Earlier this year, Rain Games revealed World to the West. It’s the newest project from the same team behind Teslagrad, and this one’s actually set in the same universe.

World to the West has players going on an adventure as they assume the role of four characters: “Lumina the Teslamancer, Knaus the orphan, Miss Teri the mind bender and the gloriously mustachioed strongman, Lord Clonington”. You’ll explore various environments such as jungles, tundras, and the mysteries of an ancient prophecy.

We weren’t sure at the time which platforms World to the West would be on, but Wii U is on the developer’s radar. In fact, Nintendo will be showing an early build of the title at Gamescom 2016 in just a couple of weeks. That bit of news was hidden within the big N’s plans for the expo.

Here’s a teaser:

Overworld Defender Remix was added to the North American Wii U eShop this past Thursday. The video below has a few minutes of footage showing what the game has to offer.

In North America and Europe, Nintendo has had more and more of an indie presence over the past few years. But in Japan, you don’t really hear too much about what’s happening there.

There’s a reason for that. Until recently, Nintendo was pretty closed off in Japan. That’s starting to change with the introduction of the Nintendo Developer Portal. It’s now easier than ever for indie developers to put their games on Nintendo systems regardless of region.

In a recent issue of Famitsu, the magazine spoke with Nintendo about its indie initivates in Japan during a brief interview. Here’s a translation between the two sides:
