Irony is that Wii U probably will end up with at least as many good games as Wii did in 2012.

Also, YIIK is supposed to come out soon but no idea when. I feel like that game's been delayed like 10 times in 3 years.

I heard that Ackk Studios moved both YIIK: A Postmodern RPG and Chromophore: Two Brothers - Director's Cut to Switch.

I think World to the West by Rain Games was confirmed to be still in development for Wii U. I'm not sure though if it launches alongside the Switch version.

No, I think they just added Switch. I follow them on Twitter so if they cancelled the Wii U version, I probably would've known.

@SKTTR it will continue for a while especially since Legend of Zelda botw did so well so the audience for games are still there.

Star soldier uhmm memories.

Does Harvest Moon 64 exist in the European Eshop?

@Chandlero Yes, all the games listed above exist in the European Wii U eShop.

You didn't mention the HD remastered edition of the Tortuga Island adventure game one of the best adventures on the PC in the last decade.
