DoubleFine’s multiplatform digital download title The Cave has been announced for Wii U. Greg Rice, a representative for the company, noted that a version is in the works for the upcoming console. It will be released on the Wii U eShop – presumably at the same time as the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/PC release.

The Cave features platforming and adventure gameplay. It comes from Ron Gilbert, who spent his early years with LucasArts and made classics such as Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island.

You can find some recently released screenshots here.

Hooray it’s back! Interesting topic that came to mind, sort of related to the podcast we’re trying to make function properly. What do you guys think?

Edit: I enjoy that- despite the new channel, new camera, and new “season”- youtube still picks the greatest thumbnails. So good. So brave.

The ESRB has rated two more pieces of software for Wii U. Game show-based titles Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune will both be coming to the new console, according to the ratings board.

In other news, the ESRB delisted Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 for Wii U. Was the initial rating a mistake, or an accidental leak?

Codemasters says that its “tight deadline” has forced the studio to decide against making F1 2012 for the Wii U and PlayStation Vita. Instead, the company wants to “keep maintaining the quality” of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.

According to F1 2012’s creative director Steve Hood:

“The internal Birmingham team is doing the 360/PS3 versions and that stretches us, to be honest. Year-after-year we’ve got that tight deadline of trying to get the game out, and so we can’t take on another one internally if we want to keep maintaining the quality or push for [F1] to be ever-improving.”

F1 won’t be releasing on the Wii U and Vita in 2012, but Hood believes that the series could hit both platforms in the future. Codemasters could ask a team in Brighton, a studio that often produces the PC editions, to handle this task.

“We work with a team in Brighton who do a lot of the PC work and work on some of the console elements, so we’re trying to expand that team. So as we’re doing that, I suspect that brings the likelihood of doing Vita or Wii U versions back onto the table as a discussion because you’ve got scope to deal with it. Whereas I think a lot of developers are often trying to cover every single format known to man without really increasing their teams sufficiently.”

This news does come as a bit of a surprise. Game director Paul Jeal recently indicated that we may not see the main F1 games on Wii U – at least on a yearly basis – due to the console’s potential audience. Jeal felt that F1 Race Stars may be a more appropriate title for the system.
