Wii U eShop

Last month, Mobot Studios opened a Kickstarter for “Knite & The Ghost Lights” – a new side-scrolling adventure game. It promises “a mixture of adventure, storytelling, and action from games we know and love like Metroid and Castlevania, but with a completely fresh feel for today’s gamer.”

Mobot Studios added in support for a Wii U version of a couple of weeks ago, but the news kind of went under the radar. If Knite & The Ghost Lights is funded, you can expect to see it on the console “close” to the game’s launch.

Now here’s the thing: Knite & The Ghost Lights only has about six days left to reach its Kickstarter goal. A little over $18,000 has been raised out of the required $35,000 total.

An official Kickstarter for Ping 2: Attack of the Spheres is now open. You can check it out for yourself here.

Last month, creator Christopher Arnold announced his intentions to launch a Kickstarter for Ping 2. The pong-like game can now become a reality – and release on Wii U – if funds reach $20,000.

A number of ideas are already in mind for Ping 2 on Wii U. The plan is support five-player FPS local multiplayer, the ability to swap with another user (like taking turns in Super Mario Bros.), gyroscope aiming in FPS mode, off-TV play, and asynchronous gameplay for when playing on TV mode.


RUSH is Two Tribes’ second classic game bound for Wii U. Toki Tori is the first, and should be out later this month. As far as RUSH goes, Two Tribes said on Twitter earlier that the game is “almost done.” The studio hopes to submit RUSH to Nintendo towards the end of next week.
