It was previously announced that Freedom Planet would be coming to Wii U on August 3. However, the game’s release has since been delayed.
Developer Stephen DiDuro announced on Twitter that Freedom Planet will now be on Wii U sometime after RTX. He wrote:
Freedom Planet's Wii U release is being delayed until after RTX due to underestimating development time. More details coming soon.

RTX runs between August 7 and August 9. Freedom Planet should be heading to the eShop soon after – hopefully not too long!

Mekazoo’s local co-op multiplayer debuting at PAX Prime
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Good Mood Creators announced a new mode for its 2D platformer Mekazoo today. The game will feature local cooperative multiplayer, the studio has revealed. This mode will debut at PAX Prime 2015.
Here’s how it works:
In Mekazoo, the stylish mekanimals challenge levels in pairs as a tag team, seamlessly switching between each other at the touch of a button. In cooperative multiplayer, each player controls a single mekanimal, the inactive player controlling only the “switch” button to transform to their animal, creating dynamic moments of teamwork and cooperation.
Overcoming certain obstacles requires the ability specific to one character in the duo, so in order to advance through each level players must alternate between the two characters. Oftentimes players will need to quickly switch back and forth between both mekanimals to progress, making proper timing essential when tagging characters in and out.
There are a total of five mekanimals in Mekazoo: the armadillo, frog, wallaby, panda, and high-flying pelican.
Mekazoo will be available on Wii U in Q1 2016. View some screenshots below.

Dreii hitting the Wii U eShop this fall
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Etter Studio and Bitforge are releasing Dreii on a number of platforms this fall, including Wii U.
At its core, Dreii is a puzzle title. Players become “secretly connected” to others experiencing the game, and must work together to create a tower.
Dreii works across all devices. That means, technically, a Wii U owner could end up playing with a PlayStation 4 user.
Take a look at some screenshots from Dreii below.
