Having previously made Collateral Thinking for Wii U, Astrosaurus Games is now setting its sights on another eShop project. Developer Neil Armstrong told 4colorrebellion that a title involving puzzles known as “Ruff Copy” is in the works. In it, “you play as a disgruntled worker at a dog-cloning factory that is trying to help all of the dogs escape their test chamber prisons with nothing but a laser pointer.”

Armstrong is also considering Mage Boy and Dash Assault for Wii U. The former was created at GBJam and would be adapted for Nintendo’s console while the latter is a party platformer.

Toby: The Secret Mine releasing on Wii U in early 2017

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments

Headup Games has announced plans to bring Toby: The Secret Mine to Wii U, a puzzle-platformer inspired by Limbo and Badland. Players can expect various puzzles, dangerous and challenging traps and enemies, and “beautifully handcrafted environments.

Here’s a rundown of the game’s premise:

“A peaceful way of life in a small village in the mountains was thrown into disorder. Someone has kidnapped most of it’s residents. A couple of brave hearts tried to rescue their friends but none of them has returned. Little Toby didn’t want to just sit and wait so he decided to find them by himself. He went to the near deep forest but he soon realized this is just a beginning of a big adventure.
Go with Toby on an eerie adventure in a dark and creepy world full of dangerous situations, enemies and challenging puzzles.”

Toby: The Secret Mine will be on the eShop early next year, “some weeks before Nintendo Switch will launch.” We’ve posted a trailer from the original release below.

Pic-a-Pix Color, a new Picross-type game, will come to Wii U and 3DS next year

Posted on 8 years ago by Fernando in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

There’s a new puzzle-type game coming for Wii U and 3DS and its name is Pic-a-Pix Color. Lightwood Games has revealed the concept behind this Picross-like game, which is to simply add colors as a clue to solve the puzzle and reveal the figure. Spaces now don’t have the same meaning, as a different color could be adjacent to the one we’re filling without a blank square in between.

You can try this new pixel art game in the Lightwood Games ‘interactive Holiday card’ website, but Pic-a-Pix Color, which is planned for the Wii U and 3DS eShop, won’t come out until sometime in 2017.
