  • Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (Curve Studios, €13.99 / £12.99) – the Wii U exclusive sequel to a game originally absent from Nintendo systems, Curve Studios’ 2D platfomer is centered around the concept of stealth movements. You control a goggle-wearing clone, making your way through levels by hiding in shadows in order to avoid being spotted and suffering from a case of instant death.
  • Cosmophony (Moving Player, €3.99 / £3.59) – an interesting title dubbed as a musical rail shooter. With music integral to gameplay, this is a colorful and action-packed game.
  • Falling Skies: The Game (Little Orbit, €39.99/ £34.99) – based on the sci-fi television show, this retail release is eShop-only and is dubbed as a tactical strategy RPG in which you’ll be tasked with resisting an invading alien force.
  • Tetrobot & Co. (Neko Entertainment, €9.99 / £7.49) – coming from mobile platforms to the Wii U, this puzzler sees you guiding a microscopic robot named Psychobot, tasked with repairing Tetrobot’s cogs and circuits by exploring and absorbing parts of the environment. It supports a variety of control schemes, and looks promising.

Wii U Virtual Console

  • Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble (Nintendo, €7.99 / £5.49) – the third and final SNES entry in the series was released in late 1996 and features Dixie and her cousin Kiddy. The two pair up through 48 levels of barrel-blasting platforming to rescue DK and Diddy from the Kremlings. And collect bananas along the way. This is the US version of the game.
  • Devil World (Nintendo, €4.99 / £3.49) – an early Shigeru Miyamoto title coming all the way from 1987 on the NES. This is an arcade-style action game with a strong resemblance to Pac-Man – you play as Tamagon, a green dragon who decides to attack Devil’s World by navigating a series of mazes and using crosses to power up, breathing fire and eating the dots in the maze.
