“Calm Night of Snowfall” is yet another indie game that could make its way to the Wii U eShop with enough funding from fans. Developer Unnamed Stdio is looking to raise €50,000 in order to bring its first-person survival-horror title to the console.
Calm Night of Snowfall has you playing as a man who has lost his memory. You’ll run through the city as he attempts to rediscover his past. However, due to the extreme cold, the man will often need to head into buildings, where creatures wait in the shadows. Each time you play Calm Night of Snowfall, the experience is different. That’s because the city is randomly generated.
Unnamed Stdio is using the Spanish platform Idea Rapida as its crowdfunding source. You can donate and find more information about the project here.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist “is a great fit for the Wii U”, Ubisoft has said.
Speaking with GamingBolt, creative director Maxime Beland explained that Sam Fisher’s OPSAT, used to control gadgets, is being recreated on the GamePad. This makes Blacklist’s Wii U version “a really natural platform” for the game.
“Splinter Cell Blacklist as a game is a great fit for the Wii U. What’s fun and interesting is that Sam Fisher has an OPSAT in the game that he uses in the same way players can use the Wii U gamepad when playing Splinter Cell Blacklist. Sam uses his OPSAT to control gadgets like the triorotor, which the player can also do using the gamepad. I’m proud of the fact that our Wii U implementation makes sense in the Splinter Cell universe, it feels like a really natural platform for Splinter Cell Blacklist.”
Beland continued:
“Ubisoft Toronto is looking at new technology and seeing in which ways their features make sense to use for our brands. As I mentioned earlier, using the Wii U gamepad for Splinter Cell Blacklist makes sense. It’s an extension for what Sam does in the game. It’s great feeling when new technology immerses the player into gameplay in a fun and realistic way.”

Robot Rescue should sound familiar. On DSiWare, Teyon created and released two titles in the puzzle series.
Robot Rescue 3D will include all levels from the first two games as well as “never before seen levels all transformed into 3D.” A total of 120 “perplexing and brain-bending” sections will be included, as well as various obstacles. Players will find up to 30 robots trapped in one level at a time.

Nintendo’s original opposition to include Super Smash Bros. Meele at Evo 2013 goes further than initially thought.
Joey “Mr Wizard” Cuellar, co-founder of the tournament, told OneMoreGameTV that the company had hoped to shut down the entire Smash Bros. section – despite speaking with people inside Nintendo who “didn’t see a problem” with the event. It was initially thought that Nintendo only rejected permission for the streaming portion of Evo’s proceedings.
