Armikrog is tentatively scheduled to hit PC, Mac, and Linux in July. A Wii U version is also planned, but it’ll launch at a later date.
When exactly? At the moment, Pencil Test Studios seems to be targeting a fall release.
Producer Luis Gigliotti has also shared a few (vague) words about what Armikrog will offer on Wii U. The team will be implementing “some really cool” features “designed only for that version”.
I cannot say about the specifics [sic] but i can confirm that the WiiU version will have some really cool, WiiU specific features designed only for that version
Also worth mentioning, Gigliotti said the following when asked about a possible 3DS version:
We do want to eventually port the game over to portable consoles, mobile and tablets as well… But we want to make sure we get the PC, Mac, Linux [sic] and WiiU skus done first

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
“Sadness” is a game that should sound familiar to many Nintendo fans. Nibris announced the project as a Wii exclusive way back in 2006 before ultimately pulling the plug in 2010, which was accompanied by news of the studio’s closure.
In a bit of odd and unexpected news, HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games have announced plans to revive Sadness as a Wii U exclusive. The title is tentatively targeted for a 2016 release.
Here’s what you should know:
– Nibris struggled with development with their Gamebryo engine programmers at Frontline and their graphics partner Digital Amigos
– Will stick to the game’s original idea
– Could be some changes and there with regard to characters, mechanics, setting
– Will keep the Gothic noir visual style with a few exceptions
– Will likely be made in Unity
– Starting from scratch
– New elements will be introduced including RPG and puzzle-based mechanics
– There’s also a shift to 2D
– Cthulhi and HullBreach are working as equal partners on the project
– More news at “Indie Sanctum 2014” in October
You can find more quotes from HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games over at Nintendo Life.
