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.

1001 Spikes has been confirmed for release on June 3 for Wii U and 3DS, Nicalis has announced. Pricing is set at $14.99.

Those who have purchased the company’s previous games will be entitled to a $5 discount for the 3DS version. That means if you own VVVVVV, NightSky, Cave Story, Ikachan or Grinsia, then 1001 Spikes will only cost $9.99.

Nicalis did come across “a few issues” in 1001 Spikes, but decided to go ahead and release the title now rather than push it back further “because our fans want to play the game and we don’t plan to leave our Nintendo fans behind on a game they’ve been patiently waiting for.” Nicalis does intend to put out an update “within a couple of days of release to knock out those bugs.”

Bloomylight has informed us that Nintendo has accepted the studio as an official Wii U developer. At the moment, Bloomylight is working on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao, which we told you about last month.

Lynn and the Spirits of Inao will “probably” head to Wii U. A Kickstarter for the game will launch around September or so, and Wii U development will likely be a stretch goal.

Hey everyone, Austin here. Just wanted to let you know that Mario Kart 8 is available on the Wii U eShop despite the fact that it’s only midnight in the eastern time zone. I’m in central time and have just begun my download, as you can see above, so it can be assumed that this also applies to mountain and pacific time zones. Let us know if this isn’t the case!
