Wii U eShop

Harvest Moon 64 is set to arrive on the Wii U Virtual Console this week in both North American and Europe. We’ve posted the official trailer below.

Placards, which we originally heard about over two years ago, has finally been dated for the Wii U eShop. At least in North America, it’s set to arrive on February 23 – this Thursday.

Here’s an overview of the game:

“GAME DETAILS
Placards is a unique single-player puzzle experience that requires players to think both visually and strategically. Rearrange pixels on the screen by rotating or swapping to solve Placard puzzles. That Placard too big to solve in one go? Solve a piece at a time to get closer to that final Placard picture. From simple shapes to space ships to a fire breathing dragon, there are over 100 puzzles to keep you occupied for hours. So grab that cup of coffee, sit down on that comfy couch, and solve a few Placards today.

Single player play.
Rotate and swap pixels to solve Placard puzzles.
Zoom to compare your Placard puzzle against the final picture.
Progress saved automatically as you play (exit a Placard puzzle and come back later).
Try to solve each Placard puzzle in as few moves as possible.
176 Placard puzzles at launch (across 4 books or themes).
Includes several large, multi-piece puzzles.
Color Blind Mode (optimizes puzzle colors for colorblindness).
Relax Mode (turns on ambient background sound).”

Placards will cost $1.99.

Harvest Moon 64 isn’t just heading to the European Wii U Virtual Console this week. North America will be getting the classic game, too. Natsume confirmed this in a post on its official forums.

Harvest Moon 64 will be available on the eShop beginning on February 23. Pricing is set at $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 / CHF 14.00.

Footage of forma.8 is in, specifically showing the Wii U version in action. Check it out below.

Soul Saga

Back in 2013, developer Disastercake started a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new 3D JRPG-inspired videogame called Soul Saga. It quickly reached the goal to have the game ported to Wii U, but we didn’t hear of it again until now.

Disastercake posted a comment on the Kickstarter page announcing that Soul Saga is still coming to Wii U and that they currently have no plans on porting the game to Switch.

“A lot of fans are asking me to port Soul Saga to the Switch. I’m still planning to port Soul Saga to WiiU (after PC version is complete), but unfortunately I don’t have any further information on the Switch right now. If anything evolves on either of those fronts I’ll be sure to make an update covering it. =)”

Unlike other cases, Soul Saga won’t change platforms and will still arrive on the Wii U eShop in the future, regardless of the short lifespan remaining in the Nintendo platform.
