Dodge Club Party heading to the Wii U eShop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
James Montagna, who previously brought Dot Arcade to the Wii U eShop, has another game coming to the system soon. Dodge Club Party could be out in North America as early as March for $1.99.
Here’s a brief overview of the game:
“Dodge Club Party on Wii U is a frantic multiplayer free-for-all in an impressively micro 16×16 pixel arena! Gather your friends and dodge the fireball together! Will you mischievously sabotage other players to be the last one standing? Or perhaps you can all work as a team for the highest score of the night! Once the fireball is loose, anything goes!”
Dodge Club Party will also feature a 5-player multiplayer mode that takes advantage of the Wii U GamePad.

Undertale creator considering Wii U port
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 24 Comments
Yesterday, rumors of the acclaimed indie game Undertale possibly heading to Nintendo platforms spread like wildfire after it discovered that someone from Nintendo of America’s developer support reached out to creator Toby Fox on Twitter. Fox, in response to the speculation, decided to share an official update on his own page.
Bringing Undertale to Nintendo platforms won’t be easy. The game was created in Game Maker, which doesn’t export to Wii U and 3DS. That means it would probably need to be completely reprogrammed. That being said, it sounds like Fox is open to giving things a shot.
Undertale would have a better shot at coming to Wii U than 3DS. Fox actually referred to Wii U specifically in his final tweet regarding a Wii U port. He’s also unsure as to how he’d use both screens on 3DS.
Here’s everything he posted on Twitter:
It's surreal that it's newsworthy that a Nintendo rep tweeted at me. I actually already talked to Nintendo about a port months ago… ^^;;
— toby's Fox (@FwugRadiation) February 4, 2016
But Game Maker (what I use) doesn't export to any Nintendo platforms. In most cases, the game would have to be reprogrammed from scratch.
— toby's Fox (@FwugRadiation) February 4, 2016
So I'm concerned about accuracy/bugs. I've reached the point of "might as well try it" though. This isn't an announcement or promise.
— toby's Fox (@FwugRadiation) February 4, 2016
BTW, I wouldn't do the porting/reprogramming myself. It'd be up to someone else. I don't know any actual programming languages LOL
— toby's Fox (@FwugRadiation) February 4, 2016
ALSO if there was a Wii U port do you think all the UNDERTALE Miiverse posts would finally have a home? Or would it just spread them more?
— toby's Fox (@FwugRadiation) February 4, 2016
@cubewatermelon Really? What would you do with the other screen?
— toby's Fox (@FwugRadiation) February 4, 2016
@cubewatermelon Yeah, it's actually not simple at all… I would probably feel guilty if I didn't use both screens somehow, too

Eurogamer backs up Mother 3 localization rumors
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U eShop | 15 Comments
Emily Rogers’ hint that Mother 3 would finally see a Western release this year caused quite a stir yesterday. Several news outlets naturally reported on the issue. Eurogamer did the same, however it seems like they, too, have some insider information, Tom Phillips, who wrote the article, claims to also have knowledge of a Mother 3 localization via separate sources. The game is supposedly being released via Wii U Virtual Console to celebrate Mother 3’s 10th anniversary in Japan.
As always with rumors like these, take them with a grain of salt.
