Notion Games’ Kickstarter campaign for Super Ubi Land has ended – successfully, might we add. The title has surpassed its original target goal by far. Notion Games hoped to raise $5,000 in the span of around a month and a half, but managed to collect over $6,300.

Super Ubi Land is coming to the Wii U this spring. It will be available through the eShop.

KnapNok started to show off Spin the Bottle – the studio’s first Wii U eShop game – at GDC 2013 last month. It also gave members of the press an opportunity to experience the title at other private venues.

Spin the Bottle is most definitely unlike any Wii U game we’ve seen before. For details, check out the summary below.

– “an innocent game for innocent children”
– Spin a virtual wheel on the GamePad
– This determines what peculiar motion-controlled challenge you’ll be taking on with a partner
– TV is never used
– Blind Dog: sit down and stand a Wiimote behind you while ordering your blindfold partner
– Partner is also chosen with a wheel spin
– Partner needs to crawl and retrieve the controller without knocking it over
– Most mini-games only need the GamePad and a Wiimote or two
– Doesn’t require much room either
– Grab the Rooster: four Wiimotes are placed on a surface and players huddle around to see which one emits a rooster cluck
– Can be played in teams of four vs. four
– One team hits the “A” button once the rooster sound comes out of the Wiimote speaker
– Other team sits facing the main team and must hit the “1” button upon hearing the same sound
– Chicken calls act as false alarms
– Saw: partners push and pull their Wiimotes in unison like cutting through a tree
– Vibration provides feedback on how in step you are
– Bonus challenge lets you sing a lumberjack song
– Another mini-game: hold the GamePad and guide a rocket to collect stars and avoid bombs in a 2D wraparound arcade game resembling Asteroids
– In this game, the rocket is controlled by your partner holding the Wiimote close to their chest
– Rocket pivots down as they bend forward; pulls up as they lean back
– Need to communicate with your partner about what they need to do
– Picking Flowers: retrieve the Wiimotes without moving your feet
– Pass the Badger: two players have their back to each other passing a Wiimote from a player’s chest over their heads then under their legs without jostling it too much
– Need to have it back at its starting point under a certain amount of time
– Bonus challenge for this game: sing Happy Birthday
– Games sometimes get the audience involved
– Hide the Monkey: two chosen participants must hide a Wiimote behind one of their backs while the other players try to guess who has the metaphorical monkey
– Bonus challenge allows the audience to tickle the Wiimote-concealing participants
– Spin the Bottle chooses whoever hasn’t played the longest to take a spin
– Those who haven’t been chosen to play in awhile make up a larger section of the partner-selecting pie chart that the bottle is spun upon

EnjoyUp Games released Abyss as a DSiWare download last year. Could that same game – or perhaps a sequel – be coming to the Wii U eShop?

The company posted an interesting image on its Facebook page earlier today, which is most definitely Abyss running on Wii U in some form. Along with the photo above, EnjoyUp wrote: “Abyss on WiiU?”

Interesting stuff. It for sure sounds like EnjoyUp is tinkering around with Abyss on Nintendo’s console…

Sales of Little Inferno are currently at around the 250K mark, developer Tomorrow Corporation has confirmed. That figure is across all three platforms – PC, Wii U, and iOS. Given the quirky nature of Little Inferno, you could certainly say that it has been a success.

The Wii U eShop could potentially game a couple of new titles from Muse Games and King Art Games.

Muse took to Kickstarter last month and has already raised over $60,000 of its $100,000 goal for Guns of Icarus Online – Adventure Mode. A Wii U version hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the game’s developer has been in touch with Nintendo about the possibility.

Meanwhile, Battle Worlds: Kronos is another indie title funded through Kickstarter that has a shot of landing on Wii U. King Art Games is pleased with Nintendo’s policy changes and friendly attitude towards small developers, so Kronos could make its way to Nintendo’s console in the future.
