Renegade Kid could bring Moon Chronicles to Wii U if the 3DS version is successful
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Moon Chronicles could eventually make its way to the Wii U, depending on how successful the 3DS version is.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham told NintendoWorldReport that the studio has considered the shooter for Nintendo’s hardware, but it “would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit”. The company would need to be able to “afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.”
Watsham’s comments in full:
Our thoughts have always been primarily on the 3DS version, but we have discussed a Wii U version. That is something that would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit so we could afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.

Nintendo said it would begin sending out the Luigi figurines in March. That month is now here, and the items are starting to ship. If you ordered one, you should be seeing it in your mailbox soon!
