Hover: Revolt of Gamers in the works for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Within the past few days, news has surfaced that Fusty Game intends to bring Hover: Revolt of Gamers to Wii U. It’s a free-runner set in an impressive-looking futuristic open world.
In the game, you’ll play as a “Gamer Team” from another world while trying to locate and infiltrate control centers of the anti-video games propaganda, free citizens confined by the authorities, retrieve consoles confiscated from the population, and dethrone the new mayor who has enacted a dictatorship.
We recently caught up with Fusty Game to learn more about Hover: Revolt of Gamers, and were presented with a few words from developer Marine Baron.
When asked about bringing Hover to Nintendo’s console, Baron said that the team of three at Fusty Game “really like[s] the Wii U and we want to support it.” Contact hasn’t been made with Nintendo just yet.
For those wondering, Fusty Game does intend to take advantage of the Wii U controller. Baron said the device is “interesting for our game” and the team has “some ideas on how to use the GamePad.”
And some good news for Wii U owners: Hover will come with the same features on Nintendo’s platform as the other versions – PC, PS4, and Xbox One – including a multiplayer mode that allows players to cooperate with others in missions and experience configurable versus events.
Hover: Revolt of Gamers looks good. Pretty darn good, especially for such a small team. How is Fusty mangaging to produce this kind of project? “Our secret is many working hours (80 hours/week) and to be ambitious,” Baron told us. “There is no magic.”
Development on Hover: Revolt of Gamers is only just beginning, so there’s sadly no word yet on when the game will be available. We’re told that a Kickstarter campaign will launch soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

First, new previews for Mario Golf: World Tour will begin rolling in tomorrow. Coverage for Mario Kart 8 is expected in a big way next week. Expect tons of posts about each!
