Costume Quest 2 will receive a patch for off-TV play

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Costume Quest 2 launched on Wii U last week, but it came without a feature most players were hoping would be included: off-TV play. On the bright side, a patch does appear to be in the works so that the functionality can be added in.

Double Fine’s Ben Burbank confirmed on Twitter last week:

@defmedia85 we're patching if in!

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

We first found out about Get Off My Lawn! this past summer. Digital Leisure has now shared concrete details about the game, and we have a trailer as well.

Get Off My Lawn! is a free-to-play arcade shooter. Players take on the role of 78-year-old Murray Mendelson, who must keep endless waves of aliens off his lawn by taking them down with his musket. As you defeat more aliens, the tougher they become.

Players will be able to collect orbs, which can be used to upgrade weaponry. Power-ups include “Cane Time”, “Infuriate”, and “Soundwave”.

Get Off My Lawn! will be released on various platforms on November 11. However, the Wii U version will arrive later this winter.

Ansimuz Games bringing Elliot Quest to Wii U early next year

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Ansimuz Games has almost finished work on its Zelda II-inspired Elliot Quest, a new indie adventure RPG with five dungeons, 16 bosses, and plenty of treasure. Players will explore the Urele island in search of an ancient demon.

Here’s an official story overview:

After Elliot’s wife disappears, he falls sick and attempts to take his own life-only to discovers that he can’t die. Plagued by nightmares and growing weaker by the day, Elliot seeks out a local Sage, who tells him that he’s the victim of a rare curse. A demon called a Satar is slowly consuming Elliot’s vitality. If Elliot can’t find a cure to the curse before it’s too late, he will become a Satar. His only hope is to ask for the help of one of the island’s Guardians, who have kept the Satar from taking over Urele. Elliot can’t die—but he’s still running out of time.

Elliot Quest offers character customization through a leveling up system, a variety of magic attacks, chain attacks to make enemies drop more items, a trio of unique endings based on your decisions, and more.

Elliot Quest will be released for Wii U via the eShop in early 2015. You’ll find a trailer above. An early alpha demo for browsers is located here.
