Earthlock dev reconfirms Wii U plans, Kickstarter backers will get Switch version for free if it happens
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
SnowCastle Games was last hoping to launch Earthlock: Festival of Magic on Wii U by early March. That didn’t happen though, and we haven’t heard much about the Wii U version since. A new Kickstarter update provides an update on the situation.
SnowCastle is reconfirming that the Wii U version is on the way. As for the holdup, the team explained:
“I would like to ensure you all that we are still working on the Wii U version. We did the first optimization pass in January and were very hopeful that we would be able to release the game soon after that. However during the Quality Assurance process afterwards, we concluded that it needed more work, and so here we are.
The Wii U version has gone through a full second optimization pass and is now in QA again. We are still working hard on getting it out ASAP, but having missed the estimated date in the last KS update, I’ll just stick to the ‘as soon as possible.'”
A Switch version of Earthlock is still an uncertainty. However, if it does happen, all Wii U backers will receive a copy for free.
Earthlock targeted for end of February / early March on Wii U, Switch is “an uncertainty”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
Earthlock: Festival of Magic remains on track for Wii U, and the developer is finishing up this release. The team is sorting through some last challenges at the moment. If everything is properly completed, Earthlock could be hitting Wii U at the end of February / start of March.
Now, what about Switch? SnowCastle Games is still interested in the platform, but writes in a Kickstarter update that “Nintendo has not given us a clear response on when we may expect to publish on their new console.”
The full status update for Earthlock on Nintendo platforms reads:
“The Wii U version is giving us some challenges, but we have made great progress. Only the last few scenes remain to be optimised. We hope to enter certification in about 2 weeks. It might be tight, but we are still optimistic about a Wii U launch around the end of February/ beginning of March. I’ll keep you posted once we have more precise dates.
Nintendo Switch is still an uncertainty. Nintendo has not given us a clear response on when we may expect to publish on their new console. Feel free to use social media to let Nintendo know that you want Earthlock on the Switch. (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica).”
