Wii U eShop

A new patch is going out for Stone Shire. Finger Gun Games is updating the Wii U eShop release to version 1.2.1.

The full patch notes are as follows:

Fixed a bug where players were falling through the world when they attempted to set down a block in the same space that they were standing.
Fixed a bug where the music was warping and glitching out.
Fixed a big where the torch sound effect was always playing on the TV no matter the mode it was in.

The Stone Shire update should be live in Europe today, and North America this week or next week.

The BBC iPlayer was already taken down from the UK Wii U eShop back in August. Today, the service is officially ending for those who previously downloaded the app. The move comes as the license agreement between BBC and Nintendo ends.

Though there are a lot of indie developers that are cancelling their project plans on Wii U, Graphite Lab’s Hive Jump is still slated to come to that Nintendo system a bit later this year.

The Steam version for PC, Mac and Linux will launch on January 18th, and we’ve received a new trailer to celebrate the occasion. But as Hive Jump will eventually appear on Wii U, this launch trailer delivers a good look at its gameplay and works to get us hyped.
