Lock if old.

We’d like to apologize to everyone who’s been waiting for the EU/US update and the release in Australia and New Zealand.
At first the promise for release was mid-December and then early January, but neither of those happened.

Long story short, we have been stuck in the submission process and are now once again waiting for approval, although next week is looking promising. Sorry for all the trouble.

Why does it need a patch?

I think it's fixing some coloring issues and adding language support for various languages. Could be some other stuff they're adding. It's more of an update patch then a bug fixing patch.

voice chat maybe?
btw is one of my favourite games on the Wii U up to now.

Nice. Waited for that patch.

There's a few bugs here and there, and supposedly adding voice chat support. Playing Multiplayer is a nightmare in some spots without being able to communicate

dwu8991 · (01-18-2013, 03:20 PM)

oh

BruiserBear · (01-18-2013, 03:21 PM)

This certainly took long enough. The gamma bug was identified immediately after launch, in November. :/

gamethriller · (01-18-2013, 03:21 PM)

Are they gonna add chat support using the gamepad?

VICI0US · (01-18-2013, 03:21 PM)

neat.

bought it while it was on sale last week but I haven't had a chance to actually play it much yet, i'll probably wait until the patch hits to get started.

According to their awesome youtube video...

They sent it to Nintendo early December. Of course this raises the question how long will patch approval be when there are actually multiple games receiving patches?

marc^o^ · (01-18-2013, 03:29 PM)

Pro controller dupport? Cool.

enishi · (01-18-2013, 03:32 PM)

Heard a lot of good comments on this one

But...... will I ever see it in Japan eshop? :(

AndrewDean84xX · (01-18-2013, 03:39 PM)

I've held off on playing this until the patch comes out. I've owned the game since the da I purchased my Wii U in November.

Phife Dawg · (01-18-2013, 03:47 PM)

Good, I can finally start playing.

Also: holidays.

ozfunghi · (01-18-2013, 04:04 PM)

Image looks fine on my plasma, but ok. The most welcome addition is procontroller support, because playing it with the wiimote/chuck is rather frustrating (awkward jump button).

AzaK · (01-18-2013, 04:26 PM)

I was wondering if they needed to resubmit. Been waiting for NZ release for weeks.

Broken Hope · (01-18-2013, 04:43 PM)

I thought devs were praising how easy it was to get patches/updates up on the e shop, doesn't appear to be that easy afterall?

I thought something looked a little weird. I know most games seem to look better on the gamepad screen, but trine 2 looks substantially better on the gamepad more than it should I think.

frankie_baby · (01-18-2013, 05:39 PM)

The now once again waiting for approval comment makes it sound like they had to resubmit

Holidays. Under normal circumstances, approval is supposed to take roughly two weeks.

Weren't they more talking about Nintendo not charging so much and having too much control over their content? It's been back for a few resubmissions so I imagine they had a bug or two in there, or missed some simple guidelines.

Well it wasn't necessarily Nintendo's fault. FB had to submit multiple times so maybe they had bugs or didn't meet UI guidelines.

Either way it's about damned time!

Gafception? How did you manage this?

Haha! It's not hard. Have children and proceed to not sleep.

Wake · (01-21-2013, 07:40 AM)

Did the WiiU ever get full RGB? Have they said anything about it?

Tron#1 · (01-21-2013, 07:40 AM)

sad thing is I'm stuck on a part in this game and havent played it in like 3 weeks. Shallow Halls it suck seems like wasted money.

shibbs · (01-21-2013, 07:42 AM)

Does this update include pro controller support?

VOOK · (01-21-2013, 07:43 AM)

Most of the delay was due to the holidays.

Nintendo.

Pineconn · (01-21-2013, 07:44 AM)

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm relatively confident that Treyarch sent out a patch for BO2 in late November/very early December; it went live on Christmas Eve. I'm pretty sure Nintendo's patch approval process is molasses.

WayForward could learn something from this. Even a mere Tweet with 'Mighty Switch Force HD ain't coming to AUS/NZ eShop. Later tubby!' would be better than the whole lot of nothing being said and questions being ignored.

Smiles and Cries · (01-21-2013, 07:52 AM)

good news been waiting for this update.

Wolves Evolve · (01-21-2013, 07:56 AM)

If you're in Australia:

1. Switch region in settings to UK
2. Make a new Mii
3. Go into UK eShop
4. Buy Mighty Switch Force HD
5. Log out of your UK Mii and into Australian Mii
6. Switch region back

7. Drink deep from the well of hater tears

JAYSIMPLE · (01-21-2013, 07:59 AM)

Looking forward to this update so I can do some 3 player co op with friends. Can't wait.

Question - Will I still get patches if I download off the UK eShop.

Have you consulted Miiverse?

I think so. I bought Ninja Gaiden on the Austrian eShop, switched the country back to Germany, and still got the patches.

axisofweevils · (01-24-2013, 09:20 PM)

The patch is up! (At least in EU)

blu · (01-24-2013, 09:47 PM)

Voice chat has 'always on' and 'push to talk' modes - nice! Oh, and a proper gamma goes a long way in making the game even more gorgeous.

marc^o^ · (01-24-2013, 09:53 PM)

Looks so good now, it seems like they even made the graphic rendering better on the GamePad.

That's nice. Haven't tried it out yet - can you simply use the built in mic? (I suppose yes but you never know)

But still no NZ version. I checked 1/2 dozen hours ago (Thursday, the day of updates) and no show. It's >< close to my money going elsewhere.

Edit: Just checked again now and it's still not there in NZ shop. They're just taking the piss now.
