8. STARWHAL (Wii U)
Estimated Release Date: Early 2015
Ever since I heard about STARWHAL during last year’s E3, I knew I had to have it. After all, who could resist a game where you compete in a narwhal deathmatch in space? Sure, the game sounds ridiculous, but the gameplay’s hectic nature looks like tons of fun and reminds me why local multiplayer games are so great. While flopping around each map, you must achieve balance and stab your opponents in the heart to destroy them. This makes the game easy to learn but hard to master, making it accessible to all kinds of players.
I’m hoping for A Hat in Time on Wii U in 2015.
Since there’s no release date yet it’s a bit of a long shot, I’ll admit. But they’ve stopped just short of announcing it for Wii U so I have faith.
If the developer confirmed that it was coming to Wii U this year, it would have definitely made this list. I wish we could hear more about the game’s release!
Great list! Some were expecting, some forgotten, and a few were completely new to me. Definitely some games worth looking forward to though.
Thanks for putting this list together! I have a hard time keeping track of these games, and so many of these are definitely worth looking forward to.
Thanks! That’s why I put the list together in the first place. Nintendo has great indie support and I’m happy to help promote these games.
Affordable Space Adventures – how could I have forgotten about this game? It looks great, and should be out this year.
Good choice! That’s also another one I wanted to put on the list that I didn’t have room for, along with Hex Heroes, Elliot Quest, and Adventures of Pip. Even then, I’m sure I’m missing a few that I’ve been excited for!
Haha it was really hard to condense this list just to ten games.
