Collateral Thinking was originally supposed to end up on the North American Wii U eShop this week. That didn’t happen though, with developer Astrosaurus Games telling us that a “few paperwork hiccups” prompted a short delay.

Collateral Thinking will now be released in North America next Thursday. It’s the same day as the PAL launch, so all territories will be receiving it at the same time.

If you want to give Collateral Thinking a try ahead of time, head on over here for a PC demo.

The Wii U exclusive Collateral Thinking, an “arcade-style action platformer”, has just received it’s first gameplay trailer. You can view the trailer for yourself below.

Astrosaurus Games is readying Collateral Thinking “an arcade-style action platformer for Wii U that’s all about beating up alien ghosts, recovering blueprints, and rescuing billionaires on a tight schedule (and budget).”

The indie developer passed along the following overview:

“Collateral Thinking is an arcade-style action platformer for Wii U that’s all about beating up alien ghosts, recovering blueprints, and rescuing billionaires on a tight schedule (and budget). Each level is a self-contained screen that gives you one of three specific tasks to complete in 30 short seconds – to “Avoid” all the hazards, to “Bust” all the enemies, or to “Collect” all the blueprints. These quickfire challenges force you to quickly survey your surroundings and then jump into action in order to progress through the 100+ floors and net as much cash as possible along the way. The game is meant to blend the core floor-climbing, obstacle negotiation of Donkey Kong with the original Mario Bros.’ single-screen enemy hunting, and then crank up the speed, intensity, and absurdity while adding elements of Wario Ware’s unpredictability and impulsivity to the mix.”

Astrosaurus Games says Collateral Thinking will be out within “the next week or two” in North America. Europe and Australia will have it on August 18. When it’s available, the game will cost $2.99.
