Runner2 out on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow, European date undecided
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
You won’t have to wait until Thursday – the day Nintendo’s shops typically update – for Runner2. Developer Gaijin Games confirmed on Twitter that its latest title will be available on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow.
The tweet reads:
@homembarata Tuesday will be Steam and Wii U. Wednesday will be Xbox Live Arcade, and Sony will be soon to follow.

A bit of unfortunate news for our friends in Europe: it’s unclear when Runner2 will be hitting the continent. Gaijin said that the studio is “still wrapping our braintenticles around that one.”
Cryamore will be made for Wii U

Cryamore surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $60,000 several days ago. However, developer NostalgiCO was looking to raise a total of $225,000 in order to pledge support to consoles.
Just hours before the Kickstarter campaign closes, NostalgiCO has managed to collect $225,787 (and counting). That means Cryamore will be made for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U. Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android versions are also planned.
Congratulations to the folks at NostalgiCO!
Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition update on the way
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
WayForward is planning an update for Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition.
On the latest episode of “Sup, Holmes?”, Austin Ivansmith said that the studio will be addressing audio issues and “a couple of other bugs”. Ivansmith mentioned that Hyper Drive’s audio can be very loud for some players when first booting up the game.
WayForward hasn’t confirmed a release date for the update. However, once it’s ready, it’ll be available in both North America and Europe (presumably at the same time). And when it’s updated in Europe, the full game will launch in Australia.
Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition releasing in Australia “soon”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition was a Wii U eShop launch title in North America and Europe (for all intents and purposes). But in Australia, the game never saw a release.
This will be changing soon, according to WayForward. Fans can expect Mighty Switch Force HD to arrive in Australia “soon”.
The developer tweeted just a few minutes ago:
And we can finally confirm that Mighty Switch Force HD will be coming to Europe and Australia. No date set just yet, but soon.

The Kickstarter will end on March 15. Maestro hopes to raise a total of $6,000.

Maestro Interactive is bringing three titles to the Wii U eShop. One of these is Cosmic Highway.
A first screenshot was released by Maestro – posted below – but be aware that it comes from an early prototype:
The character featured in the shot is known as the “Inventor”. In Cosmic Highway, the Inventor will be able to use a smokescreen ability to cloud up his opponents’ view.

Gaijin Games says ‘Runner2’ was going to skip Wii U until they went hands-on with the console
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Gaijin Games was a staunch supporter of the Wii– and Nintendo in general– over the last generation, but believe it or not they had initially planned on skipping the Wii U with their upcoming game Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. The following comes from an interview with NES:
– Either Alex Neuse or Mike Roush; it isn’t clarified
They weren’t always completely happy with the system, however, and they say that if they had to complain about anything it would be the way Nintendo does online. They say it “isn’t as robust as Sony or Microsoft’s”, but note that it’s “WAY better than the Wii” and in the end it’s easy enough to work with once you get the hang of it.
