I know that most of the Wii U users are really sad and mad about the fact that “Star Fox Zero” has been pushed to Q1 2016 (the same thing goes for The Legend of Zelda, and Pokkén Tournament won´t be out until next year either). However, I may have some news that “might” make you feel a little bit better at least. Because Sarepta studio (they are based in Norway) has just announced that they will release their local co-op adventure game “Shadow Puppeteer” for the Wii U! And that´s great news for anyone who loves adventure games (and owns a Wii U of course).

More so, since “Shadow Puppeteer” has received quite a lot of positive reviews and feedback from players via Steam (got released on Steam back in September last year), the game even won the 2015 Indie Prize Director’s Choice Award as well. So if you like the sound of that, then keep an eye open for the Wii U version of “Shadow Puppeteer”! Another thing, if you just happen to be at the EGX 2015 event. Then don´t forget to visit Sarepta studio´s “Shadow Puppeteer” booth =)
