About a year and a half later, it’s finally launching on Wii U. A listing on the eShop shows a date of April 6.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We have the following overview:<\/p>\n The Animal Gods have fallen. Once sacred, they are now husks\u2014haunted beasts lost to toxic fumes from a great bronze industry.
