Team behind Days of Dawn now a Wii U developer
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
German developer Bumblebee launched a Kickstarter for a new turn-based RPG, Days of Dawn, late last month. PC, Mac, and Linux were the game’s only confirmed platforms, but the indie team announced last Friday that it has become a Wii U developer. Bumblebee said that a Wii U version “is now within reach” and it would be “a dream platform for the game.”
Days of Dawn only has until mid-Sunday to reach its $50,000 goal. Currently, the total stands at $27,392. It’ll be tough to raise another $23,000 (give or take) in less than a week, but it’d certainly be nice to see another indie effort on Wii U.
You can find more information about Days of Dawn here.
Toki Tori 2 will run at 720p at 60FPS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Toki Tori 2 used to be a 1080p game. It’s now presented in 720p, but the slight downgrade in resolution will be worth it. Developer Two Tribes confirmed on Twitter today that Toki Tori 2 will now run at 60 frames-per-second as opposed to 30.
The studio wrote:
.@coldblooder Toki Tori 2 was 1080p @ 30fps, then we made it prettier and it was 720p @ 30fps, now it looks and plays great at 720p @ 60fps.

Ambient Studios talks possibility of bringing Death Inc. to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
“And even better for the Wii U because we wouldn’t have to compromise on the visuals like we might have to do if we did a tablet version (which would also be cool). I love, love, love the ‘living room’ experience of playing games — it’s my favourite setting, so it would be amazing to see it there.”
– Ambient Studios co-founder Johnny Hopper
The sooner they get it out the better! I know if it came out, got decent reviews, and wasn’t priced too ridiculously I would pick it up in a second since there isn’t much else on the eShop at this point. Heck, I almost picked up Puddle the other day simply because I wanted something to play on Wii U that was new… but I didn’t in the end. Whether there would be more support for Death Inc. I’m not sure– I know that reviews would probably play a big role in getting people to pick it up, since there likely wouldn’t be any measurable “hype” around an eShop release.
