Wii U eShop

Earthlock: Festival of Magic remains on track for Wii U, and the developer is finishing up this release. The team is sorting through some last challenges at the moment. If everything is properly completed, Earthlock could be hitting Wii U at the end of February / start of March.

Now, what about Switch? SnowCastle Games is still interested in the platform, but writes in a Kickstarter update that “Nintendo has not given us a clear response on when we may expect to publish on their new console.”

The full status update for Earthlock on Nintendo platforms reads:

“The Wii U version is giving us some challenges, but we have made great progress. Only the last few scenes remain to be optimised. We hope to enter certification in about 2 weeks. It might be tight, but we are still optimistic about a Wii U launch around the end of February/ beginning of March. I’ll keep you posted once we have more precise dates.

Nintendo Switch is still an uncertainty. Nintendo has not given us a clear response on when we may expect to publish on their new console. Feel free to use social media to let Nintendo know that you want Earthlock on the Switch. (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica).”

Update 2: Bumped to the top. The issues have now been addressed.



Update: Nintendo has posted on Twitter that they are working to resolve issues relating to the sale:


Original: As part of Europe’s Zelda Weeks 2017 sale, Nintendo has been announcing that all Zelda games would get a 30% discount for My Nintendo users. Now that the sale is live, we have found out that that is partially true.

You’ll be able to choose among a great variety of Zelda games, but choose wisely because the code you will get is single-use.

People on NeoGAF are warning about this because some users have added lots of money to their eShop accounts in hopes of taking advantage of this opportunity, only to find out that all prices go back to their original state after the first purchase.

Apparently, this is not a glitch as Nintendo states how My Nintendo coupons are single-use.

Back in July of last year, indie developer Squad announced that Wii U version of their game Kerbal Space Program would be available “this Winter”. Well, we are now in the middle of that Winter, but the game is nowhere to be seen on Wii U. In fact, it looks like the Wii U version might be cancelled for good. Here’s what Squad’s community manager had to say on their official forums on the topic:

“The industry landscape changed since we made that announcement. Although we were excited to release this port, external factors are forcing us to reevaluate if it is the right move for Kerbal Space Program. It is still to soon to give you a definite decision, so we’ll give you more detailed information in the future.”

Still a fairly vague answer and no definitive confirmation that the Wii U version has been cancelled, but it’s seems fairly likely that that is what’s going to happen eventually. We will keep you updated on the matter – perhaps Squad will do what many other developers have done and shift their focus towards a Switch version of the game instead.

Nintendo’s website has updated with two more Wii U Virtual Console games slated for release in North America. Along with Flying Warriors, which we posted about today, Kung-Fu Heroes and Little Ninja Brothers will be out tomorrow.

Here are overviews of each:

Kung-Fu Heroes

“Monsters have taken Princess Min-Min, and the treasures. The whole land has fallen into sorrow. Only Kung-Fu Masters Jacky and Lee can save the princess and retrieve the treasures. Their journey will take them to eight different castles filled with a host of traps and obstacles. Use Punches and the Miracle Kick to defeat the enemies. Whether or not you make it to the last castle depends on your quick wits and reflexes.”

Little Ninja Brothers

“You are spirited Ninja boys, Jack and Ryu, who take off on a journey to defeat the Yoma Clan. Fight enemies with various skills such as punches, kicks, swords, and throwing stars. Take your attacks to the next level with special items like the Iron Claws and the Crush Punch. Work as a team to bring peace back to Chinaland.”
