Wii U eShop

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.

Following the release of Mighty Switch Force! on the 3DS eShop, WayForward created a free update that brought along five new levels and other small changes. Could something similar happen with its console brother, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Edition?

When asked about the possibility, Voldi Way said:

“You know it’s hard to say just yet. I mean we don’t have any plans, I should say that. Then again, we didn’t have any plans to add new levels for the first one. If it does well and people like it then yeah we’ll keep adding stuff.”

And WayForward level designer Chris Schroder added:

“We can keep on adding levels if you guys want.”

Wii U owners can now grab Ubisoft’s Uplay app from the eShop. It’s only a 43MB program, so it shouldn’t take long to download and install.

If you can’t locate the app on the eShop, search for “Uplay” and it should pop up in the results.

Frozenbyte has revealed plans to update Trine 2: Director’s Cut next month. When the patch is made available, players will be able to chat with each other online. The only caveat is that you’ll need a headset with a separate mic to take advantage of the functionality.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
