Wii U is the only console that will be missing out on Capcom’s new Strider project. The game is in production for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. And there’s a PC version in the works, of course.

Capcom’s decision to skip Wii U was peculiar, especially given how the company has been supporting the eShop with two soon-to-be-released titles: DuckTales Remastered and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara.

Capcom’s Andrew Szymanski didn’t provide any specific reasons when asked why Strider won’t be available on Wii U, but he did say:

“I don’t necessarily make all of the platform decisions. We try to match the right platform to the right title. Sometimes that’s purely a strategy decision. Sometimes it has to do with technology. Sometimes it has to do with the expertise of any given developer. For this game, we started out on PS3, 360, and PC. As we got more information and actual hardware from next-gen, we saw we would be able to leverage those. Given our release timing is soon after launch we decided that would be a good way to bring it to even more people and add in more bells and whistles.”

While Strider wasn’t initially announced for Wii U, there’s a small chance that the title could land on Nintendo’s console. Following the announcement at Comic-Con, developer Double Helix said Wii U can be considered with enough fan demand.

Nowhere Studios’ new puzzle platformer Monochroma is planned for the Wii U as well as the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS Vita, and PC.

Although Nowhere is seeking funding through Kickstarter, the Wii U version appears to be set – the console isn’t a stretch goals, in other words. Though if the initial target of $80,000 isn’t met, the game’s development may be in jeopardy.

If Monochroma does happen, expect to see it on Wii U next May.

You can find more information about Monochroma on the official Kickstarter page here.

Thanks to Matthew for the tip.

Cupra Studios is now an official Nintendo developer. Presumably, this should mean that the company can make games for both the Wii U and 3DS.

Cupra’s Oscar Yanez said the following of the news:

“This is a breakthrough in the development of our company because it allows increasing our range of possibilities to create video games based on both own and third-party licenses.”

The name “TNT Racers” may sound familiar – that’s because the game was released on WiiWare last year. A souped-up version is now heading to the Wii U eShop, and it should be out in Europe in the very near future.

Keen Games has confirmed to us that TNT Racers’ Wii U version will be called “Nitro Machines Edition” and includes a few exclusive elements. It features new cars, tracks, and pickups, along with a touch-input interface and off-TV play.

TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition is planned for release on the European eShop on August 8 (or maybe a week later). A North American date hasn’t been confirmed due to a few difficulties in the submission process, but there is a possibility of an August launch in the states as well. We’ll hopefully have some media to share with you soon.
