The Wii U version of Cosmochoria is in serious trouble. In a Kickstarter update, creator Nate Schmold explained that he has experienced issues getting the game to run through Construct 2 on the Nintendo Web Framework.

Ultimately, Cosmochoria has been put on hold for Wii U, though it hasn’t been cancelled entirely. “The goal is to focus all my efforts on making Cosmochoria as extraordinarily dope as I can for the full launch and work towards using a successful launch as a platform to form relationships with either an outside publisher or development team in order to make a Wii U port a possibility,” Schmold wrote.

Those who backed Cosmochoria specifically for the Wii U version are being given an opportunity to request a refund. Pledges can also be transferred to the PC version.

Most of you don’t listen to our podcast, but if you did, you would know that we’ll be restarting the podcast-tied “Book Club” again all about the video game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. If you’ve never heard of or participated in a book club, it’s pretty much what it sounds like: We all play a game at sort of the same pace, and every week we discuss in detail that week’s goings on in the game on “Here’s a Podcast”.

You can share your thoughts on the second part of the game using the Google Form below, or feel free to post a comment. Remember, we aren’t looking for general thoughts on the game– we want thoughts about this particular section of the game! Play along with us, or go based on memory, but we like depth because we love games. Hooray!

We’ll select a few of your guys’ thoughts to read on the podcast and help spur further discussion, so leave a name and location if you like.

For this week: From getting the Master Sword, through the second Dark World temple. I think it’s the water place.
