Nexis Games shared another trailer for UCraft today. You can find it attached above.

Additionally, Nexis shared an update regarding UCraft’s launch. It was originally targeted for this holiday, but the game has now been pushed back to Q2 2015.

Nexis explained in a new blog post:

Initially we were shooting for a holiday release however we have decided to effectively delay the game until the 2nd quarter of 2015. We know that this may come as a surprise to many of you but we feel this is the best course of action to ensure we deliver the best product possible to our beloved Wii U Community. We have devoted countless hours to the development of UCraft and we are very proud of our progress to date. We feel UCraft and the Wii U community deserve a great product not something rushed to the eshop to make a quick buck. We apologize from the bottom of our hearts Wii U Community but we are confident that this is the best move for UCraft.

Back in the WiiWare days, Nintendo implemented a sales threshold. Games needed to sell a certain amount of copies before developers/publishers received any compensation.

Thankfully, that policy is long gone. The eShop does not have a minimum threshold of any kind, Nintendo’s Ed Valiente reconfirmed at the Italian Game Developers Summit today.

He said:

“So we have no minimum threshold. You earn from the first sale you make.”

Valiente also offered the following insight when asked if Nintendo enforces certain price tiers on developers:

“We let developers set the price and release date. So no, there are no thresholds, no limited price – although people still ask us what we think they should sell their game for. My answer is: go on to the eShop, see what other games are selling for, see where your game fits in and set your price accordingly. My one advice would be don’t go too low at the beginning. Because if you go too low at the beginning, you don’t have any room to manoeuvre. Games should be worth something. Out of all the games I play on smart devices, I prefer ones I can pay for – and sometimes I wish I could pay more than 99 cents.”
