Die Indie-Entwickler von WaterMelon haben bestätigt, dass der Wii U eShop Titel Pier Solar HD verschoben wurde. Laut den Entwicklern hat Microsoft den Titel nicht für die Xbox 360 sowie Xbox One zertifiziert, bis man diese Probleme nicht aus der Welt geschaffen hat, will man auch bei der Wii U sowie PlayStation-Version nachbessern.

“We’re starting the submission process for PSHD. Valve already approved it for release on Steam so that’s done and done. We may contact some of you who subscribed to beta test to test the game on Steam using a beta key. Stay tuned. Microsoft already evaluated Pier Solar as well but we failed some internal requirements on the certification and we’re correcting them for the next submission. This also impacts Wii U and PlayStation(s) submissions since we want to send it as clean as possible so that we don’t get another failed certification. Luckily, the process doesn’t take as long as we thought, so the perspectives to getting a release date gets better. As soon as we’re certified on all platforms we’ll announce the date and put it on the street. “

Pier Solar HD soll neben der Möglichkeit auf eine hübschere Optik zu wechseln, auch weiter neue Inhalte im Vergleich zur Genesis Version des Titels bieten. Unter anderem will man an der Story nachgebessert haben und darüber hinaus auch neue Schauplätze umgesetzt haben. Neue Nebenaufgaben und ein neues Ende sind auch mit dabei.

Pier Solar HD added 16 pages of text to the original story. But what does that translate into?
– There are new places to explore, with new bosses and new chests to open.
– Some loose ends got tied. Why is Alina the only elf? Why are our heroes the chosen ones? Why Zelini and Alina don’t get along? Find out all about it on PSHD.
– New ending. In addition to the original Pier Solar ending, a new ending is possible. Maybe a secret ending too? What? Humm. 😉
– New sidequests. Why was that boss at the watermelon farm so rude to the characters on Pier Solar for MD/Genesis? Because he was grumpy that his sidequest was stripped out the game. But now he is happy, his sidequest is back with a vengea… I mean, great reward at the end. How about another sidequest that could possibly trigger a secret ending? Huh? What? Err… Ha!
