Game title: Affordable Space Adventures
Publisher: KnapNok Games
Release date: April 9th, 2015
Platform: Wii U™ / Nintendo eShop
Players: 1-3 players

Game description:
Affordable Space Adventures is a 2.5D side scrolling spaceship simulator. You are using the Wii U™ GamePad as a “Heads Down Display” – spaceship cockpit, and you have to configure all the systems in order to fly around undetected on an alien planet. You can either pilot the Small Craft TM solo, or fly as a crew of 2 to 3 players, requiring a lot of communication between the players.

Features
– Suspenseful stealth puzzling: How do you configure and control the system so you don’t get seen, heard or otherwise detected?
– Experience thrills, spookiness and beautiful areas of the world crafted and designed by Swedish indie game developer “Nifflas”.
– Two difficulty levels going from family friendly to extremely complex.
– Play with your friends and control the ship together or take on the challenge alone.
– A game that truly utilizes the potential of the Wii U hardware.

History
Affordable Space Adventures is collaboration between Nicklas “Nifflas” Nygren (Knytt Underground, Nightsky) and KnapNok Games (Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party). We are merging Nifflas’ passion for making atmospheric exploration and mind-bending puzzles with KnapNok Games’ dedication to work with weird new interfaces and an eye for what is happening in front of the TV.

We shared this as part of the Nintendo press release published today, but I figured it was worth a post of its own. There’s news about even more games for the Wii U eShop – notably Octodad and Shantae: Risky’s Revenge (also coming to 3DS). Affordable Space Adventures and Trine 1 also have release dates, which is something I know you guys have been interested in!

Four Sided Fantasy is coming to Wii U next year thanks to developer Ludo Land and publisher Curve Digital. The game was funded on Kickstarter in May of last year.

Four Sided Fantasy offers a mix of puzzle and platforming gameplay, in which players “make their way around surreal dreamlike levels by controlling and manipulating the way the screen wraps around itself”. Asteroids and Pac-Man are a couple of examples that feature a similar wraparound mechanic.

Watch Four Sided Fantasy’s trailer above. The title is due out in Q1 2016.
