Terra Incognita has a shot of landing on Wii U. The game’s developer has confirmed that a version will be made for Nintendo’s console if its Kickstarter campaign reaches £3500.

The total currently stands at just over £2600. That means another £900 is needed within the next 15 hours for a Wii U version of Terra Incognita to happen.

Video: Toki Tori’s Harlem Shake

I’m conflicted. I love me some Toki Tori, but I can’t stand the Harlem Shake. I feel like that meme ran its course weeks ago!

‘The Adventures of Dash’ is yet another kickstarter game that might come to Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

When Nintendo said they were trying to be indie friendly (or rather, indie developers said Nintendo was trying to be indie friendly), I was honestly pretty skeptical given the Big N’s past with digital download shops, but today yet another game developer has said they’ll likely bring their next game to the Wii U if they reach their Kickstarter goal.

“We are already licensed Nintendo developers and have Wii U dev kits that we’ll be using to get it up and running on Wii U. If we get funded we will try to bring it to as many platforms as possible with the funds we get and will use the profits from the game to bring it to consoles we couldn’t afford prior. Long story short, yes, we hope to bring it to the Wii U as quickly as possible.”

– Robotoki statement

Robotoki’s game The Adventures of Dash is a really artistically interesting sidescrolling puzzle game that’s coming to PC in the future, and I would be completely okay with seeing it hit Wii U as well! I absolutely love how many developers we’re seeing say “Yea, we’ll definitely try and bring our game to Wii U”, and I can’t help but feel a teeny tiny bit of extra joy that they’re only mentioning Wii U as of now– no other systems. Nintendo might finally be doing download shops correctly!

Another Castle creator mulling over “tiny, quirky project” for Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

David Byers, the sole creator of Another Castle, is currently hard at work on completing the platformer. But what lies ahead for the future?

While he can’t officially confirm anything at present, Byers is thinking about “making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U.” It wouldn’t be a platformer like Another Castle, and it would “look completely different”.

“I’m considering making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U. Mainly just for fun. I don’t have any specific plans yet, all I know is it won’t be a platformer, and it will look completely different from Another Castle.”

Two Tribes plans to be very involved with Miiverse

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Developers have started to interact more with fans than ever before. There are outlets such as Twitter that allow for direct communication – something that wasn’t around in previous years.

Miiverse is another way for developers to stay in touch with consumers, and Two Tribes has plans to take advantage of the service.

When asked for Two Tribes’ thoughts on Miiverse, founder Collin van Ginkel praised the feature and noted that the studio plans “to be very active in the Toki Tori 2 community”.

“I think it’s the best gift I’ve received in years. It allows us to directly talk to our players through a home console, which has not ever been possible before. We expect to be very active in the Toki Tori 2 community when it launches.”

Thanks to Jürgen Chytry for the tip.

The sequel to the acclaimed adventure game The Longest Journey might end up on platforms beyond just PC and Mobile devices, according to the game’s developer Red Thread Games. While Dreamfall Chapters will undoubtedly come out on PC and Mac first, “going forward”, Red Thread listed off Wii U, PS4, “Durango”, and even Ouya as possible platforms for appearances, assuming the game can reach at least a $1.75m fundraising goal.
