This video for Trine 2: Director's Cut shows the graphics for the Wii U game before and after its January update. The update also added Pro Controller support and online multiplayer voice chat.

Since the game was updated, the graphics have to be substantially better, right? You tell us.

The mini-game mode was planned for the Director's Cut version of the game, which Frozenbyte said is the best version it can make.

"The idea was to have small mini games that would really make use of the Wii U Gamepad," the developer said. "In the end we had a lot of work with bringing the DLC up to the level of quality that we intended, so scrapping the Magic Mayhem for the launch window made sense."

As for the company's plans for another game in the series, a third game was said to be a "no brainer." Still, the developer doesn't want it to "feel like Trine 2.5, but rather a large leap and something even more awe inspiring."

"We will be moving on to other IP as we feel this is the best way for us to grow as a company. 2013 will be quite a year for us and we aim to please with some cool announcements," Frozenbyte said.

According to the banner on the eShop front page, Trine 2 is $15.99 (normally $19.99) until January 7, Little Inferno is $9.99 until January 4, down from $14.99, and Chasing Aurora is $7.49, half off until January 3. These prices are for North America; a similar deal applies in Europe, with the addition of Puddle.

Given the extreme rarity of sale prices for WiiWare, it's a great comfort to see an eShop promotion so soon after the Wii U's launch.
