Dolores Entertainment is currently in the process of porting Bit Dungeon over to Wii U. The game previously released on PC and mobile.

Here’s an official description of Bit Dungeon:

bit Dungeon combines the randomized loot of Diablo and fast action combat of Zelda. Explore randomized dungeons and hack and slash your way through dangerous bosses. The difficultly increases as you become stronger and stronger. Build your character how you want with deadly passive abilities.

Just like the classic quarter crunchers of old, if you die you lose everything and start all over. Can you make it to the end and save the day?
•If you die you lose all items and start over.
•Extra Life: at Level 4 you receive a Soul after the boss instead of more magic. When you die this soul gives you a second chance.


Woah Dave! launched on the 3DS eShop just recently. In the case of Wii U, some may wonder why the game didn’t land on the console.

The decision, at least partially, can be attributed to game engines. Choice Provisions felt that bringing Woah Dave! over would be “difficult” as it would have needed to be ported to Unity or C++, according to former Nintendo indie head Dan Adelman.

One of the games they showed was Woah Dave!. Being a good Nintendo employee, I of course asked whether they were planning on releasing it on Wii U. They told me that it would be really difficult to do, because the game was originally created with an engine that would make porting to Wii U difficult. They would need to port the game over to Unity or C++.
