Limited Run Games preparing its first and only Wii U release

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Limited Run Games has been offering physical versions of Switch games for the past several months. But for a one-time release, the company is going back to the previous generation of Nintendo hardware.

Limited Run’s Josh Fairhurst has teased a Wii U game, though hasn’t indicated what it will be. Unfortunately, it sounds like securing the release wasn’t easy as it took a year as well as lost money. Fairhurst also doesn’t anticipate Limited Run making a profit.

Fairhurst wrote on Twitter:

After a year of struggle and *a lot* of lost money, our only Wii U release will arrive at our office this month. We won't make anything on it (or even come close to breaking even), but at least it'll actually see the light of day.

The Art of Super Mario Odyssey is once again treating us to an interesting behind the scenes look at the Switch game. Coming from the newly-released book, we’re able to see scrapped costume designs.

It’s clear that Nintendo brainstormed all sorts of ideas during the development process. We’re able to see one costume that looks like it could have been pulled out of a classic cartoon, a maid outfit, and so much more.

We’ve rounded up the various images showing scrapped costume ideas in Super Mario Odyssey below.
