Indivisible, a new RPG from Lab Zero, has been making big waves as of late. The project just secured funding over on Indiegogo having raised $1.6 million.
We unfortunately won’t be seeing Indivisible on Wii U, but it could end up on another system. The game’s Twitter account has said that an NX version will be considered when more information about it has been shared by Nintendo.
Here’s the tweet:
@sokoTV Wii U is not technically possible, but we’ll consider an NX version when we know anything about the system.

WayForward – Shantae: Half-Genie Hero DLC possible, would love to see the character in Smash
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 11 Comments
Although the Kickstarter for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero met its goal and the campaign went well, some content included in stretch goals (such as more chapters) wasn’t funded. Might we see this in the form of DLC? Developer WayForward isn’t ruling out the possibility.
In an interview with The Mary Sue, the studio’s Matt Bozon stated:
“If we sold a lot of copies, and there was a lot of clamor for more DLC, that’s a possibility. The game lends itself to a lot of expansion if that’s what fans want! There will already be a ton of content with all of the stretch goal that were reached… costumes, extra characters, and Risky Boots Mode! There’s a ton of game there, but there’s always room for more!”
And of course, the interview wouldn’t be complete without a question about Smash Bros. and the chances of Shantae appearing. Here’s what Bozon had to say on that front:
“I’m really excited about Shantae being a possibility for Smash! How cool would that be? Amazing, right? I think stylistically she’d be a good fit, being something that exists somewhere between Mega Man and Peach. I’d hope she could recover in Harpy form, or maybe pull off some incredible dance and transformation for her Final Smash! I would love to see this happen, and if not now, then some time in the future!”
