Zen Studios will continue supporting Wii U, no 3DS plans currently
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Wii U owners can expect more support from Zen Studios in the future. The company announced that three more tables will be coming to the console next week, and fans can look out for even more content going forward.
Zen Studios’ Mel Kirk told Nintendo Life:
Yes, we are aiming for Wii U parity in the future with updates and new tables. Additionally, KickBeat Special Edition will be released on Wii U in line with other releases on other consoles.
Zen is committed to continuing support of the Wii U eShop in the future. We are really encouraged by the amazing games coming to the platform and we think there will be a boost in Wii U sales that will hopefully translate to players coming to the eShop to discover games. I think Zen might have the most Wii U eShop releases, so we hope players enjoy our games!
Zen Studios has made a few titles for 3DS as well, though the platform isn’t as likely to be supported in the future, which Kirk explained:
At this time we do not have any 3DS plans to share. Our type of game system does not mesh very well with 3DS, so it has been tough to support add-on content. However, the game does play amazing on the 3DS, and I especially love it on the XL.

The Walking Dead table coming to Zen Pinball 2 next week
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Zen Studios is releasing a table based on The Walking Dead for its various pinball platforms next week – including Wii U. It’s due out on August 28 for Nintendo’s console through Zen Pinball 2.
Below is an official overview of the table:
Zen and Telltale have collaborated closely on every facet of the table’s design, portraying the captivating story and choice-driven gameplay design of The Walking Dead: Season One in a truly exciting pinball experience. The table will present players with recognizable locations like Clementine’s treehouse and Everett’s pharmacy in Macon, down to the walker-infested streets of Savannah, and players will find a breathtaking retelling of Season One that keeps the peril and drama of Lee and Clementine’s story intact.
The Walking Dead pinball table also presents choice-driven gameplay across each of Season One’s five episodes, offering brand new story dialogue from the award-winning cast. Players will be tasked with choosing who lives and who dies in a walker attack, solving problems and raising the group’s morale, hunting down food and supplies, acquiring important tools, and navigating through the herd amidst an oncoming walker breach.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Zen Studios has reiterated its dedication to Wii U time and time again. But you know what they say: “show, don’t tell”.
Thankfully, it sounds like it won’t be long now before Zen Studios shares some concrete information about its upcoming Wii U plans. The company’s Mel Kirk, writing on Zen’s forums, teased “very big Wii U news” that will be shared “very soon.”
He said:
Actually, we will have some very big Wii U news very soon. This is a difficult platform to support from a technology standpoint. Simple patches are not simple. New content additions are not easy due to the way the system is set up. We are committed to supporting Wii U. Again, please look for an announcement in the coming weeks. Thanks for supporting Zen Studios.

Community manager Bobby Loertscher wrote on the company’s forums:
We have not dropped support for the Wii U, we are going to try to get more content out to you guys. I will post when I have more firm details on what and when
