Monkey Pirates will have a “special mode” on Wii U

Monkey Pirates was one of several games confirmed for the Wii U eShop during the latest European Nintendo Direct. And it makes sense for it to be there – Henchmen Studio programmer Christophe Siccardi says it’s “in the spirit of a Nintendo game.”

Originally, Monkey Pirates wasn’t scheduled for any console – it was only planned for PC, Mac, and Linux. Siccardi explained to BeefJack that the team decided to take on systems such as Wii U late in development: “We contacted Nintendo near the end of production, as well as Sony and Microsoft.”

Nintendo fans can look forward to a “special mode” that utilizes the GamePad. Specific details on the feature are unknown at this time.
