Pure Chess will be available to download in the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops on March 20 for the delightful price of £4.99 / €5.99 / $7.99 – you can check out the trailer for the game above.

Indie developer Ripstone Games has announced that Pure Chess will arrive on Wii U and 3DS next week. The strategic game was due to release last year for both platforms but hit a number of teething issues during further testing. The game developer has confirmed that the cross-platform feature is now fully working, which will allow users to play against their friends across the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, iPad, iPhone, iPod and Android devices.
Great to see this coming to Nintendo systems! :)
I actually like to play virtual chess. This is a good adition to the Wiiu library
Excellent, a must buy for a Commander like me to improve my battle strategies!
First off, this game looks really great witb smooth edges, lighting, reflections. I know it doesn’t require a lot of graphical prowess, but it looks great.
Secondly, I’ve always enjoyed chess. So this will be a nice addition to my robust indie collection on my Wii U.
Thirdly, the cross platform ability is so awesome! I hope more games in the future allow for this feature.
Fourthly, I hope there will be a good amount of things to acquire, such as different sets, boards, backgrounds, and colors.
Have a nice day everyone.
I have this for the PS3 and Vita. It is a beautiful game. I will definitely buy it for my 3DS. It should also be amazing on the Wii U.
Wow. For that price I may pick it up on both my Wii U and 3DS. Will pick it up on Wii U first though due to the premium digital promotion.
this is free on the app store why does it cost 8 bucks on another platform why cant it be free like the rest
I guess the ads pay for the game on mobile devices.
Stop being so damn cheap help developers out a Little. They need money to make games spend $7.99 for good looking game it’s worth it
For a good looking game
