Wii U eShop

Olympia Rising is coming to Nintendo’s console courtesy of Elliot Quest Wii U developer PlayEveryWare, the studio’s Thomas O’Connor has revealed to Nintendo Everything. The company partnered with creator Paleozoic Games to port and publish on the eShop. It should be available “in all regions” sometime in April.

Originally released last year, Olympia Rising is a 2D action-platformer featuring the young warrior Iola. After meeting an untimely end, she’s found herself in the Underworld. Iola can use a jumping and attack mechanic to take down enemies and help climb the Underworld with great maneuverability.

Here’s a trailer for Olympic Rising:

PlayEveryWare has also told Nintendo Everything that the match-3 puzzle title Jewel Quest is coming to Wii U. While PlayEveryWare worked on the port, iWin will be publishing. O’Connor anticipates that a release date will be shared “very soon.”

Advance Wars: Dual Strike came out this week as Europe’s latest Wii U Virtual Console game. For a look at the title, watch the video below.

A new trailer for Dungeons & Robots recently went live to promote the game on Steam Early Access. Check out the video below.

Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.

One announcement that went under the radar during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct is Futuridium EP Deluxe for Nintendo platforms. Yesterday, MixedBag revealed that Futuridium EP Deluxe is coming to both Wii U and New 3DS. This shoot’em up was originally released in 2014.

Here’s an overview of Futuridium EP Deluxe:

Futuridium EP Deluxe is a psychedelic retro inspired shoot’em up with a modern twist, that blends together frantic action, puzzle elements, a vibrant low poly aesthetic and an heart pumping electronic soundtrack. As a lone starship pilot lost in a dimensional loop just before a big space battle, with a limited and constantly depleting energy tank, your only hope is to fly as fast as possible over enormous space dreadnoughts, destroying their defenses and the cyan power cubes to get some energy back.

Try to escape the infinite loop of Futuridium: you can count only on your reflexes, your dual lasers, the nimbleness of your starship and… the ability to turn 180° on the spot! Can you beat all the 50 levels, the 5 bosses, unlock all the extra game modes and collect the 150 medals?

Good luck! You’ll need it…

Futuridium EP Deluxe will be out “soon” on Nintendo’s systems. Both versions run at 60 frames per second, and the New 3DS version will offer 3D support.

A few screenshots from Futuridium EP Deluxe are in the gallery below.
