Elliot Quest creator Luis Zuno appears to be pleased with the game’s sales performance on Wii U. Although specific numbers weren’t shared, Zuno told 4 color rebellion that sales coming from Nintendo’s console have been “much bigger than on Steam.”

Zuno also mentioned that bringing Elliot Quest to consoles was no easy feat. That’s why he’s thankful for PlayEveryWare’s efforts in porting the title to Wii U.

“…putting the game on the console has been a long journey and a lot of work and I definitely couldn’t have got there on my own, which is why I’m thankful for the help from PlayEveryWare to get there.

Elliot Quest launched for Wii U on March 19. The European release took place about a month later.

BadLand Indie, the publisher of Anima: Gate of Memories, recently reached out to us with information indicating that the game was no longer planned for Wii U. That was in spite of the fact that developer Anima Project Studio had intended to make this version happen for a couple of years now.

New comments from Anima Project Studio have only added to the confusion. The project is still apparently on for Wii U, but it’ll be released after other versions.

Here’s what was written on the title’s E3 2015 YouTube trailer page:

Again, no. We really plan to release it on WiiU. The only problem is that we wanted to release the WiiU version along the other consoles, and it is right now impossible for us, so we will work on it once the other versions are ready.

We’ve reached out to BadLand Indie as well as Anima Project Studio to clear up any final misunderstandings.

Anima: Gate of Memories has long been thought to be coming to Wii U. That’s in part because its creator has relayed interest in making the title for Nintendo’s console since the project’s early Kickstarter days. Sadly, we have now received information indicating that a Wii U release will not be happening.

You may recall that there were rumors about a Wii U version no longer being in the table earlier this year. However, at the time, creator Carlos García told us that the situation has remained the same, and it would still be brought to the system.

The developer of Anima: Gate of Memories partnered with BadLand Indie a few months ago. García intended to bring Anima to Wii U for a number of years, but it seems as though the situation changed once the partnership with BadLand was formed, as this version was removed from projections.

BadLand Indie told us earlier this week:

With a game that has a long history like Anima: Gate of Memories there are bound to be changes during development which conflict with previously released information. What I can say with certainty is that in the upcoming launch of the game this fall no Wii U release is planned.

So that’s that I suppose! Unless something changes in the future, Wii U will not be getting Anima: Gate of Memories. It’s unfortunate, but there’s not much that can be done about the situation.

A new trailer has come in for Wolf Brew Games’ Slain!, which is coming to the Wii U eShop early next year. You can watch it below.

In terms of how Slain! will play on Wii U, the GamePad will “most probably have a pulled out map of the full level and some special way to use mana /switch and switch weapons.”

Another piece of news surrounding Slain! is the project’s new composer. Curt Victor Bryant, a former bassist in the Swiss black metal band Celtic Frost, will be handling the music. Siliconera also reports that the team recently added an ice axe to Slain!, which has blades that morph into a snarling wolf’s head on the final strike.

It was only a few days ago that we heard about Castles coming to Wii U. Publisher BadLand Indie has since followed up with additional information, confirming a September 15 release date on Wii U.

Castles offers a mix of strategy and action gameplay. It follows “the story of the ambitious King Harold, whose greatest achievement will be the tower you are constructing.” Players are presented with more and more challenges as the tower grows in size. Unpredictable weather conditions along with the efforts of the jealous and vengeful King Edmund (who is King Harold’s nemesis) will attempt to get in your way.

Head past the break for a bunch of gameplay details about Castles.
