Pier Solar HD has a final release date. On its Facebook page, developer Watermelon announced that its game will launch via the eShop on November 6.

Take a look at the post below:

It was originally thought that Pier Solar HD would be coming to Wii U today based on an entry from Nintendo’s website. However, Watermelon quickly clarified that the listing was inaccurate.

Update: In turns out that Nintendo’s listing is inaccurate, which is somewhat of a surprise! It’s one of the rare times as of late that a game page has included an incorrect date. However, a final release date will be announced next week.

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.

WaterMelon has reiterated that Pier Solar HD is a possibility for 3DS.

Company president Tulio Adriano Cardoso Gonçalves told RedBull UK:

“We’d like to have supported more platforms at the launch, but we had to draw a line at certain point so that we didn’t lose our focus. Still, there’s a lot of demand for handhelds such as 3DS and PS Vita, so we’ll assess those after the game is launched on the main platforms.”

A few tidbits about the Wii U version of Pier Solar HD have been divulged as well. As far as how the GamePad is being taken advantage of, Gonçalves said:

“On the Wii U you can either use the GamePad as a mirror screen for off-TV play, or as a fully-interactive second screen that will allow you to perform many operations related to your inventory, spells and other new functions new to Pier Solar HD.”

Pier Solar HD has been delayed a bit. In a recent Kickstarter update, Watermelon Games president Tulio Goncalves revealed a new March 2014 launch for the game. That means we should be seeing the game on Wii U around that timeframe.
