Runner2 isn’t the only Wii U eShop title confirmed to have sold one million copies this week. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams has reached the same target, Black Forest Games has announced.

Black Forest Games’s managing director Andreas Speer said of the milestone:

“One million copies sold absolutely qualifies Giana Sisters as an indie hit – and yet it took a Kickstarter campaign to be able to develop the game. It wouldn’t have been possible in the classic way through publisher financing. It is only thanks to the dedication of our 6,000 backers that one million gamers (and counting) got the chance to play.”

Indie developer 4 Corner Games has announced I’ve Got To Run for the Wii U eShop.

I’ve Got To Run is a 2D platformer with procedurally generated endless runner elements. Players control Roy the Marshmellow Boy in three different modes: Endless Classic, Endless Double, and Endless Special.

The first, Endless Classic, is your typical one-jump experience. Endless Double features a double jump, while Endless Special contains speed up and speed down power-ups.

All three modes ensure that there are no impossible jumps. It only takes a fraction of a second if you do fail, however.

Aside from I’ve Got to Run’s three modes, there’s also Miiverse support to track high scores and an in-game page made for posting to the community so you can compare with other players. 60 frames per second is supported on the TV and GamePad.

I’ve Got To Run will be available in North America in Q2 for $1.99. A European release is also a possibility, though no specific plans have been announced for the continent.
