A little while ago we reported on some details for Quest of Dungeons, a rather interesting turn-based dungeon crawler that uses procedural generation. It has a neat retro look, and it was confirmed some time ago that $8.99 will get you both the Wii U and 3DS versions courtesy of cross-buy.
In that article it had a release date of 1st September, but it's now confirmed for 29th September on Wii U; that's for both North America and Europe, with the release evidently needing a little longer to get approval and a scheduled date. The 3DS version doesn't have a firm date yet, "but it's close", with some final issues being sorted out.
The Wii U version will have off-TV play on the GamePad or the option to use the extra screen for a mini-map and inventory; it also has Pro Controller support, which is not something we take for granted with eShop titles. A Wii U version trailer is below.
Is this one you're tempted to pick up at the end of September, especially with that cross-buy support? Let us know in the comments.

You gotta like that opening. I hate when you see a video of a game for like 60 seconds and sometimes maybe 5 seconds is gameplay if that. Sometimes there's none! Just look at the Dragon Ball one shown today.
I don't really see the point of cross-buy for games like this unless you can transfer your progress back and forth between the two... otherwise you'd only play it on one of the two systems and the other would go unused... it just seems to be a clever marketing approach.
This looks great--I hadn't heard about it until now but I'm glad I looked into it. I like the top-down view and turn-based combat. Looks affordable and fun.
Looks very generic, and the lack of animations is kind of a turn off as well. Probably not for me.
Looks like a mix of Gauntlet, Zelda and a turn based RPG. I'm interested.
YES PLEASE THANK YOU
So is this a roguelike after all? I thought it was, but the descriptions seem to suggest it's something different. If it does happen to be just a straight roguelike, I could probably stomach the awful circa-2006 webcomic humor and give it a chance.
Like the sprite work.
It's got personality - but the gameplay doesn't.
i just want multiplayer before i think about it
Other than the lack of a damage animation (which bugs me) this looks pretty good.
@DragonEleven Now we can see you are a very lonely person. I you own both versions of the game, you may play it on 3DS, and your brother/friend/son can play it on the WiiU.
That looks kinda fun in a bite-sized way.
I'll consider it if the reviews are good
"Procedural generation"
And I liked the pixel work a lot too... :<
so much hell no
