Atariboy Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Same game, but like I said, completely different publisher. Axiom Verge first appeared two years ago on the PS4 and various computers, published digitally by developer Thomas Happ Games (A single individual). Retail PC rights later were picked up by IndieBox and a limited edition retail version appeared in the Fall of 2015. Subsequently, Thomas Happ Games ported and digitally released Axiom Verge last year on the Vita, XB1, and Wii U. Fast forward to late March 2017 and publisher Badland Games announced that they had picked up the retail rights for Axiom Verge on the Wii U, PS4, and Vita and expected to release it in the next four months. We're three months into that period right now, so if their timetable still holds, we should be getting further details shortly although I suspect we're looking at a release later this summer now.

Atariboy Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Looks like August for Axiom Verge hitting retail. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-08-axiom-verge-is-coming-to-switch-this-august And the game will launch on the Switch that day as well, joining the previously announced retail releases for the Wii U/Vita/PS4.

Atariboy Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Forgot to mention that Cars 3 arrives next Tuesday. Edited June 9, 2017 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 As a Switch owner now, I'm actually kind of sad the game's coming to the Wii U in physical form. Do I buy it on the Switch, or Wii U due to the potential rarity of it in the future? Ahhhhh... But I want everything on the Switch now, that's the rub. First World Problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 They're saying that the Switch version comes with a soundtrack CD, and it might be a pre-order bonus on the WiiU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Just Dance 2018 has been announced for the Wii U (And the Wii). It will arrive on October 24th and perhaps will simultaneously conclude new releases across two generations of Nintendo console hardware. It's also on all the other usual suspects across the last two generations, as well as the Nintendo Switch. About the only system it's absent on is the 3DS and Vita, for obvious reasons. So with the arrival today of Cars 3, that leaves the Wii U with at least two more retail releases ahead.

Tempest Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 So there are STILL Wii games being released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 So, Wii U is now down to two releases: Just Dance 2018 Axiom Verge And on Wii: Just Dance 2018 ------ Side note. Just Dance 2018 on 3 generations of Nintendo home consoles? Is that a first? Has that happened with any other consoles like PlayStation or Sega or Xbox? Maybe Madden? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I feel reasonably confident that it has never happened on a Nintendo console. And for it to have happened on a Microsoft console, we'd of had to have an original Xbox release in 2013, which of course didn't happen. The PS1 seemed to be a possibility thanks to its long life, but faded just a bit too soon with sports titles drying up by 2005. So I initially didn't think it had ever happened with a simultaneous release across three generations, but then I found this. There may be others on these platforms, but I didn't dig further after finding this one. Of course this one is basically in name only, where as I imagine there's a lot more commonality with Just Dance across console generations.

onmode-ky Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 FIFA 14 had its 3-generation PlayStation release spread between September (PS2 and PS3) and November (PS4's launch), so it was closer to simultaneous than Just Dance 2017 was for Wii/Wii U/Switch, but still not quite there. This is based on Amazon.de/fr/co.uk release dates; the 3-generation release didn't happen in the US and Canada, where the PS2 edition was absent. It did release in at least some Latin American territories, but I would assume they had the same September-November spread, too. Thus, it seems like Just Dance 2018 really might be the first simultaneous 3-generation release in history. Wouldn't it be cool if it were cross-buy? onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Axiom Verge is still happening it appears. But apparently retailers like Wal-Mart don't want to stock it, so it will be distributed in a different way. https://twitter.com/AxiomVerge/status/888475228157890561 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also 2600/7800/XEGS Crossbow and Mario Bros. to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Tom Happ was asked why the Wii U version can't be preordered while the others now can be. He responded that the Wii U version "is coming through a different pathway since US retailers don't want to stock it". He hopes plans will be announced soon.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 You can preorder the multiverse version for the Wii-U from other counties, but I'm not sure they are region compatible with the US Wii-U system. Really want to play this game and would much rather have it in physical form for the Wii-U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Just Dance, there's Twilight Princess Gamecube -> Wii -> Wii-U, with some years between releases. Then again Super Mario All Stars got released on SNES (cart) and Wii (retail disc) completely skipping 3 generations so go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Great thread. Ordering darksiders warmastered and darksiders II just because I've never played either.

Andromeda Stardust Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We're talking simultaneous or close to simultaneous releases across multiple console generations. I'm aware of that. Can't deny the existence of ports and remakes though. Look how many Pacmans there are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking myself. I only found one place that had links for preorders, and for the US the only preorder options were for other formats not Wii U. However, Wii U was available for pre-order for other countries and regions... http://badlandindie.com/axiom-verge-multiverse-edition/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Well I did want to get Axiom Verge physical, but it looks like it's not coming out, and the digital version is only $10 right now: https://happyholidays.nintendo.com/cyber-deals/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 No it won't be the last game. I saw just dance 2018 at target (actual cd with case) not download for original WII. So WII U will definitely have more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
