Dahku Creations has released a few screenshots from Chubbins on Wii U, which we’re told is tentatively slated for release in May. Among the images is a comparison showing improved backgrounds over the iOS version.

Like many Wii U titles, Chubbins can be switched between the GamePad and television. The GamePad presents a few control options such as the d-pad and shoulder buttons depending on the player’s preference. Menus can be navigated with the touch screen when playing on the controller.

As far as the future goes, Dahku “would absolutely love to continue support for the Wii U eShop (and 3DS if Unity supports it in future),” the studio’s Paul Burns told us. “We have other existing titles and are considering how they might be enhanced for Wii U, but we are also very excited about the possibility of future Wii U exclusives. The success or failure of Chubbins on Wii U will be an important deciding factor in how we proceed.”

Mobot Studios is working on a Wii U version of the iOS title “Gears”. It’ll be hitting the eShop sometime this spring.

In Gears, players navigate a ball across three unique worlds. Here’s what’s being changed for the Wii U version:

Complete graphics overhaul for the big screen
New higher res textures
Real-time lighting and shadows
New Gamepad functionality

Gears will support tilt and touch control schemes from the iOS version as well as analog and button inputs.
