Another Wii U eShop game has received a release date in Europe. 140 from Limbo lead designer Jeppe Carlsen is slated for September 8. It will carry a €7.99 price point.

We have the following overview:

“Created by Jeppe Carlsen (Lead puzzle designer, LIMBO) with Music by Jakob Schmid, 140 is a challenging minimalistic platformer with abstract colorful graphics. The game requires rhythmic awareness to overcome obstacles which are controlled by an energetic, yet melancholic electronic soundtrack!
Originally released for PC and Mac OS in 2013 after winning the Excellence in Audio award at the Independent Games Festival, 140 is now being adapted for consoles and handhelds by Abstraction Games in partnership with Double Fine Presents. It’s headed to PS4, PS Vita, Wii U, 3DS and Xbox One this summer!”

Costume Quest 2 will receive a patch for off-TV play

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Costume Quest 2 launched on Wii U last week, but it came without a feature most players were hoping would be included: off-TV play. On the bright side, a patch does appear to be in the works so that the functionality can be added in.

Double Fine’s Ben Burbank confirmed on Twitter last week:

@defmedia85 we're patching if in!

Costume Quest 2 hitting the European Wii U eShop this week

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

It wasn’t in today’s Nintendo Download report, but Nintendo has confirmed that Costume Quest 2 will be releasing on the European Wii U eShop this Thursday. The game should be available for €14.99.

It’s unclear if Costume Quest 2 is due out in North America this week as well. Launching in time for Halloween would certainly make sense!
