Pier Solar HD going through the submission process
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Pier Solar HD is coming closer to release. The game was recently approved by Valve for release on Steam, but the team “failed some internal requirements on the certification” with Microsoft, which ultimately impacts the Wii U launch. Developer Watermelon says this shouldn’t take too long and a final release date should come sooner rather than later.
We’re starting the submission process for PSHD. Valve already approved it for release on Steam so that’s done and done. We may contact some of you who subscribed to beta test to test the game on Steam using a beta key. Stay tuned. Microsoft already evaluated Pier Solar as well but we failed some internal requirements on the certification and we’re correcting them for the next submission. This also impacts Wii U and PlayStation(s) submissions since we want to send it as clean as possible so that we don’t get another failed certification. Luckily, the process doesn’t take as long as we thought, so the perspectives to getting a release date gets better. As soon as we’re certified on all platforms we’ll announce the date and put it on the street. We’re also submitting PSHD for PEGI, which is slightly more complex than ESRB, but required for a release in Europe. We’re expecting a rating of PEGI 7. One last thing, we’re working to get a publisher to release PSHD in Japan. Due CERO regulations it’s only possible to release a game if a studio has an established working office in Japan and we don’t have it. So once we get it we’re secure to release in Japan, this, hopefully could also lead to having a publisher for 360. Fingers crossed.

Much of FAST Racing Neo is still shrouded in mystery, but developer Shin’en did recently share one tidbit about the game on Twitter. The studio said that its racer will run at 60 frames per second – something that should definitely make FAST look smooth on Wii U.
Shin’en’s tweet is as follows:
@MaxWill37699872 Finally getting all beautiful visuals in stable 60fps. Looked impossible when we started.
