Nintendo is scrambling to catch-up to the PS4 and Xbox One heading into E3, both in terms of raw unit sales and brand cachet.

The company today announced a Pushmo World Wii U game is nearing the end of its development and will be available in the eShop June 19.

Stealth Inc. 2 for Wii U to Release Holiday 2014
The original Stealth Inc., also known as "Stealth Bastard" on PC, has been downloaded more than 1 million times. So hearing Stealth Inc. 2 for Wii U will ship in Q4 is intriguing. The action-adventure game's sequel doesn't classify as an "indie game," exactly, but it's certainly not the major-release that a Nintendo console would often get during the holiday shopping season. The original game introduced players to the trap, laser and death filled test chambers of the nefarious PTi industries, charging them with … [Read more...]
