Following the release of Nano Assault Neo, developer Shin’en will continue its support of the Wii U eShop. The studio said that Neo only “scratched the surface”, with two more projects planned. Shin’en is currently working on a game “in the racing genre”. A sequel to WiiWare’s FAST – Racing League, perhaps?

And speaking of Nano Assault Neo, it’s one of the company’s “fastest selling games ever”. Shin’en will bring its first update to the downloadable title soon, which Manfred Linzner says “will fix a display problem in the online rankings, and a minor issue when the GamePad does disconnect.”

“We’ve already submitted a first patch to Nintendo that will fix a display problem in the online rankings, and a minor issue when the GamePad does disconnect. To our knowledge there are no restrictions in such updates by Nintendo.”

Nintendo of Europe has done a standout job with eShop sales thus far. 3DS VC titles have been discounted regularly, and even Wii U eShop titles have started to see temporary price drops.

The same can’t be said for the situation in North America. Sales have been few and far between, and the Wii U store has yet to see a single discount.

One does have to wonder why there haven’t been any Wii U sales yet. Broken Rules co-founder Felix Bohatsch recently wrote on Twitter that the studio would like to have a sale for Chasing Aurora, “but we can’t yet”.

Bohatsch tweeted:

“We’d love to put @Chasing_Aurora on sale in the US as well, but we can’t yet… you’ll have to ask @NintendoAmerica what the exact reasons are…”

Trine 2: Director’s Cut could be just the start of Frozenbyte’s Wii U support. Sales and marketing manager Mikael Haveri has said that the studio is “very interested” in working on the console once more.

“We are very interested in working on it again. Who knows, but if everything goes well maybe even sooner than many might suspect.”

Haveri also commented on sales of Trine 2: Director’s Cut thus far. Haversi said the title is selling “fairly well according to our calculations”.
