Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams’ patch has been submitted for approval, Black Forest Games has confirmed.
As noted by the studio on Twitter earlier today:
WiiU soundpatch news: We took another step with NOE and NOA! Now the approval is in the hands of Big N in Japan. Keep the fingers crossed!

At present, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams does not emit sound when playing on the GamePad. The game’s upcoming patch should address this.
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams sells over 1 million copies
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Runner2 isn’t the only Wii U eShop title confirmed to have sold one million copies this week. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams has reached the same target, Black Forest Games has announced.
Black Forest Games’s managing director Andreas Speer said of the milestone:
“One million copies sold absolutely qualifies Giana Sisters as an indie hit – and yet it took a Kickstarter campaign to be able to develop the game. It wouldn’t have been possible in the classic way through publisher financing. It is only thanks to the dedication of our 6,000 backers that one million gamers (and counting) got the chance to play.”

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Halloween level DLC not coming to consoles
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Black Forest Games is about to launch a new Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Halloween level in the form of DLC. However, a release isn’t planned on consoles – Wii U eShop, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade – due to the “extensive submission process” that would have been required.
Black Forest Games does plan to make up the DLC absence for console players. In its announcement today, the studio teased “several things” that are coming to consoles next year.
“That’s our way to celebrate Halloween with all the Giana Sisters fans out there. Knowing that the question will be raised: Since there is an extensive submission process required for consoles, we are currently not working on bringing the DLC to PSN, XBLA or WiiU. For all those playing Giana on console: there are several things planned for 2014.”
