Ynnis Interactive’s neat-looking RPG “Shiness” has a strong chance of making its way to Wii U.
According to a comment left on the game’s Kickstarter, the folks at Ynnis “really want” to bring the game to the eShop. Currently, the company seems to be waiting on confirmation from Nintendo.
Ynnis said:
We have a lot of demands about WII-U and i can assure you we really want to do it! We just need nintendo confirmation first.
You can find more information about Shiness on the Kickstarter page here.
We have a small update on the Wii U version of Tengami. Developer Nyamyam told one fan on Twitter that the studio expects to submit its game to Nintendo’s lot check early next month.
Nyamyam said:
@curbles Quite good. Think we will submit to Nintendo for Lotcheck early June.

A Pokemon Center in Paris will temporarily open next month – between June 4th and June 21st. Those who visit the location will have an opportunity to download a unique Pokemon.
For the first time, the special Poke Ball-patterned Vivillon will be distributed. It comes in at level 12 and features the Stun Spore, Gust, Light Screen and Struggle Bug moves.
It’s unclear if the event will be available outside of France at this time.
The “GBA4iOS” app for iPhone allowed users to play Game Boy and Boy Boy Advance titles on their devices with little trouble. In fact, absolutely no jailbreaking was involved to get the thing working.
The emulator was available for several months, but has finally been taken down following a DMCA notice sent out by Nintendo.
On Twitter, the app’s creator wrote:
Well it's official, @NintendoAmerica has sent a DMCA Notice requesting http://t.co/2egsx0sRNS to be shut down.

OMOCAT has announced a 3DS stretch goal for its Kickstarter project “OMORI”. A portable version for Nintendo’s handheld is set at $180,000. With 22 days remaining, the campaign has raised a little over $68,000 thus far.
Here’s a brief overview of OMORI:
OMORI is a surreal psychological horror RPGmaker game. You must travel between two worlds, both welcoming, both concealing the same secrets. Meet new (old) people, fight new (old) enemies, explore your own memories, and uncover some hidden truths along the way (although you wish you hadn’t.) When the time comes, you can only choose one.
You can find OMORI’s Kickstarter page here.
