One of the more prominent criticisms surrounding The Letter concerns the game’s length. For many, the entire experience can be completed in a half hour or less.
The Letter’s length is something that developer TreeFall Studios addressed in a recent Miiverse post. Creator Eli Brewer believes that despite its short nature, “The Letter is a finished game”. Future updates, Brewer said, “will greatly enhance/change the experience of the game, yet they are all additional content coming after the initial game, not updates to finish the game.”
Here’s the Miiverse post in full:
Dahku Creations announced Soon Shine for the Wii U eShop earlier this month with plans to launch in mid-August. Now, thanks to a listing on Nintendo’s website, the title has been confirmed for release on August 14. You’ll be able to pick up Soon Shine for $1.99 at launch.

Dark Roast Entertainment recently revealed its debut title, “Lucadian Chronicles”. The game will be coming to the Wii U eShop sometime in the future.
Here’s an overview straight from Dark Roast:
Lucadian Chronicles is a strategy game where you form teams of 5 heroes in different configurations and pit them against other teams. Rather than going into details… have you ever played Magic the Gathering, or Pokemon? If so, have you ever spent some time sitting on your carpet creating your deck as you simulate in your head how the deck is gonna work? Well, Lucadian Chronicles is a game about that moment; thinking and imagining how it’s gonna work.
Lucadian Chronicles will make use of the Wii U’s various features, including Miiverse support, GamePad functionality, and more.
Capcom shared a small but significant tidbit about Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s multiplayer over on its official blog. Multiplayer will work between the North American and European versions, the company confirmed. This applies both online and locally.
This week’s Famitsu’s most wanted games chart is in. Persona 5, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Final Fantasy XV, Hyrule Warriors, and Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire are all in the top five.
Here’s the full lineup, as chosen by Famitsu readers:
Jett Tailfin will be available on the North American Wii U eShop starting August 7, Nintendo’s website confirms.
We had previously heard that Jett Tailfin was on track to launch this month. However, it wasn’t said if the game would launch as both a retail product and digital download or only as an eShop release.
In any case, Jett Tailfin is due out in one form or another in a matter of weeks. Screenshots from the game can be found above.
Yes, you read that title correctly! Collectorvision is planning its new game “Justice Beaver” for the Wii U eShop and, surprisingly, the SNES.
The developer shared the news on Facebook yesterday:
Justice Beaver isn’t the only retro-related project coming from Collectorvision. Sydney Hunter and the Mayan’s Revenge are both in the works for the NES and will be available this year.
