Kick & Fennick is out now for Wii U on the eShop in both North America and Europe. Take a look at the launch trailer below.

Ezekiel Rage is gearing up to launch a new game for Wii U going by the name “Citadale: Gate of Souls”. The 8-bit action game is already with Nintendo’s lot check, meaning we should be seeing it on the eShop soon.

Here’s an overview:

Step into the hellouse once again. Citadale is a classic retro 8bit action game in the veins of so many NES classics. Vampires, zombies and other creatures of the night await. What a horrible night to have a curse.

You are Sonja Dorleac, a young woman on a mission to stop the local Dark Lord from plunging the lands into the darkness. Armed with the Shadow Blade, a legendary sword given to her by her husband and her wits, she sets out to restore peace to the lands.

Designed for use with the Wii U gamepad, this game gives you total control over your gameplay experience. The full level layout on the TV allows you to see hidden rooms and enemies that attack from above or below while the gamepad shows you the close surroundings of your character. Switch between different viewpoints to always see what you need to in order to survive the journey.

The game supports Off-TV play, the Wii U Pro Controller, The Wii Remote and the Wii Classic Controller as well as Miiverse posting.

And a trailer:

SteamWorld Heist has been out on 3DS for a few months, but Image & Form has since turned its efforts to other versions of the game. You can see what the HD release – which will be on Wii U – looks like below.

Sneaky Ninja remains in the works, and Starfall Studios provided a substantial update today by going over the game’s second chapter, Bento Plains. This area “is all about farmland, which brings a host of new farm-themed level mechanics”. In Bento Plains, you can hide in grain/rise, use animals to your benefit, and take shelter in barns.

You can read Starfall Studios’ full blog post here. The next update will cover he snow level, Shiro Mountain.

RCMADIAX has dated its new game Splashy Duck for the Wii U eShop. The title is set to arrive on June 23 in North America, Europe, and Australia.
