Spring is a wonderful time full of now beginnings and new life as the dead outdoors begins to regain its color. This poses a problem to the gaming industry as gamers are encouraged to leave their games and enjoy real life experiences. Gaming Companies combat this natural process in many ways, including the consumers favorite method: sales. Well, Trine 2 has come upon an amazing sale. That’s right, for the rest of April on the Wii U eShop you can pick up the amazing 3-player title uniting all walks of life for the low, low price of $9.99, which is a full $10.00 off of the original price. -Ryan Baxter

Trine 2 has been a long loved digital title, stored in the safety of our systems. However, there is a strong side to the gaming world that is overlooked by these simple, cheap copies of games: physical copies. While this may seem an obvious statement at first, take a moment to think about the meaning of this statement. You can’t hold these digital copies. They’re not something you can have, stack up on a shelf, or flash to your friend at school or work to inspire jealousy. What you have is the game in its simplest form, the gameplay. There is so much that you get from going out and picking up the title, handing over hard earned cash and getting back a piece of plastic that you know is full of wonders, and that final anxiety of having a game but not being able to play it for the seemingly infinite ride home. Well, Trine 2 could be arriving to this emotional existence in the coming months. It’s currently a $19.99 eShop download-only title on the Wii U, but there has been talk by developers about bringing the title into the world of physical games. However, there are a few obstacles the developer, Frozenbyte, has to face before making this leap. The greatest obstacle is the acquiring of a publishing partner, someone to finance the creation of the physical discs. This step is expected to be quite lengthy.

You might remember Trine 2: Director’s Cut from last June’s E3 2012 expo.  This high fantasy puzzle solver is said by the creator to be 27% more awesome than the original Trine 2 (recently released for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360), and is a Wii U exclusive download slated for a release on the Wii U eShop at the system’s launch later this year.  In the August issue of Nintendo Power, the NP crew gave us a closer look at what we’ll get our impatient hands on later this year.  Stay tuned for scans and more tomorrow. -Greg Boe (admin)
