What is it?: Ballpoint Universe: Infinite is a mixture of platformer and shoot-’em-up that features an art style that looks like it was the result of doodles during a boring high school class. Check out our preview for more details.

What is the developer saying?: “We had some technical issues with our submission, so we had to delay. The game is currently in the lot-check testing process, but we hope to be able to release in the first half of May.” Leo Dasso, Arachnid Games

What is it?: Armillo is, according to the developer, “Sonic meets Mario Galaxy meets Marble Madness meets Super Monkey Ball.” Essentially, it’s a frenetic character-based platformer that relies on momentum like Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball. Check out our preview for more details.

What is the developer saying?: “We were ready to submit our game to Nintendo to try to reach our original March 24 release date. A bit over a week before that, we sent Emily Rogers a copy of our full game. She played through it and gave us a good number of recommendations if we wanted to make the game as good as possible and also suggested that we delay the game for a bit over a month to make sure that the game is as good as it can be, and we agreed.

So in the past month, she worked closely with us, constantly giving us feedback on areas to improve. On top of that, we've also got an experienced artist to join us and revamped a lot of our visuals - props, HUD, lighting, etc. to make our game look even better. Plus we got our QA team to focus on helping us improve the controls of the 2D platformer, and also identify any game flow issues and bugs.

We've just submitted our second precheck build yesterday, so we're on track towards releasing our game on or around May 12.” James Saito, Fuzzy Wuzzy Games

What is it?: Nihilumbra is a methodical puzzle platformer where you move your character around while using elemental powers by drawing on the touch screen. Check out our preview for more details.

What is the developer saying?: “Sadly we found technical issues in the process that go beyond our control that are delaying the release. We're working hand in hand with Unity and Nintendo staff for several months now in order to document and polish the porting process, so it will be much smoother for further Wii U developers who also will release their Unity-based titles. We'll try to solve this as soon as possible, so we can release what we think is the best version of Nihilumbra so far.” Jesús Fabre, PR & Community Manager
