Kerbal Space Program might not be coming to Wii U after all
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments
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.

Kung-Fu Heroes, Little Ninja Brothers hitting the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
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.”

Flying Warriors seemingly hitting the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
This week’s North American Wii U Virtual Console game appears to be Flying Warriors. It just appeared on Nintendo’s website, yet strangely, it’s listing a release date of January 20. We assume this was simply an error, and was intended to be January 25 instead.
In any case, here’s an overview of Flying Warriors:
“When the evil red star appears in the sky, the great monster of the Dark Dimension, Demonyx, returns. The five Flying Warriors, led by Rick Stalker, are sent by the Dragon Lord to defeat Demonyx. Fight through four game modes. Choose one of two different fighting styles. One for beginners, and one for those who can master the martial arts. Use items and Mystic Spells in your quest to rescue the Light Dimension from darkness.”
Flying Warriors will set you back $4.99.

The launch of forma.8, the latest game from Futuridium EP Deluxe developer MixedBag Games, was targeted for February after a development of almost three years.
And now they have just confirmed that forma.8 will definitely meet that launch window, coming out on Wii U sometime next month. Having passed both Nintendo of America and Europe processes, it’s only a matter of time before they divulge the day it will launch on Wii U.
A port of forma.8 for 3DS is also planned for a future date.
We've been quiet lately but we can confirm that forma.8 will definitely come out in February! #WiiU #PS4 #PSVita #XboxOne #Steam! pic.twitter.com/cjimfaKQyf

Nefarious may move from Wii U to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 16 Comments
Nefarious could be the latest indie game to jump ship from Wii U to Switch.
In a Kickstarter update, StarBlade Games talks about how cancelling Nefarious’ Wii U version is being considered. Switch would obviously be taking its place. To decide on which direction to take, the team is currently asking fans about what they believe is the best course of action.
StarBlade’s Kickstarter update contains the following note:
“The release of the Switch is certainly throwing a monkey wrench into things. We have our Wii U dev kit, and we really want to do a release on it. But like many devs in our situation, we’ve been considering pivoting our stance and focusing on the Switch as opposed to the Wii U. However, we wanted this to be a discussion with our backers. Is this something you would like to see?”
