Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
CastleStorm will launch on Wii U on December 26, Zen Studios has announced. That date applies to both North America and Europe.
Zen Studios outlined how CastleStorm takes advantage of the GamePad in a press release published today:
CastleStorm makes full use of the Nintendo Wii U Gamepad, which mirrors the action being displayed on the TV allowing the game to be fully playable on the GamePad without a TV. All functionality is available without touch as well, using the sticks and action buttons. In local multiplayer, one player uses the Pro Controller and looks at the TV, the other player uses the GamePad and plays on the Gamepad screen.
CastleStorm will be available for $9.99 / €9.99.

How to Survive coming to Wii U next year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
How to Survive’s launch came and gone in late October, but the game still hasn’t made its way to Wii U. The game’s absence has led some to question whether it’d ever land on the eShop, but we can confirm that 505 Games’ original plans haven’t changed.
The publisher told us that How to Survive is still very much in the works for Wii U. It remains in development, and according to 505 Games, will release on Nintendo’s console next year.
