Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Fuzzy Wuzzy Games posted an update about Armillo on Twitter just a few moments ago.
Off-TV play and second screen display are both supported, so players will have two options at their disposal. Touch screen support isn’t included with the current build, but the team is looking to see if such functionality will be beneficial.
Fuzzy Wuzzy Games Twitter messages are as follows:

Doesn't have touch screen support yet. We'll have to see if we can use it in a way that adds to the game.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Ripstone Games has announced two titles for Wii U thus far: Knytt Underground and Pure Chess. The company also recently said that further support is planned.
Ripstone isn’t ready to reveal any new games just yet, but we were told that six games are planned for the Wii U in total.
Regarding future support for the eShop, creative director Phil Gaskell said the following in an interview that will be published on the site in just a couple of days:
“Yes we’ll be continuing to support Nintendo and the eShop. We’ve announced that the visually stunning Pure Chess is making its way over to both Wii U and 3DS, both of which look awesome and feature a great cross-platform multiplayer feature. We’re also working on a number of other games with developers that will appear on eShop but we’re not quite ready to show them off yet. Right now if we include the titles we’ve announced we have plans to bring 6 games to Wii U.”

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams lacks audio with off-TV play?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams may not support proper off-TV play on Wii U.
The game, which just launched in Europe today, does allow players to go through the experience on the GamePad. It seems as though audio is missing, however. Visuals appear on the GamePad screen, but sound does not emit from the controller.
So I thought I'd play some #GianaSisters on #WiiU in my break, but there's no gamepad audio so no off TV play, just pointless mirroring!

Another odd tidbit about Giana Sisters – on the Xbox 360, it’s a 1.6GB download. On Wii U though, Twisted Dreams takes up 4GB of storage.
