We've often written about the Wii U eShop offering an impressively diverse range of genres in its games, catering to fans of platformers, shoot 'em ups, puzzle games, more platformers...
There have also been some trivia / quiz games, but none have been solely about dinosaurs. Well, that gap in the market will be filled by Dinox, a 'prehistory' trivia game that'll support solo play or up to four players at once. One example given is that a "Tyrannosaurus Rex could have bitten through a car"; we doubt that'd be covered by insurance if it actually happened.
This is being published by Engine Software, with development support from Codix, and will include video to introduce the dinosaurs and over 900 questions; it'll cost $4.99/€4.99 and is set to arrive on 10th December. Engine Software has brought some high-quality content to the eShop - most recently porting Gunslugs 2 to 3DS - so this could be a fun trivia game over the festive season.
Will you be digging up some trivia fossils with this one?

That gap's been troubling me for some time.
Finally! The solution to all my problems. You don't understand how much of life's problems are washed away just by knowing random Dinosaur trivia.
The only gap I know of is a Dinosaur FPS gap.
. . . I miss Turok, sigh.
If it's all easy stuff I'll be disappointed. I think only my daughter can be any competition for me.
Oh, thank god... I was about to sell my Wii U, thought this humongous gap would never filled..
@KTT Yup or else it's just a waste.
Dinosaurs aren't really my thing, but I know a few younger family members who would love this. Personally, I'd quite like an "Elements of the Periodic Table" game or something that explains basic scientific principles in a fun way. Or I could just read a book.
Noooo don't port Gunslugs 2 to Wii u- give us dinosaur poo instead! Put the dinosaurs to better use at least?!? More crud for the Wii u!!
I might actually get this. In my youth I knew all about dinosaurs. A ridiculous amount that I can barely recall now. This might bring back fond memories.
It's a nice idea, let's just hope it's executed well.
