Wii U eShop

When Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara will be launching on the Wii U eShop has been a mystery. Although Capcom has been able to confirm dates for other platforms, the publisher hasn’t had much luck getting a concrete answer from Nintendo.

A listing on the Big N’s own website suggests that Chronicles of Mystara is coming out tomorrow. Whether it can be trusted remains to be seen, but I guess we’ll know if it’s valid in a few hours.



Maestro Interactive Games is bringing a new game to the Wii U eShop known as “Percy’s Predicaments”.

Percy’s Predicaments offers platforming gameplay with some puzzle elements mixed in. You’ll be playing as Percy Penguin, a penguin who has a tendency to get himself into trouble. His nature causes him to come across a magical orb, of which be becomes captured inside. Players will need to collect golden fish in various levels before the time runs out to assist Percy.

Wii U owners can expect 250 levels scattered across multiple words: The Snow Caps, an ice world; The Grass Lands, a rain infested world; The Desert, a world with frequent sand storms; The Mushroom Land, a world filled with mushroom houses and magical properties; The Kingdom, a world full of castles that Percy will navigate; and The Digital World, a tron-esque environment.

Percy’s Penguin will be fully playable off-TV. Maestro will prepare new content for the game over a 12-month period (at least), and new levels will be available for free for a limited time each month. The studio also intends to further polish previously released levels.

No release date has been set for Percy’s Predicaments. When it launches, you’ll be able to grab it for $5.99.

On Kickstarter, the developer behind A Hat in Time provided an update on the status of a possible Wii U version.

Gears for Breakfast reconfirmed that it has been in contact with a number of companies that could bring A Hat in Time to the Wii U eShop. Nintendo of America has also shown interest in the project thanks to the “massive support” from fans.

A number of hurdles must be overcome in order to make a Wii U version happen. First, Gears for Breakfast needs an Unreal Engine licence, which apparently can go for $500,000 or more. Wii U dev kits will also be needed. By working with a publisher, the team may be able to receive access to their dev kits and licences for a share of the game’s revenue.



A third wave of Pokemon Rumble U figures will soon be making its way to Japan. On June 21, players will be able to pick up Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai, and Shaymin. Also, we’re hearing that the secret figure is Red Genesect.
