Chasing Aurora demo now available in eShop
I haven't had a whole lot of reasons to keep firing up my Wii U just yet, but one of the games keeping my console in operation is Chasing Aurora. Now, you can download a demo of the local multiplayer chase game from the eShop and see why. The demo consists of the game's Freeze Tag mode for multiplayer, as well as four single-player challenges. In addition to the release of the demo, Chasing Aurora will be on sale for 50% off this week as well. So, if you like what you play, it won't cost much to get the full version either. Neat! This follows another update to the game last week, which added Wii U Pro Controller support, added new gameplay features intended for two-player games, and fixed some other issues. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
