Wii U eShop

If you’re looking for a completely free game made just for Wii U, perhaps you’ll want to try out “Bluball”. This title was created exclusively for the console’s web browser in HTML5 – something we haven’t seen too often.

Players will find 15 stages and more than 50 stars to collect in Bluball. It uses the Wii U’s gyroscope for precise ball movement.

Creator Kenney Vleugels says admits that “The game doesn’t have audio and the framerate is quite low”, which “are problems of the Wii U’s browser”. Still, it’s not too bad of an effort!

“Calm Night of Snowfall” is yet another indie game that could make its way to the Wii U eShop with enough funding from fans. Developer Unnamed Stdio is looking to raise €50,000 in order to bring its first-person survival-horror title to the console.

Calm Night of Snowfall has you playing as a man who has lost his memory. You’ll run through the city as he attempts to rediscover his past. However, due to the extreme cold, the man will often need to head into buildings, where creatures wait in the shadows. Each time you play Calm Night of Snowfall, the experience is different. That’s because the city is randomly generated.

Unnamed Stdio is using the Spanish platform Idea Rapida as its crowdfunding source. You can donate and find more information about the project here.
