstorm Games just launched its Kickstarter for “Pro Pinball: Timeshock!” yesterday. The campaign has already raised over £17,000 of the £40,000 goal.

The campaign doesn’t have any Wii U or 3DS stretch goals at present (that could change in the future), but Barnstorm has interest in bringing Pro Pinball to both platforms “eventually”.

You can support Pro Pinball: Timeshock! on Kickstarter here. Barnstorm intends to include realistic tables, worldwide leaderboards, and more.

Project Ravensdale has “a good chance” of coming to Wii U

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

Project Ravensdale, an “outrageous run&gun platformer” from Black Forest Games, may come to Wii U. The studio recently told us that “there is actually a good chance” of the game being brought over to the console.

Black Forest launched its Kickstarter for Project Ravensdale earlier this month. Currently, $43,000 of the $500,000 goal has been raised with 16 days remaining.

It’s not clear how a potential Wii U version would be affected if the title isn’t funded by August 16.

Project Ravensdale wouldn’t be Black Forest Games’ first Wii U title. The company is on the verge of releasing Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams for the eShop.
