Lost in Shadow is due out on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow as a Wii download, according to Nintendo’s website. The game was made available digitally in Europe back in July.
Nintendo’s listing contains the following overview:
“When a boy becomes separated from his shadow, he must journey along with a sylph named Spangle to unlock the mysteries across the land shaded by the looming Tower. You will need to battle and find aid amongst the shadows as you manipulate light and traverse this alternate land where even gravity isn’t a factor.”
Lost in Shadow will cost $19.99 when it launches on the eShop.

Hex Heroes developers on possibility of Nintendo Switch port
Posted on 9 years ago by Zack in Switch, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
The developers of Hex Heroes, which is still currently slated to be released for the Wii U, have commented on the Nintendo Switch and the possibility of Hex Heroes appearing on it.
While initially expected for release in 2015, Hex Heroes is still under development after its successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign. The game utilizes the gamepad and 5-player potential of the Wii U heavily, and as such porting it to other systems would be a tricky scenario. It seems that the developers of the game are hopeful at the prospects of a Switch port though, as in the most recent backer update they go over the details of what a Switch port of Hex Heroes would look like, how the controls would work and ask for backers input on whether they’d like to see a Switch port of the game if possible.
Based on the trailer, it doesn’t appear that one Switch can perfectly mimic the Wii U’s ability to display different visuals on the TV vs. the gamepad. Two Switches, on the other hand, could. One Switch for the commander, and one switch docked to the TV for four player split screen. This makes an assumption about the Switch being able to support up to four players, though – the trailer has only shown up to two (granted, they were on the portable screen, not the TV). At best, two Switches can offer the Wii U experience, and at worst, three Switches will be needed (for 5 players). Again, time will tell.
It’s worth noting that Hex Heroes is being built for ALL control schemes on the Wii U. We don’t want to bar players from joining in the fun just because they only have Wii remotes. This early decision will serve us well, if we can make the move to Switch, given that each mini-controller has roughly the same amount of buttons.
