Jonathon Bont, creator of the Trashmania Trilogy, has announced plans to bring the series of games to Wii U.
Trashmania Trilogy will include three games: rashmania, Trashmania: Remix, Trashmania: After Dark. Their original versions are featured in the digital package along with “enhanced versions with updated graphics and GamePad functionality.”
Trashmania Trilogy is targeted for Q1 2015.

@JonGryphon I consider it "horror/arcade"; the other 2 games in "Trashmania Trilogy" are straight up arcade (originally A2600 homebrews).

@JonGryphon But of course, the Wii U version will be a heavily-updated version of the game (enhanced graphics, GamePad support, etc.)

@JonGryphon I'm shooting for Q1 2015 right now (with hopefully little time between US/Europe releases). Depends on many, many factors.

#WiiU Another note about Trashmania Trilogy: the original games will support Off-TV Play, but the GamePad-enhanced versions probably won't.

Capcom recently revealed Resident Evil HD for pretty much every major console. But unfortunately, Wii U was not included in the announcement.
Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi told Rely on Horror that Nintendo’s console is not the company’s focus when it comes to Resident Evil HD. Rather, the aforementioned platforms are – PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. A Wii U version wasn’t completely ruled out though, so there’s a small glimmer of hope.
Zen Pinball 2’s new update for Wii U has been delayed in North America. Several new tables were set to go live today including The Walking Dead and Deadpool. Instead, we’ll be seeing the update tomorrow.
Apologies but today's update for Zen Pinball 2 on Wii U has been delayed in North America. We hope to release it tomorrow!
