Were told they were welcome to "release as is" for themselves
Earlier in the Summer Ludosity confirmed that it's bringing its title Ittle Dew to the Wii U eShop. It's often been described as a "Zelda-inspired" game, and not in the usual practice of listing popular franchises that have had some minor influence on a game. This really is a game with a...

News Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD Confirmed, But Not For Wii U
Oh Konami, you little scamp
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate divided fans of the famous Konami franchise, perhaps because of its clunky name, or more likely due to its different take with a 2.5D camera and more measured, combo-driven combat. For our part we were fans, awarding 8/10 in our review. In any case, Konami's Dave Cox had...

Precursor's chief creative hopes to give players the power of development

News Zombie Title How to Survive Confirmed for the Wii U eShop, Without Online Multiplayer
Of course...
Earlier this month we reported on ratings suggesting that zombie title How to Survive — from 505 games — looked set for the Wii U eShop.

Review Galaga (Wii U eShop / NES)
That man is playing Galaga!
Galaga is old. It may well state 1988 on Galaga’s NES title screen, but that refers to its European and US release date, the Japanese Famicom conversion was released early in 1985 and they are all based on a port of Namco’s 1981 coin-op. This means that with any Wii U Virtual Console purchase you must consider if you...
Review Pokémon Rumble U (Wii U eShop)
Wind me up
Nintendo has never been afraid to spin one of its biggest money makers, Pokémon, off into various weird and wonderful directions in between the mainline RPGs that are the franchise's bread and Butterfree.

News Denis Dyack - "Actions Will Speak Volumes" as Precursor Games Seeks to Build Trust
Dyack tells us about the role of the community in Shadow of the Eternals

Review Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party (Wii U eShop)
You spin me right 'round baby, right 'round

Review Art Academy: SketchPad (Wii U eShop)
A masterpiece or sketchy at best?
One of the most fascinating things about Miiverse is how Nintendo is paying such close attention to it. Not just in the sense that it is regularly updating it, but rather the company is actually listening to what its consumers are saying on the platform. It's remarkably unusual for a company that until now had been...

Barnstorming

Review Cloudberry Kingdom (Wii U eShop)
Maddeningly brilliant
Cloudberry Kingdom has never left anyone in doubt — it wants to test and infuriate gamers.
