Typoman was one of nine titles to feature in the E3 Nindies@Home promotion, a smart twist on puzzle platforming with wordplay and a Limbo vibe to the visual design. Based on that demo alone it's certainly full of promise.
The good news is that it's not too far away from its arrival on the Wii U eShop. It's now been confirmed that this one's targeting a 16th September release, and we've clarified with Headup Games that this is the date for all regions. This release date was given along with various other game details from the publisher, though Typoman is the only title confirmed for Wii U at this stage.
Did you try the E3 demo, and are you tempted to pick this up in September?

Unfortunately, the preview wouldn't start for me, for some reason, but I'm looking forward to this.
Lets hope Typoman doesn't get delayed like Freedom Planet which I was hopping to download today.
I'm looking forward to this! I quite liked the preview. But why so close to Super Mario Maker release date!?
Loved the preview, but I do hope they've refined the controls a bit as they were rather clunky.
Now if only we could hear about the others...
The preview was alright but I know this is one of those games that I'll play one or 2 times,get stuck and never play again so I'll be giving this a miss.
@NintendoFan64 The demo for it takes ages to load,I thought it wasn't working too.
My favorite out of all Nindie demos for sure. I'm almost certain I'll get this.
Yay! I loved the preview, think I'm definitely going to buy this.
@OorWullie So you're saying the Nindies@home preview version still works?
Just yesterday I tried the same thing with the Runbow preview version and it crashed my Wii U.
Can't decide. I felt like the preview played slow and slightly awkward. It's not something I plan to get day one (like Runbow or that Poltergeist game, geeze that was good).
Maybe when it goes on sale I'll give it a look if the reviews are good. Or if the reviews are amazing I'll look to pick it up earlier (I'd be surprised if the reviews are amazing, but always happy to get another amazing game).
Hmmm.... maybe, we'll see how it does in reviews. Looks pretty neat...
@shani I just checked there and it's still working.
@Captain_Gonru Ah okay, I always assumed they wouldn't work after the date that was mentioned in the eshop. I just kept all of them since you get a discount when you buy the full version. But I probably will only buy Typoman and Runbow, the other ones weren't convincing.
@OorWullie: Ah okay, thanks for the info! After the crash yesterday (I think it was my very first, my old Wii had a few more crashes to withstand), I didn't want to press my luck, but then I'll try Typoman again.
I liked the dark atmosphere in this. Kinda reminds me of World of Goo.
The demo sold me on this game so yay!
Woot! Looking forward to this one.
@AlexOlney I feel the same way. There was no option to walk and it just felt unnatural.
@cyrus_zuo You mean Extreme Excorcism? I was so impressed by that game.
The demo did exactly what it should have, and demonstrated that the game concept has potential. I'll wait for a review or two (and sadly, games like this don't get reviewed enough so there won't be many to choose from), but if the game lives up to at least some of that potential I will definitely be buying this.
I got the demo but never tried it. Premise looks interesting though.
So any word on what the price is for those of us who did get the demo?
@Hero-of-WiiU yeah that was it! Extreme Excorcism =so fun! Day one purchase!
I thought the demo was great, a really intriguing collection of ideas. I'm not sure how much I would actually play this however so I'm hanging in price/review comparisons.
Typo-man
Sounds like a capcom game
Thank you I'll be here till Wednesday
This looks really interesting. Will probably pick it up when it launches!
I enjoyed the demo that was released during E3 and if they smooth the framerate out a little bit then it could be a must get game.
I am a little lost. Can someone explain about the demo? it was a special thing?
Hmm... Misinformation? I don't see it yet. Any further word?
