No Wii U version of Skullgirls currently; slow sales and lack of digital presence cited
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Don’t count on a Wii U version of Skullgirls happening anytime soon.
According to the game’s official Twitter account, a release on the console “isn’t looking likely”. Skullgirls could, however, be considered for Wii U assuming “sales pick up” and Nintendo is able to “establish a digital presence”.
The relevant tweet in full:
@josemedina910 Right now a Wii-U release isn’t looking likely. If sales pick up and they establish a digital presence it’s possible, though.

Sniper Elite V2 won’t be hitting the Wii U eShop at launch
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A good amount of Wii U games tend to hit the eShop the same day as retail. Sniper Elite V2, however, will not be following this approach.
The official Sniper Elite Twitter account confirms that V2 will only be available as a disc release at launch:
@dreamahm Disc only for launch
— Sniper Elite(@SniperElite) May 8, 2013
It’s unclear if Sniper Elite V2 will arrive on the Wii U eShop at some point in the future.
Thanks to Tim for the tip.

A.N.N.E fully funded on Kickstarter; 10 days left to hit Wii U stretch goal
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A.N.N.E managed to reach its Kickstarter goal just a short while ago. Developer Gamesbymo managed to secure the full $70,000 for the project.
The Wii U stretch goal is still within sight. Within the next ten days, Gamesbymo will need to raise a total of $150,000 to absolutely guarantee the game for Nintendo’s console. Something tells me that the Wii U won’t be completely out of the question if the stretch goal isn’t hit, but it’d be nice to see it reached in any case!
Dark Tonic Games becomes Wii U dev, planning a couple of games
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Dark Tonic Games is now an official Wii U developer. The company is planning two games for the eShop: a zombie defense tower title and another that “combines the craziness of games like Godzilla Destroy All Monsters and Power Stone for a fresh take on a Rampage-style game of multiplayer city destruction, with a bit of Earth Defense Force providing a completely different way to play the game.”
Creative director Eric Boosman gave an overview as to what Wii U owners can expect from the studio’s games while speaking with Nintendo Life:
We have a couple of games planned that really take advantage of the Wii U’s unique asymmetrical control possibilities and offer up some fresh gameplay.
One combines the craziness of games like Godzilla Destroy All Monsters and Power Stone for a fresh take on a Rampage-style game of multiplayer city destruction, with a bit of Earth Defense Force providing a completely different way to play the game.
