I wonder how Unepic and Knytt Underground have done so far. I have Unepic and I'm enjoying it so far. Still have to pick up Knytt but planning to.

I hope they are doing ok-ish
I've got Knytt and I have to admit that it's very "un-friendly", but I'm still loving its atmosphere. I was supposed to receive a review code for Unepic, but still nothing :p
I've also got Gyana Sisters due to the sales, and I have to admit that the OST is great.

Sorry for the DP, but some updates:

Tengami polish and submission:
Good news, we are close to submitting Tengami to the AppStore. As always later than expected and later than we promised. While we are very sorry for missing a 2013 release and not keeping our promise, we think it was the right decision for the game and ultimately for you, the player. The additional time has allowed us to add more content, more polish and as a result make a higher quality game. Truth be told we would like to work on Tengami for another year, as we have a lot more gameplay ideas we would like to see come to fruition and you can never ever polish a game enough anyways!

Astro Vault coming to Wii U by Notion Games:

ReVen by Varia Games founded:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/variagames/reven
First off, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us on KickStarter, shared our links with friends, and those of you who have written articles of our game, ReVeN. Words cannot express how thankful we are for all of the support.

This is an update for you all, letting you know that because of all the great support, ReVeN is now FUNDED on KickStarter! In just 12 days! Wow! We are ecstatic to be in this position and cannot wait to bring our fans further updates as the game continues in development!

The biggest fear that most of our fans have is that the game is just too similar to Metroid. To resolve this issue, we will be releasing a new gameplay video very soon that will introduce you to the EDM system and other very unique systems/story-line that massively differentiates our game from the Metroid series.

We would absolutely love for you to share our progress with your communities. Now that the game is funded, we have huge updates that will be revealed very soon!

Well, my game isn't listed, and it's likely out in late Feb or early March, so there are likely a lot of games not listed, like DROP BLOK U. Anyways, why don't you asked the devs of How to Survive when it's coming?

I think this post from earlier in the page would answer your question jmizzal. =)

Also, is there any chance we could get the OP updated with other nice pictures or something?

Edit: So, do you think it's worth it making a Wii U eShop recommendation thread? Or even add recommended titles here?

How to Survive is a game from 505 Games, a semi-big publisher. This event with indie highlights was for self-published titles. Maybe that's part of why it wasn't mentioned.

I asked the creator on Miiverse and was told Unepic was profitable after 2 weeks on the eShop.

That is awesome and hopefully can be shown as a test case for other indies to publish on eshop. I mean that's kind of a niche game and if the small wiiu user base can make it profitable then other games should be able to as well as long as they are quality games with reasonable budgets

@Aostia
Could you update some of the release dates and prices btw?

Child of Light = April 30th now and $15
Armillo = 3/24/2014
Shovel Knight = 3/31/2014

It might be cool to add some images for the eShop games. Maybe not as fancy as the ones you currently have, but having anything would be nice (I'm sure a Child of Light one would be gorgeous) =).

What's with these Monday dates for Armillo and Shovel Knight? Either these are just random targets or Nintendo is shifting eShop day from Thursday back to Monday? Child of Light's April 30th date is for XBLA/PSN, I believe since they update on Wednesdays (and April 30 is a Wedneday).

Great! Thanks.

I'd also personally separate out games with definite release dates over those that don't, but that's your call.

I was going to suggest this. I hadn't expected how many games would end up being included in the OP, and I'm a bit too lazy to spend that much time making the images. Sorry!

Hey, no problem! You helped us a lot in doing the topic!
Now, considering the amount of games, it's better to streamline the OP a little bit in any case! :p

can I just ask you if it's possible to create a couple of banners, similar to the existing "New releases" one?
It would be great to have:

Incoming

and

Pending

let me know!

I don't know when it happened but the eShop updated with lots of trailers for indie Wii U titles recently. I'm getting pretty damn excited for some of the games coming up, though the Nihilumbra trailer apparently decided to show me the whole game (it says it's a 1:20 trailer but when you watch it it's actually 4 minutes and looks like it shows damn near everything).

Still like Unepic even if it feels like an old school PC game to me.

Bought and played Unepic for like two minutes yesterday, and a couple of things annoyed me right off the bat:
  • The barrels, why in the hell do they take so many hits to break? Everyone's going to break every single one of them, why force me to hammer at it for fifteen seconds per barrel.
  • The dialog texts. There's no way to speed up the text or have it appear instantly. The choices are: listen to the speech or skip it entirely. I'd like to skip the voice but still read the text.
  • The UI. For instance, I played off-screen and the menu to equip stuff/assign to gamepad is tiny. Good luck hitting the right option with a finger, or even the stylus. And why do I need to go through the menu to equip in the first place: just give it a shortcut. Tiny menus are a problem elsewhere too, I had to start the game three times as I had trouble hitting the right difficulty setting, selected the wrong one and then had to go back and delete the character. A confirmation box would have helped.

Art of Balance coming to Wii U on 2/18. Has 5 player local play, 10 player online.

Also it seems like Ballpoint Universe now has a release date of Mar 18, 2014 on Nintendo's site.

Art of Balance needs to be added as the Shin'en Game

And Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey needs to be up there, that one has a better chance in coming then some of those other games since Nintendo themselves asked them to bring it to WiiU and gave them dev kits

Guys, just a warning before you buy Unepic on Wii U: I contacted the developer and he said the Wii U port would most likely not be getting the currently in-alpha multiplayer. This is on top of the fact that the Wii U version is more expensive than the PC one.

You have to use a heavy weapon to smash barrels in 1 hit. Same thing applies to other enemies, you need to have the proper weapon equipped. There are so many shortcuts to assign on the game pad that I'm not sure why you're having issues with that.

A World of Keflings missed it's 2013 release, but I really hope it still comes out! A Kingdom for Keflings was one of my favorite games at time.
