It’s been a very long time since Oddworld Inhabitants and Just Add Water made their plans known about Wii U. As you may remember, the two companies originally hoped to bring Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD and Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty to the eShop.

We found out earlier today that New ‘N’ Tasty is still on track for Wii U. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of Stranger’s Wrath HD.

Oddworld Inhabitants told one fan on Twitter today that there are “no current plans” to bring Stranger’s Wrath HD to Wii U. The studio did at least say that the status could change in the future.

Earlier today, we posted a video from Nintendo of Europe which showcased several upcoming indie titles. Thanks to the sizzle reel, we have confirmation about two new Wii U games.

Limbo and Zombie Vikings will both be making their way to the eShop. Limbo had been previously leaked by a rating from the USK while Zombie Vikings was always a possibility for the platform but had not been confirmed.
