Mobot Studios also planning a “super polished 3D mini platformer” for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Mobot Studios revealed the mini action-platformer “Super Kid Ninja” for iOS today. We asked the developer if a Wii U version is in store as well.
Mobot said in response:
@NinEverything I don't want to get hated off the eShop. We have something else coming very soon for Wii U. Super Polished 3D mini platformer
— Fletcher (@MobotStudios) February 12, 2015
So it seems that Wii U isn’t getting Super Kid Ninja, but we’ll be seeing this interesting 3D mini platformer instead. That works for me!
