The point and click adventure genre is hugely popular in Germany, especially in PC gaming, and Deep Silver seems keen to give fans in the country more of what they want. As a result an updated version of Secret Files: Tunguska is arriving on the Wii U eShop today.
This isn't a Virtual Console release of the previous Wii or DS version, but seems to be a new Wii U version that utilises off-TV play and touch screen controls. As a result it's likely to be very similar to the relatively recent releases of the game on iOS and Android, and will presumable have crisper visuals in comparison to the last-gen versions.
It's arriving in Germany today for €9.99, but isn't set to arrive in the rest of the EU yet, despite this version having an English language option included. There is some good news for fans outside of Germany in the EU, however, as a PEGI rating has been in place for the last couple of weeks that suggests it's on the way. There's no rating for North America yet.
Are you interested in tackling this one again on Wii U?

I've played this on PC; it's really cool
This was always a game I was interested in but was never able to pull the trigger on and buy. Maybe I will give it a look now.
I played this on DS some years ago. It was enjoyable but featured some illogical puzzles. But point 'n click fans already expect that so go ahead if the genre is your cup of tea. I'd be interested in the sequels.
I wish someone will remake or do a sequel to The Last Express. It's the best point and click game I ever played.
I'm interested and for 10 euros/pounds its almost instabuy for me. And yes, Wii U with its touch screen controller seems like the perfect platform for point and click adventures.
I love point and click! Broken Sword, Mystery of the Druids, all fab. Definitely interested, though I have played on PC.
@ThomasBW84 I believe point and click are also popular in France. There's a whole series of historical games about Ancient Egypt, the Aztecs etc. I remember really enjoying those 10-15 years ago.
I actually played this long time ago. I remember liking it for what it's worth...
Aww man.
I saw it on Miiverse and went straight to the eShop, only to find out it wasn't there </3
Definitely, didn't manage too play this on the Wii with HD graphics plus gamepad functions and low price makes this a good fit for the Wii U eshop although would prefer a physical retail copy around 10-15 bucks.
Lol, a Germany-exclusive re-release? You don't see that very often. ^^
I know that game but since I'm not a big fan of classic point-and-click adventures, I'll pass.
Anyway, @TommyTLG and everyone else outside of Germany (but in Europe) wanting to buy that game from the eshop: You can simply do what we German users do when we want a game that wasn't released here (like Ittle Dew):
Create a new account on your Wii U, set the location to (in this case) Germany and you can access the German eshop. Now all you need is an eshop card to top up your eshop balance. I usually buy those here but there are also other shops selling the codes online.
