One could argue that Trine 2: Director’s Cut is among the best games of Wii U’s launch lineup. That begs the question: could we ever see the first Trine on the console?
The short answer is no. Frozenbyte vice president Joel Kinnunen recently said that bringing the first Trine to Wii U “would be quite a bit of work” because the game “is based on our older technology”. Kinnunen wouldn’t rule out the possibility completely, but don’t count on a port/remake happening anytime soon.
“…it’s unlikely. Trine 1 is based on our older technology, so something like this would be quite a bit of work. Who knows what happens in the future but we’re not working on any Trine 1 related things at the moment, and have no plans either. Sorry!”
