Poncho is making its way to Wii U, courtesy of Delve Interactive and Rising Star Games. A trailer can be found above.

Originally announced last year, Poncho is a new open-world, 2D platformer. Here’s an official overview:

Humanity has been extinct for centuries, leaving their robotic creations behind to fend for themselves. These robots have formed tribes and communities of their own, trying to make a way of life without purpose now their masters are gone.

On your journey, you will have to make some hard choices and ultimately decide the fate of humankind. With multiple areas and paths to explore, you’ll never be able to see everything in a single play through. Poncho is about making you feel like a kid again, exploring outside and looking under rocks to see what you find. There’s treasure in every nook and cranny in this world, and nothing is quite as it seems… There’s always more than one way to accomplish your goals.

Frozenbyte has announced a special discount for Trine Enchanted Edition. If you’ve purchased Trine 2: Director’s Cut on Wii U, Enchanted Edition will be available for 20 percent off.

This works the other way around as well. If you end up picking up Trine Enchanted Edition but have not yet bought Trine 2: Director’s Cut, that title will be discounted by 20 percent as well.

Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen said:

“We’re extremely happy and excited to finally bring the origin story of the Trine series to Wii U. We’ve had a great reception with Trine 2: Director’s Cut ever since the launch of the console. To reward our loyal fans on Wii U, we came up with the Trine Series Fan Discount, a promotion that hopefully makes up for the delays we’ve had with the release!”

Trine Enchanted Edition launches this Thursday in North America. The game is “likely” to arrive sometime this month in Europe.
