Wii U eShop


Astrogun founder Xander Davis made waves when he blasted the Wii U last year. Since then, he changed his tune and has high praise for Nintendo’s indie approach.

Davis’ new interest in the Wii U has resulted in his company becoming an official developer for the system. Better yet, Project CIDER has been confirmed for the eShop.

Davis told Nintendo Life:

“The kid in me is so thrilled to be making a game for a major Nintendo console that I dug up all my Nintendo Powers from 1988 onward and have been pouring over them for inspiration. It’s a good feeling, and I think that’s already making its way into the game design. I’m fulltime developing Project CIDER now, and the next few months are especially going to be very intense with a lot of rapid development. It’s a very exciting time.”

There’s something unusual going on with the Wii U version of Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. It’s the only edition of the game that hasn’t come out yet. Chronicles of Mystara hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in mid-June, but it’s nowhere to be found on Wii U.

So what’s the deal here? We don’t have any specifics currently, but over at the Capcom-Unity boards, staffer Rey Jimenez said that releasing the Wii U SKU “as been a bit of a nightmare for that producer.”

Jimenez isn’t involved with Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, so we’re unlikely to get further details about the situation from him. This whole thing is certainly pretty odd…
