Update: Here’s the official word from tinyBuild:

tinyBuild is bringing No Time to Explain to Wii U. That’s according to a classification listing coming from PEGI.

No Time to Explain, a platform game, started off in 2011 as a browser release. It’s been put out on several systems since then, and it looks like Wii U will be joining in on the fun as well.

Here’s a brief overview of No Time To Explain:

“No Time To Explain is a game about shooting the ground, putting on weight and setting your body on fire. Blast yourself through time and alternate realities to rescue your future-self from a giant crab sent by your evil time-twin from another dimension! Add up to 3 friends to join during the adventure.”

For a better look at the game, view the 2013 Steam trailer below.

– Nintendo will in 2016 release “details” on the NX
– Kimishima claims the expansion to smartphones and theme parks, but also to movies and TV anime (via character licensing) is progressing
– Believes it’s vital for Nintendo to experiment with new business models
– First smartphone app reconfirmed for launch in March
– Smartphone apps with Nintendo’s famous characters promised for 2016
– He wants to bring the company’s financials to a new level
– The plan is to bring profits to 100 billion yen ($855 million) in “several years”
– This would be 4 times of last year’s profit
