Project Phoenix, a new indie RPG created by “AAA” talent, won’t be coming to any Nintendo platform. A notice posted on the official Kickstarter page states the following regarding a potential release on Wii U, Wii, and 3DS:
“Currently we do not have any plans to release it on those consoles.”
PC is the only confirmed platform for Project Phoenix at this time. PlayStation 4 and PS Vita versions are likely as well.
Angry Birds Trilogy is available now on Wii U for $49.99 and Wii for $39.99.
Wii U has not been on parity with other platforms when it comes to Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC. For unknown reasons, the system has been receiving new content later than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Some of the more recent DLC has also yet to land on Wii U.
It does, at least, look like the situation will be discussed in the near future. NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon said the following on Twitter a short while ago regarding Wii U DLC:
RT @WaltersBrad @noobde Can u guys even talk about the situation with Wii U not getting any dlc lately? EB: Yes. An update is coming soon.

Teku Studios has confirmed that Candle will be coming to Wii U. The team has managed to become an official developer for the console, and dev kits will be received “anytime soon”.
Wii U will remain on the Kickstarter campaign as a stretch goal. If hit, Candle will be guaranteed to hit the console on launch not. Otherwise, Teku said, “we can’t promise this one to be a launch day version, unfortunately. It may take us some additional weeks.”
