Kerbal Space Program was officially revealed for Wii U during Nindies@Night earlier today. While the game isn’t exclusive to the platform, Nintendo believes that the eShop release will be the definitive version.

Nintendo’s Damon Baker told Game Informer:

“We feel we have the definitive version on Wii U because of our interface. You’ll be able to utilize the touchscreen and the GamePad in a number of different ways from actually building the spacecraft and navigating the spacecraft and even getting different perspectives. You’ll be able to fly the spacecraft from the cockpit utilizing the GamePad as a different viewpoint.”
