Is this the sequel to Bubsy 3d: Bubsy visits the James Turrell Retrospective? Shame it doesn't look as good.

Those games don't really look good (the 2nd game does look better slightly).. But, they are not out for many many months, so they have plenty of time to revise the games, esp the 2nd game.
The tetris puzzle game thingy might work out well, if revised slightly. Right now, looks way too slow and kinda boring. Though the concept could be interesting.

Yeah, I was jokin ;p
but interesting games usually get 1/2 replies on this topic, I was surprised by the instant interest about that shitty game AHAHHA
I'll look for other crap like that to bring interest to my topic!
Plus:
thanks to Weng and Dr. Wong for the updates!
some spares update:
It seems that Mutand Mudds sold really well on 3DS, not so much on all other platforms (Steam, PSN, Wii U), but they said Viva eshop, and still have to release it on PAL Wii U Eshop. So hopefully they'll port some other games. They should unveil their new project (Moon) but should be for 3DS
It seems that both Trine2 and Giana Sisters were as profitable on Wii U eshop as on other platforms, or better.
Shin'en is going to show their next new Wii U project in the next weeks, so hopefully during January. They are also aiming to present the best looking Wii U game with Neo Fast. It will also have new features over the original Fast.
Project Cars developers are willing to show the true graphical power of the Wii U with their racing game foreseen for Fall14.

Is it a remake/update to their moon for DS or a brand new game?
we still don't know. they just hinted: "We'll bring back the Moon in 14!"
could be another up-port from DS to 3DS as for their racing
Another Update:
Two Tribes is facing crucial internal re-structure. It seems that they had financial problem.
It seems that their 2d shooter exploitint TT2 engine is still in development and should lead also to the Wii U eshop.
Others updates (are mods ok with me bumping the topic with updates even if there were not replies in-between one post of mine and another?)
Two Tribes: they made money from TT2 on Wii U: those are going into the development of the new shump. It should be for PC and Wii U. Good to hear: I've bought TT2, Rush and Edge on the eshop. I'd love to see more TT games coming.
Armillo update:
"Development of Armillo is looking good. Still working on 2D levels and not far from getting them done. Some are quite fun!"
Unepic lukily coming soon also for PAL:
"Unepic WiiU approved in Europe! 23 January is a possible release date for Europe launch of Unepic !!!"
There are also screenshots: I like that equipment mess on the touch screen!!!

Wow ^ that game looks amazing!
These things take time.
Yeah, I know. But yours is not that far away, right?
I'm really curious how this turns out. It already looks great, has an interesting concept and music by David Wise.
Hopefully out by mid Feb. I'm looking to submit it to Nintendo by next week. Once this is all done, I'll likely have future games out sooner as I start to understand this process.
I'm likely to make my own level editor for future games, so I'm most likely to build a shorter game (a physic-based puzzle game) to test that out and aim to have that out by mid-Spring.

I'm not a mod but I think this is preferred because if you just do an edit, the thread will not get bumped and no one will know that you updated the thread.
Ok, thanks for the opinion. That was my intent too
Btw:
Tengami: already posted the new footage. I admint that I love the art, but I'm still not sure about the gameplay. But it's one of my most wanted.

TwoTribes: it would be few months before hear something new about the new shump, but it will have double-jump: "The double-jump mechanic is... ... more accurately described as jump-and-hover."
UnEpic: Trailer and screen and update on voices: they will be just in english and spanish. but should have text also in Italian.

Sorry I never made the new graphics, Aostia. I had intended to, but I haven't felt particularly inspired, and I'm apparently lazier than I thought!
What do you think about this?
Chasing Aurora Trailer
Somewhat inspired by Captain Smoker's new 2014 retail game thread in the info arrangement.
Also, I wasn't sure what to do with the Off-TV thing, so I just stuck it on the other corner there. I'll probably have some more ideas about this later, but I wanted to actually get something done.
A few other thoughts:
I think you should remove the text at the top of the thread, with the exception of the links to the virtual console & retail game threads (the latter of which should be updated to the new 2014 thread). The thread title is pretty self explanatory, and an under construction notice doesn't really add much.
Like I did above, the link to the trailer should have the game's name in the hyperlink in order to make the thread searchable. If the text is replaced with the graphics, finding a game would mean having to manually scroll, but if we have the game's name in the link to the trailer, a simple Ctrl+F search will make it nice and quick to find the info. It'd also probably make it easier for you to update the thread, since you'd be able to tell which graphic was for which game.

Looks good. Nice work as always. Would be cool if you could keep the information for number of players. And I noticed the year of release for Chasing Aurora, Puddle, Trine 2 is wrong. They all released in 2012.Sorry I never made the new graphics, Aostia. I had intended to, but I haven't felt particularly inspired, and I'm apparently lazier than I thought!

Making it searchable by using the name for the link to the trailer is also a great idea.

Next week, I believe!
Looks like F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition is getting an eShop release this upcoming week.

Does the WiiU version have online? Price?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Consider me intrigued. Art style looks semi generic though.
I like that they went eshop only instead of just canceling the game, other games almost finished should have done that also, like Young Justice league and Aliens CM, I know they are bad games but people get the chance to play them and their is no retail risk.

More publishers worried about sales of late ports should do this. I thought this one was cancelled, it's probably been sitting finished for a long time. I think the first I heard about it was 2-3 months before the Wii U launch..
Edit: Come on, Crysis 3, you can do it!
It would be awesome, if EA did this with Fifa on WiiU. Just port the PS360 versions with the gamepad interface from Fifa13 and release eshop only. Or to make it absolutely cost effective just release a Fifa13 reskin on WiiU every year (eshop only). I just love Off TV Fifa on my WiiU, but updated squads would be great too
Hopefully the price isn't ridiculous, seeing that it's a late port and digital only.

I think the main problem for FIFA 14 on Wii U was that FIFA 13 was based off FIFA 12. They couldn't set aside the resources to port the engine in time for FIFA 14 (PS4/One was obviously a priority last year), and certainly didn't want to release a "Legacy Edition" based off FIFA 12. There's no excuse for FIFA 15 though, that should be out for all major platforms - yes, that's including Wii U
(And please, it's time to cut that PS2 version, although I would love to know exactly how that version has evolved since 2008)Its 19.99 on Steam now, that should be the price but you never know with these publishers
add at least 10 for the console tax (a.k.a. platform holder license)
I would be interested if it was competent and had some gamepad use for 19.99

Out of curiosity, have any of the games kickstarted for the Wii U eShop released for the console?

The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths, can't say if any more have been released yet, not really paying attention to eShop just yet.
Cloudberry Kingdom came out last August. All the other ones aren't even done or have just come out and are still being ported over.
I guess they decided to meet halfway
Cloudberry Kingdom comes to mind as one.

Any updates if Ghost Song will be going to eShop? It's soo close to the $60K goal
He said he'll try but he's careful so he isn't promising anything. I doubt there'll be an update until he's at least close to finishing the PC build.
Def looking forward to that one, and it def has improved since I last saw it

It seems like Castlestorm is out as well.
CrossCode, an HTML5 Action-RPG currently in development, is coming to Wii U:
About the game:
Gameplay TechDemo
In the blog post where the Wii U version was announced they also detail the progress they made since releasing the TechDemo. They also put it in video form.
Looks and plays interesting. I'm curious how it will turn out.
About the game:
CrossCode combines retro-style 2D graphics with the unique theme of throwing energy balls at everything. By throwing balls you will:
All this gets delivered as a plot-driven Action-RPG.

Another question, apart from looking on forums, and the "highlighted games" that Nintendo puts on the main page, how do folks look for/find games on the Wii U eShop? Is there search on the eShop or anything?
There is a search bar at the top with quite a few filter options.
I guess they decided to meet halfway
Not too bad I guess. A quick Amazon UK search shows £7.01 (PS3) + £11.40 (360) so the Wii U version isn't that much more (at least it's better than Lego Batman 2's price at release). Would be neat if a few third parties (yeah I know asking too much here) did a few cheap Wii U ports as budget digital only titles.
