Freedom Planet cut-scene causing freezing issues for some players
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Following Freedom Planet’s final delay, GalaxyTrail said that a new date wouldn’t be announced until all bugs and issues were ironed out. The game did finally make its way to the North American Wii U eShop on Thursday, but some players are unfortunately encountering a notable problem. During a particular cut-scene, a bug pops up that can cause the Wii U to freeze.
GalaxyTrail said on Miiverse a few days ago that they’re aware of a problem. There’s no timetable for it yet, but a patch is already planned. GalaxyTrail also shared some temporary solutions.
Here’s the full Miiverse post:

Freedom Planet suffered a number of delays, but finally came out in North America this week. Sadly though, it’s still not ready in Europe. So when can we expect it?
GalaxyTrail developer Stephen DiDuro said on Twitter recently that Freedom Planet won’t be ready to hit the European Wii U eShop until November. His message is as follows:
For EU, we're trying hard to release it as early as possible, but apparently it won't be ready until November? We'll try and speed it along.

Update: Removed – Freedom Planet unexpectedly available for purchase on the North American Wii U eShop
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 20 Comments
Update: Freedom Planet has now been taken down from the eShop. Nintendo took care of things rather quickly!
Freedom Planet can currently be purchased on the North American Wii U eShop. However, as you may recall, GalaxyTrail said that the game would be delayed for a third time a few days ago due to technical issues that still have not been eliminated. Basically, someone messed up big time!
If you do decide to purchase Freedom Planet, keep in mind that your console may experience freezing issues. It also looks like the Nindies@Home discount is not being applied. That’s another sign of Freedom Planet going up earlier than planned.
Thanks to Jake R for the tip.

Freedom Planet delayed yet again on Wii U, new date coming when all issues are fixed
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Freedom Planet has been unfortunately delayed once again. GalaxyTrail had most recently hoped to have the game ready to go on Thursday, but freezing issues are still present. A new date will not be announced until all issues have been addressed.
Developer Stephen DiDuro wrote in the official GalaxyTrail forums:
We received some sad news today: Our patch for the Wii U version of Freedom Planet didn’t fix all of the freezing issues. In light of this, we are cancelling our launch for the time being. We’re only going to announce a release date after the game is fixed and free of all issues not present in the PC version.
I understand that some fans out there were already upset at the last delay and that further delays would be the last straw, and to them I can only say that I’m sorry. I do not intend to deliver anything less than a 100% faithful and clean port, regardless of how long it takes.
If any of our new Wii U fans are interested in playing the PC/Mac/Linux version to tide them over, we’ll keep you updated on any sales or bundles we may be involved with in the future. We also have several extra announcements coming later this month including for our planned character DLC, so stay tuned.
We’re sorry again and thank you for your patience!
Freedom Planet has had several planned release dates on Wii U: August 3, August 13, and August 20. Here’s hoping that the next date will stick.
