    I'm a big fan of the Shantae games, and the latest is out on Tuesday (after a Kickstarter campaign and years of development). It'll probably be too easy and a bit short, but it looks like a lot of fun. The artists have done a great job - the visuals are in HD and the sprite work is fantastic.

    Out on Tuesday on Steam, PS4, Vita, Wii U and Xbox One.

    That actually looks pretty cool, any idea on pricing? Might pick it up for my missus on Wii U, looks like something she'd love and I'd enjoy watching her play. Ori and the Blind Forest was too tough for her -_-

    It's actually out tomorrow for the Wii U (like the other versions) and it's €16.99 on that platform.

    Very end of the video says 20th for PS4 and PS Vita. But 27th for Wii U. Did they move the release forward? It would be nice to buy a 2nd Wii U game this year :o

    According the post about this week's releases in the Nintendo forum, S:HGH is out tomorrow on the Wii U (and that came from an official Nintendo press release as source)

    Played it up as far as the
    hot Mermaid boss
    . Great game and a bit more challenging than I expected (I saw the Game Over screen a few times).

    Well done Way Forward. :)

    Tip:
    Buy potions

    It was nice to see that there is a new playable character (with his/her own story) playable after you finish the game, with a 3rd character "coming soon". That turns a 6 hour game into an 18 hour one. :)

    This game is pretty hard (but reviews say it's easy). Maybe I'm just getting old. :o

    What size is the Game? I annoyingly only have a 8gb Wii U (Mario Kart and Splatoon DLC eating away at that)

    It seems to be a digital only game, no physical release yes?

    I think it was about 1.4gb on Steam? Not sure about physical releases...
