Black Forest Games says that its implementation of off-TV play in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, in which sound is not emitted from the GamePad, is not a bug. The studio is working on a patch, however.
Responding to a fan on Facebook, Black Forest acknowledged the issue. It’s a “problem” that the studio intends to fix “as soon as possible”.
Black Forest’s message in full states:
The missing sound is not a bug, it is a known behavior which does not violate the technical guidelines of the WiiU.
We love all our fans and are working on getting a patch for the sound problem. Nintendo does not demand that the sound is there on release and by such we released it to keep our release deadline. We agreed that we wanted to keep our deadline and then work towards fixing the sound as soon as possible, atm we have a lot of things going on in the company but the WiiU sound is in the works and hopefully we will have a patch to fix it within a reasonable timeframe, it is our first release on a consol like the WiiU so the work is a bit different than what we are used to. All in all we are working on the problem and ask for your patience while we get used to the console market/patching as well as fixing this issue.
Nintendo has opened the official teaser site for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Access it here.
Currently, visitors can watch a quick trailer for the game’s limited edition. Expect more content when the full site launches.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist has already been patched on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with PC updates coming in the future. Thankfully, Ubisoft isn’t leaving Wii U out of the picture.
On Twitter, the official Splinter Cell account tweeted that Wii U is also being looked at for patches. It reads:
For the record, we are also looking at the Wii U version.
