Mighty Rabbit Studios has confirmed plans to bring Saturday Morning RPG to the Wii U. The episodic role-playing game is already available on several platforms like iOS devices, though the eShop version should offer a few unique elements.

Mighty Rabbit Studios told Nintendo Force this month that the title will include a number of Wii U-exclusive battle objects that “play entirely to the GamePad’s strengths.” The developer is tinkering around with one idea – an homage to Presto Magix – in which players “have to use the GamePad screen to rub an attack into existence.” Off-TV play is also supported.

Saturday Morning RPG should be hitting Wii U in Q4 2014. At launch, players can get their hands on the first five full episodes from the iPhone version. A sixth episode will be made available for free through a future update.

I hate it when people label things incorrectly. It makes me very sad and upset. I can’t tell you how much compound irritation I’ve had to repress when, say, someone would write the wrong name down on an online order at work and offer me the duty of rectifying the situation over the phone with Mrs. Jihnson and her missing mail-order appliance, or when a past roommate not-to-be-named would intentionally label the cat food ‘dog food’ just to try to make me sick the next day.

This is why I possess such a vitriol for relatively new Welsh developer Dakko Dakko and their latest attempt at capturing the burgeoning Wii U indie scene (think Mutant Mudds, Cloudberry Kingdom, and all of the other titles I’ve referenced way too much in writing and on the podcast), Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails, a 2D shooter with strong open-world platforming elements. The ‘On Rails’ signifier at the end there implies imprison-y, limited bounds and pointed, one-dimensional gameplay design, whereas Scram Kitty, in its comparative sense of freedom to the recent litany of top-notch platformers we’ve seen reach the eShop, feels anything but. Scram Kitty, though confusing in name, scratches an itch not satiated fully by its contemporaries on the platform. By not being as singularly masterful in its level design elements as, say, VVVVVV or Mighty Switch Force!, Scram Kitty feels a little less uptight and neo-retro, yet crucially still achieves the same level of “old-school hardcore” as those luminaries do. I will not use any cat puns in this review.

A quick heads up about the recently-released Wii U eShop title Gravity Badgers. The game takes up 344.8MB of space, which seems quite manageable. You shouldn’t need to reserve much space fortunately!

Unity has been running on Wii U for some time now, but the tech behind it doesn’t sound entirely up to snuff. The developer behind Nihilumbra, for example, has been encountering “some technical issues” in bringing the game over to Nintendo’s console. This has resulted in a longer-than-expected wait for the eShop release.

BeautiFun Games told DQTechNews:

“The game should be available on the market already, but we are having some technical issues with Unity port for Wii U that are delaying the release.”

After a fairly long wait, How to Survive is finally making its way to Wii U. The European eShop has the game listed for a June 5 launch – that’d be next week. These listings aren’t always 100% accurate, though they’re spot on more often than not.

Thanks to MATT81DE for the tip.
