There are lots of Wii U apps on the way – especially for the Japanese Wii U console. Panorama View, Google Maps, and Nico Nico were previously announced for the system. In addition to these programs, Demae-Can and YNN services will be coming to Wii U in 2013.

The Demae-Can app acts as a TV delivery service. YNN, on the other hand, provides video content including anime, sports, and movies. Neither app can be used without a membership.

Indie developer WaterMelon said that if it reached its goal of $200,000 on Kickstarter, it would bring Pier Solar and the Great Architects to the Wii U eShop. The achievement was reached earlier today – a little less than two days before the campaign ends.

For those wondering, the Wii U version won’t be included as a reward/add-on. A message from the developer reads:

We will unfortunately not be adding the Wii U version as a reward or ADD-ON as we just do not have enough time left at this point.
Each of your pledge’s are directly what helped make it a reality in the first place, so thanks for your support!

The Wii U version of Pier Solar HD will be available for purchase once it is officially released late next year, so it won’t make any difference if you pledged now or purchased it then – that’s when it will be released regardless.

Thank you for your understanding and support everyone – we can’t express this enough!

Pier Solar and the Great Architects is a long way off from launch, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more about it throughout the next year.

As is the case with the 3DS, Wii U demos have play limits.

FIFA 13, the first game to ever receive a demo on the Wii U store, can only be accessed ten times. Once this limit has been reached, the trial won’t launch.

Play locks will likely vary between demos. On the 3DS, we’ve seen downloads that maintain a limit as few as five and as high as thirty. There’s even been one instance in which unlimited plays have been offered.

EA’s FIFA 13 demo is only available on the European eShop at the moment. A Rayman Legends demo should be on the way to the North American and European Wii U stores in the near future.
