Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Retro City Rampage DX is out of the question for Wii U. However, that doesn’t mean Vblank Entertainment isn’t interested in Nintendo’s console.
Vblank confirmed on Twitter that the company has had a dev kit since 2012. Additionally, the developer “will definitely consider bringing future games to the platform”.
Vblank wrote on Twitter a few moments ago:
For those wondering: I bought a Wii U devkit in 2012 and will definitely consider bringing future games to the platform, just not RCR/DX.
