Wii U eShop

Sarepta Studio’s title “Shadow Puppeteer” has been confirmed for the Wii U eShop. Earlier today, the indie developer confirmed its Wii U developer status on an official blog.

Shadow Puppeteer features co-op, puzzle, and adventure gameplay. It stars a boy and his shadow who must chase after the Shadow Puppeteer in hopes of finding a way to save shadows that have been stolen by him. For a chance at success, they’ll need to work together by manipulating light and darkness.

When Adventures of Pip’s Kickstarter launched earlier this week, TicToc Games said the studio was aiming for Wii U support. Now that’s been made official.

Nintendo spoke with TicToc last night “to say everything is good to go and we can blast Wii U Support this morning.” If Adventures of Pip reaches its funding goal, we’ll be seeing it on the eShop.
