Buddy & Me, a 2D platformer featuring Metroid Prime developer Jason Behr as creative director, started out as a Kickstarter project back in 2013. It launched on mobile platforms a little bit later, and has been ported to a number of mobile platforms over the past couple of years.
Buddy & Me now appears to be setting its sights on Wii U. On Kickstarter, the team teased the following:
“So what’s next?
With all the effort put into transitioning into Unity, we’re anxious to take advantage of Unity’s cross-platform support. While we don’t quite have the budget to retroactively update all our old platforms’ builds, we do still want to do something very special. In next week’s update, I’ll share about what we’re working on now, plus some hints about other future project ideas.
I hate to tease, but, I wonder what’s in the box Buddy got for the holidays? Hint: Wii haven’t forgotten our promises.”
For Buddy & Me’s Kickstarter, a Wii U version was actually a stretch goal. It fell around $13,000 shy of that target, though it now seems as though an eShop release could be happening.
