Black Forest Games' Wii U port of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (http://www.joystiq.com/game/giana-sisters-twisted-dreams) twirls into Europe and Australia's eShops on August 22, but remains date-less in North America for now. The German studio told us it was bringing the sororal platformer to Wii U this month (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/22/giana-sisters-twisted-dreams-envisions-itself-on-wii-u-next-mon/), but this week's announcement notes US andAPAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-Pacific) dates are as yet unconfirmed. We've reached out to Black Forest Games for more info.
Those who like their platforming semi-portable will be pleased to know the Wii U version supports off-TV play, as well as featuring a new easy mode – don't be fooled by the cutesy look, Twisted Dreams can be a tricksy hobbit when it wants, even on Normal mode.
Meanwhile, the game's Steam version is getting new DLC in September. The punfully titled 'Rise of the Owlverlord' includes seven levels, new music, and an owl commander boss to take down, all of which sounds like a hoot. It comes to Steam in September, priced $4.99, a DRM-free version due sometime after.
If you're wondering, Black Forest Games hasn't forgotten the game's Kickstarter roots. Backers who pledged $25 towards the Giana Kickstarter get the Owlverlord DLC for free, as do those who put $15 towards Ravensdalefundraiser, despite the extreme likelihood it won't achieve its goal (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/13/ravensdale-wont-die-if-kickstarter-fails-will-take-a-while-to/).
