Cosmochoria, a title that just recently reached its funding goal on Kickstarter, has been confirmed for Wii U. Creator Nate Schmold shared the news on Twitter, writing:
@JoolsWatsham We made the goal man. Wii U is happening. 🙂
— Nate Schmold (@mantrakid) April 29, 2014
Here’s an official overview as to what you can expect from Cosmochoria:
Cosmochoria is a love letter to old-school action / arcade games like Asteroids, Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong. Cosmochoria is a mesmerizing way to kill hours: hopping between planets, unravelling forgotten mysteries, killing aliens & giant space monsters and planting mysterious seeds to sprout new life across a long-barren galaxy. Get involved in helping to complete Cosmochoria’s development by backing the project and gain access to some super cool Kickstarter exclusive rewards!
Cosmochoria’s Kickstarter is located here. The Wii U stretch goal awaits at $25,000, which should be met shortly. Even if it doesn’t, it sounds like Schmold will be bringing his game to the eShop.

Broken Rules considering Secrets of Raetikon for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Secrets of Raetikon is being considered for Wii U, developer Broken Rules has said.
The studio’s Felix Bohatsch wrote in a Reddit AMA:
We are talking about a Wii U port. Secrets of Raetikon uses the same tech base as Chasing Aurora: our own in-house engine Ginkgo. This means porting it to Wii U should be rather straight forward.
Elsewhere in the Reddit AMA, Bohatsch discussed why Broken Rules decided to bring the Wii U launch title Chasing Aurora to Nintendo’s console:
We had a local multiplayer prototype that was really fun. At that time Nintendo told us about the Wii U and if we were interested to develop for it. As Nintendo is still strongly pushing local multiplayer, we thought that’s a perfect match. Also who turns down an offer to be a launch title on a console, right?
