Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Quest of Dungeons from Upfall Studios, previously made available for PC, Mac, Linux, and Xbox One, is now making its way to Nintendo platforms. The dungeon crawling roguelike is planned for both Wii U and 3DS.

In Quest of Dungeons, players can choose from four character classes. The goal is to go through randomly generated dungeons, obtain loot, and boost abilities.

Here’s the lowdown from the game’s Steam page:

By playing as either a Warrior, a Wizard, a Assassin or a Shaman you have to traverse dungeons, defeat enemies and loot everything you can in order to survive. You can learn new skills in Tomes you find along the way and buy/sell items at shops.
The entire game is procedural so you won’t find items/enemies in the same place each time you play.
Features
– Procedural dungeons
– Procedural weapons
– Boss encounters
– Quests
– 3 Difficulty levels
– Permadeath – Once you die, game over man, game over!
– Shop – buy and sell items/weapons
– Leaderboards – compare your Adventure points with the community

Quest of Dungeons does not currently have a release date on Nintendo systems. You can see a trailer below.

The Witness unlikely for Wii U, but dev “will see about the next Nintendo console”

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 5 Comments

In 2013, when The Witness was first announced, creator Jonathan Blow left the door open to a Wii U version. The game has now debuted on PlayStation 4 and PC. Could a Wii U version still be a possibility?

On Twitter, Blow told one fan that his new game is “unlikely” for Wii U. That being said, he added that he’ll “see about the next Nintendo console” – NX, in other words.

Here’s the full tweet:

@federationforce It is unlikely that we could do it on the Wii U but we will see about the next Nintendo console.
