Nintendo Australia today confirmed that Art Academy: Atelier will be available on Wii U from July.
In the game, “the Wii U GamePad transforms into an artist’s canvas full of possibilities,” Nintendo said via press release. “The latest instalment in the popular educational software series offers 30 comprehensive lessons under the tutelage of a friendly master named Vince who takes you by the hand and offers information on concepts, theory and techniques. Artworks can be created from a wide variety of materials and tools, including charcoal for the first time in the series.
“The user can import and export images using an SD card, share their works via Miiverse, display them in a virtual in-game gallery and, in another first for the Art Academy series, upload time-lapse videos of their works being created to YouTube.”
Moreover, those who’ve already purchased Art Academy: SketchPad from the Nintendo eShop “can upgrade to Art Academy: Atelier for a reduced price if they purchase it from Nintendo eShop,” Nintendo confirmed. The game retails for $49.95 AUD or $69.96 NZD at full price, or $44.75 AUD or $53.15 NZD with the discount.
Expect Art Academy: Atelier from 4 July.
