the 2D platformer from independent developer GalaxyTrail is facing some bug. Stevie DiDuro explained that:     

"As luck would have it, a serious bug in the Wii U version of Freedom Planet was found today that causes Wii U consoles to freeze, requiring a hard reset of the system. This bug only occurs in retail versions of the console, so neither Nintendo nor MP2 experienced the issue and we were only made aware of it by members of the press who tried the game over the past couple days.     

We cannot allow the game to launch in a state that would potentially cause damage to Wii U consoles or make players think there is something wrong with their console, so we are delaying again until the issue is fixed. No one is more disappointed at this than me, but we have to do what we have to do."

Thanks to this bug, the Wii U version of Freedom Planet has now been delayed till Aug 20. This isn’t the first time that Freedom Planet has been delayed as on July 28, Stevie DiDuro announced on Twitter that the games was being delayed “due to underestimating development time.”

Still no info on whether Sega will sue this developer.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

A broken game that breaks your Wii U.

Dammit. My E3 discount better still apply



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

Can't wait to play a good Sonic game

would still play the preview version. hope they'll fix it and no glitches afterwards.



Get it working GalaxyTrail and I'll buy it. I like what I'm seeing.



The Steam reviews are pretty mad, I might actually get this one. Anyone know if it's coming to Vita too?

LOL, this.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Good on them for not releasing it in its current state :)
