Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams due next month on Wii U

UPDATE: Priced and dated for next week.

UPDATE: The Wii U port of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is now set for a 22nd August release in Europe and Australia, developer Black Forest Games has announced.

It will cost €14.99 and include a new Easy mode as well as support off-TV play on the Gamepad.

Elsewhere, Black Forests' Kickstarter campaign for Ravensdale is lagging far behind its $500K goal with only $60,706 raised and three days to go before the 16th August deadline. A shame as that's how Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams found success.

Original Story: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is on track to be released on the Wii U's eShop next month, developer Black Forest Games has announced.

The developer told Joystiq that it's submitted a build to Nintendo and is awaiting feedback. Assuming all goes as planned, it will arrive on the Wii U eShop in August.

The reboot of the once Mario-clone franchise was well received upon its PC release last autumn, and it later came to XBLA in March and PSN in June.

Black Forest is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for its next project, a totally metal "garage punk" side-scrolling shooter/platformer entitled Ravensdale. Sadly, Ravensdale's Kickstarter is fighting an uphill battle with only $34,439 of its $500K goal funded with 25 days to go before its 16th August deadline.
