TRU: Alliance bringing Brunswick Pro Bowling to Wii U retail

Edit: Oh wow, it's also coming out on PS4 and XBO:

Says it's due on Oct 27th. Alliance is mentioned on the page, I assume the box isn't final.

TRU also now lists Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director's Cut Wii U retail as being out on Nov 9th after two delays, also by Alliance.

Googling shows the newer mobile BPB and earlier PS360 release was by Farsight so they're likely behind the Wii U game.

Interesting that Alliance's taking a shot at some Wii U retail games when barely anyone else is. BPB will suck I'm sure, but still, interesting to see nonetheless IMO.

Just get Wii Sports Club Bowling instead on the eShop for only $10. :p

Got me lookin' through TRU and seems like Play It are doing a few more PS4 retail releases:

Surgeon Simluator - http://www.toysrus.com/product/inde...2.2255974.22197866.22320536&parentPage=family

Switch Galaxy Ultra + 2 DLC Packs - http://www.toysrus.com/product/inde...2.2255974.22197866.22320536&parentPage=family

Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops + 5 DLC Packs Worth $40 - http://www.toysrus.com/product/inde...2.2255974.22197866.22320536&parentPage=family

All are $20 each.

I think Play It is a System3 publishing brand - http://www.system3.com/play-it-superbly-playable-games-on-the-ps4/

Woah, this will make a huge dent in Christmas sales! Some analysts will need to adjust their projections after this bombshell announcement.
 
I have the Wii one (Pro Bowling Circuit) and it was really disappointing for a sim game. First of all, if there isn't any PBA licensing, the pin action needs to at least feel good, and it really didn't feel as good as I'd hoped. I thought that the motion control was a wasted thing, too, and the arm swing being behind YOUR arm swing was unfulfilling. I'm still trying to get into it, but it feels so clunky.

Also, if Brunswick isn't going to license PBA bowlers, could they at least get the ladies of P-League up in this thing so I can bowl against Hiromi Matsunaga and Mayumi Yoshida and stuff? Seriously, I am pining for a great bowling game. Pining.
