Ninja Pizza Girl still on track for Wii U eShop release and soon

We were a little worried that we hadn’t heard about the Wii U release of Aussie developed Ninja Pizza Girl for some time.

Our fears were put to rest this week though with Disparity Games giving an update on the Wii U version and it’s coming real soon.

In a new Kickstarter update, Jason Stark not only lets us know it’s coming soon but will be in fact live-tweeting the process as it enters Nintendo certification!

Hello WiiU people! Brace yourselves for FULL DISCLOSURE as we peek behind the curtain of game development. We have a working WiiU build. It’s great! It supports the pro controller, the wiimote (my favourite controller to play NPG on, it’s lovely and old-school and just feels great), the gamepad and it allows for easy swapping between the TV and gamepad screen. It’s very, very, very close to done but it still needs two more days of work before it’s ready to send to Nintendo.

The first chance we have to work on it for two days is this Saturday so we hope to be sending Ninja Pizza Girl to the wizards at Nintendo on Sunday. It then has to be rigorously checked by Nintendo, approved, and much, much paperwork filled in. I think Pikachu has to personally sign off on everything, I’m not too sure what goes on there really. When that’s all done we’ll have an official release date and can finally fill your lives with warm, wonderful Ninja Pizza Girl goodness.

We can’t say for sure how long this process will take but based on our experience with other platforms our best guess is about 30 days. Starting from Saturday we’ll give you updates for each step of this process so you can see exactly what’s happening and share the last trek of this very long road with us.

We can’t wait to play the game on the Wii U, it’s great to see Aussie games on the Wii U eShop!
