At one point, Pipeworks Software was planning an original board game style IP for Wii U. The project ended up being cancelled for unspecified reasons. Pipeworks is said to have been making Wii U games through 2012 and 2013.
The company did end up with a couple of titles on Wii U. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy were originally published by THQ, and are now owned by Nordic Games.

Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS Club Nintendo soundtrack seemingly being sent out
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 8 Comments
The Super Smash Bros. soundtrack appears to be making its way out to Club Nintendo members.
As of today, Nintendo has started sending emails about an unnamed physical reward being shipped. Since the order number is in line with what’s listed on users’ Club Nintendo page, it appears that this is in fact the Smash Bros. soundtrack.
Fans were able to reserve the soundtrack by registering Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS on Nintendo’s rewards site. Another bonus – Mewtwo DLC – will be available this spring.
Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
Xenoblade Chronicles X director talks more about navigating the world
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
The world in Xenoblade Chronicles X is huge. However, there are several ways that navigation can be made easier in the game.
We’ve already seen elements like the Hopper Camera and Navigation Ball. On the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account, director Koh Kojima mentioned that there’s also an auto-run feature as well as skip travel.
He said:
It appears that the Hopper Camera and Navigation Ball have been well received. For straight movement, there’s an auto-run feature and of course, there’s also the skip travel. As a developer, however, I feel conflicted because I want you to travel leisurely and enjoy the various views and the enemy placement…This is a tricky point, isn’t it.

Update: Translation is below:
We’ll introduce some of the weapons you can use in battle.
This is called the “Splashooter”.
The strength, range, and firing-rate are well balanced and useful in a variety of situations.
It’s easy to use for just about everyone; you might even call it the standard weapon.
We’ll update this post with a translation a little later on. Stay tuned!
