has Batman: Arkham Origins on sale for Wii U. The game is available for $14.99 at present.
Technically, this isn’t a massive deal as Origins seems to have dropped to a universal price point of $20. But that’s definitely one of the lower prices we’ve seen, let alone posted about here!

Curve Studios is wrapping up work on the Wii U exclusive title Stealth Inc 2. The game is said to be “in the final straits now”, according to the company’s Jonathan Biddle.
Biddle tweeted a status update for Stealth Inc 2 earlier today while also revealing that the game is about twice as big as the original.
He said:
Stealth Inc 2 has turned out huge. 182 rooms, over 500 screens in size. It's about 2 Stealth Inc 1s, which sounds somehow like it should be.

Phew! Stealth Inc 2 in the final straits now. All content and features done, just messy and buggy. Submission mere weeks away.

We've made this monster in only nine months too. Probably only possible because we made it all in GameMaker first to solidify the design.

Tetrobot and Co. is a puzzle title that landed on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android late last year. It’s unclear if the Wii U version will bring anything new to the table.
