Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: It’s official: if Shaq Fu hits its goal, the game will head to consoles, including Wii U. 3DS support appears to have been dropped.
Original:
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn could end up receiving full console support for its Indiegogo campaign.
If this is something the team pursues, the game would head to Wii U, 3DS, and other platforms assuming the main goal is met. This would mean that no additional funds/stretch goals would be involved.
