Engine Software is bringing SMART Adventures Mission Math to the North American and European Wii U eShop next week. It will be available starting February 25th for $2.99 / €2.99.

Here’s an overview:

The game takes place on Space Station Prime, where recently promoted S.M.A.R.T. Agent Delta has docked to find total chaos. The computers are down, the science labs are a mess, and the communication system is barely functioning – is foul play involved? Playing as Agent Delta’s assistant, Junior Agent Star, players use their math skills to repair the science labs and solve the mystery. Math practice has never been this much fun!

Mission: MATH features an exciting story line, a fully customizable player avatar, science labs to explore (and repair!), and handy tutorials for each laboratory. The story line features a wide range of supporting characters with fully spoken dialog. The labs themselves are fun puzzles that will challenge the players’ math skills in fractions, decimals, bar graphs, factors, multiples, and more, all in a playful and pressure-free environment that kids will love. Parents will appreciate that it’s safe and secure for kids to enjoy without supervision.

A trailer for SMART Adventures Mission Math can be found below.

The Wii U version of Hyper Light Drifter is “currently in limbo,” according to Heart Machine. Today’s update was shared as part of a new post over on Kickstarter.

During Hyper Light Drifter’s early days, Heart Machine “had information about our engine”. The team was hoping this would result in a relatively simply port to Nintendo’s console. But now, Heart Machine says Hyper Light Drifter is in jeopardy of missing out on Wii U due to “ongoing internal contractual issues beyond our control between the platform holder and engine developer”.

You can read Heart Machine’s full update from the Kickstarter post below.
