A World of Keflings coming to Wii U later this year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A World of Keflings originally launched on Xbox Live Arcade and just came out for Windows 8 today. Later this year, the game will also be released on Wii U.
NinjaBee plans to upgrade Kefling’s visuals on Wii U. The GamePad will also provide “new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”
According to art director AccoridBrent Fox:
“With the current generation of consoles coming to an end, we saw opportunities to bring what is perhaps our studio’s most well-loved game to many, many more players. With that said, we’re proud to announce that in addition to today’s release on Windows 8, A World of Keflings will be coming to the Wii U later this year.”
“Both of these new platforms offered us huge advantages and were ideal marketplaces for a light-hearted city-builder. Windows 8 gave us the chance to make the game mobile and add in very smooth, natural touch controls. The Wii U has allowed us to significantly enhance the game’s visuals and, with the Wii U GamePad, explore new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”

Delver’s Drop is the latest Kickstarter game that could be Wii U/3DS-bound
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Pixelscopic could bring Delver’s Drop to the Wii U. The company just wrapped up a Kickstarter campaign and managed to raise nearly $150,000 – double the $75,000 goal.
Delver’s Drop takes inspiration from a ton of different games – Zelda: Link to the Past, Demon’s Souls, Diablo, and a whole lot more.
Nintendo fans will be interested to hear that, even though nothing has been confirmed, Pixelscopic has been in touch with the Big N about becoming an approved developer, and the studio does have interest in bringing its project to the Wii U / 3DS eShops.
According to Pixelscopic’s Ryan Baker:
“We’re fans of the Wii U and 3DS, but we have not decided on a console between the three big platform holders. We will most likely decide this based on how well it does after the PC/Mac/Linux release, and continued fan requests for console. Honestly, we’d love to support all of them, but that would likely be a 6+ month endeavour to add to our tech and support these systems. We had made a Kickstarter stretch goal for the console port, but it looks like that will not be met by the end of our campaign. But as with all other unmet stretch goals, we will consider developing them later if the game is successful and we have continued fan interest.”
Delver’s Drop is planned for release in 2014. Perhaps we’ll see a Nintendo version next year!
