Though Nostatic Software is a studio with quite a few games in its release history, it's new to Nintendo hardware. Just recently it published a compilation of small games as The Quiet Collection on the Wii U eShop in North America, which we gave a recommendation in our review.
The studio is wasting no time in bringing another title from its back-catalogue to the Wii U in North America, with Kung Fu FIGHT! arriving on the store on 6th August for $1.99. As you can see below it's a twitch-reaction runner, and there'll be multiple difficulty modes available.
Are you tempted to grab this on the Wii U?

OK Indy devs. Stop with the 8 bit graphics. I love retro looks and all, but please step it up to 16-bit. PLEASE. I'm asking very politely here.
Looks like fun and for that price I might get it. I love reaction runner games like this.
@XCWarrior can you blame them when it's the "in" thing? Nostalgia is a very powerful thing, and it's sure to catch the attention of anyone who lived and gamed then. Plus, it's easier to do when your art skills suck. Bonus points for Wii U indies, since those and the rare exclusives are the only indies selling well on the eShop.
@argh4430 I own 28 WiiU eshop and 34 3DS eshop games. I buy physical whenever possible, so that's 62 games you can only get on the eshop. Most of them are the indy devs. I like 8 bit... but too much of it right now. Maybe work with a buddy and get the art skill up a bit. We have this thing called the internet, shouldn't be that hard to work together with someone.
@XCWarrior I agree with you. If I see one more indie 8-bit side scroller I might lose it.
Actually, I'm pretty much over any indie side scroller ever going forward.
At least give this a chance, I've played it before, and it is amazing, very similar to Bit.trip Runner.
So is this just the game from vacation with difficulty selection or is it more fleshed out?
Kind of reminds me of Kung Fu Master.

I loved kung fu and can still remember the epic music, spent too many 10 pences on it as a kid! This doesn't look similar enough for me.
I think they're getting Nostalgia mixed up with lack of art style. You can make 8 bit look beautiful, look at Shovel Knight. Or if you want to go 16 bit check out Renegade Kid's Mutant Mudds or Xeodrifter. This is just lazy (on the art front).
If you think the gameplay looks fun do yourself a favour and pick up Bit.Trip Runner 2 (or Bit.Trip Presents: Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, to give it it's full name).
I'd rather have Kung fu master instead. Thought the wii u eshop would've become a treasure trove of classics by now but I guess not. Oh well...
@Ogbert Boom. What you said is what i was trying to say, but only much better.
