As Refenes stated, Super Meat Boy will be on Wii U “very soon.” He expects that it will be launching on the eShop “in a couple of months”.
Here’s Refenes’s full Twitter post:

It’s kind of amazing what a year can do. At this time last year, I was seriously concerned about Nintendo Everything’s future. I wasn’t sure if the site would continue, and for how long. That was really just the result of the society we live in. I love working on the site each day (well, aside from never sleeping!), but because of our poor financial situation, it would have been impossible to continue at our current pace.
That’s why we ended up trying Patreon last year. It did definitely help NE out a bit, and I can’t stress enough that I’m extremely thankful to those who contributed. But now I’m very happy to say that we no longer need any donations. Some elements came together extremely quickly this week where I now feel much better regarding the site’s financial state. I have no idea what will happen down the road, but for now, things are looking great.
We do have one last order of business! Our final giveaway winner is Jacob Turkowitch. We’ll be in touch shortly to arrange the sending of your prize.
Once again, thank you for the support during this past year!
Olympia Rising is coming to Nintendo’s console courtesy of Elliot Quest Wii U developer PlayEveryWare, the studio’s Thomas O’Connor has revealed to Nintendo Everything. The company partnered with creator Paleozoic Games to port and publish on the eShop. It should be available “in all regions” sometime in April.
Originally released last year, Olympia Rising is a 2D action-platformer featuring the young warrior Iola. After meeting an untimely end, she’s found herself in the Underworld. Iola can use a jumping and attack mechanic to take down enemies and help climb the Underworld with great maneuverability.
Here’s a trailer for Olympic Rising:
PlayEveryWare has also told Nintendo Everything that the match-3 puzzle title Jewel Quest is coming to Wii U. While PlayEveryWare worked on the port, iWin will be publishing. O’Connor anticipates that a release date will be shared “very soon.”
