Retromade Games is bringing at least two games to the Wii U: Hell IX, a helicopter shooter and Fixie Joe, a run & jump experience.

Actually, there’s one catch with the former. Hell IX will need to reach its Kickstarter funding goal of $22,000 in order to begin production.

Hell IX and Fixie Joe titles appear to be just the start of Retromade’s support. CEO Jose A. Gallardo told Nintendo Life about a couple of new ideas – “one related to space conquest and combat and the other related to ancient Asian mythologies, a sort of MMO.”

Jett Rocket originally started out on Wii as a WiiWare title. In December 2011, developer Shin’en announced a sequel for the 3DS as an eShop release.

Yet even though Jett Rocket is making the transition from console to handheld, Shin’en isn’t opposed to bring Jett Rocket II to the Wii U eShop.

You may remember how, a few weeks ago, Shin’en published a tweet that seemed to ask fans about their feelings regarding an HD version. We followed up with the studio about the possibility of a Wii U port, and were told the following:

“We originally didn’t plan a Wii U version of JR2 but since we connected a 3DS devkit to a TV to capture some footage we realized the game would work great on the big screen. So if fans really ask for it we would be happy to go for it.”

So there you have it. Want Jett Rocket II on Wii U? Let Shin’en know!

He was also presented with a Wii U console along with copies of Just Dance 4, Rabbids Land, and Assassin’s Creed III as a gift.
