Scram Kitty and His Buddy heading to Wii U eShop in April
Earlier this week, the wall-scrolling blaster Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails was assigned a March release on the Wii U eShop. However, NintendoLife's exchange with developer Dakko Dakko suggests the platformer isn't due for North America or Europe until April. The above trailer's description on YouTube reflects the April time window as well. Neither an exact date or price have been announced yet, but considering Scram Kitty was initially shown in an eShop indie sizzle reel in November, just having the release month is a start. April would be a good choice, too - after Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in February and Watch Dogs sometime this spring, the Wii U's next big release, Mario Kart 8, isn't due until May.

Nintendo has laid out its 2014 indie eShop lineup for the next few months: Mutant Mudds developer Renegade Kid has two games up for 3DS, Moon Chronicles in March and Treasurenauts in May. Wayforward's Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is due out in Q1, and Mojo Bones' side-scrolling bouncer, Siesta Fiesta, is due out in March, both for 3DS. Wii U's "Japan steam rock" platformer, Wooden Sen'Sey, is targeting a February launch, while Nicalis' 1,001 Spikes is due out in Q1 for both Wii U and 3DS. Nihilumbra, Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails and Squids Odyssey should land in March for Wii U. Teslagrad is aiming for March or April, and QUBE Director's Cut should launch in April, each for Wii U. For those who want to get their indie gaming on right now, the eShop's two-week Super Indie Connection Sale is live, offering a handful of games for 60 percent off, if you already own one of the games in the sale or if you buy one at full price. Sale games include Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Spin the Bottle, Toki Tori 2 and Mighty Switch Force. As a friendly reminder, Retro City Rampage DX is due out on February 6 for the 3DS eShop, and Shovel Knight hits Wii U and 3DS (and Steam) on March 31. [Image: Toxic Games]
