Ripstone has shown strong support for Wii U thus far having already released Knytt Underground on the eShop, and Pure Chess to follow in the coming months. A third game from the publisher also appears to be on the way: Stick it to the Man.

USK has listed the platformer for release on Wii U. That’s not a concrete confirmation, but the German ratings board has been generally reliable in the past. Developer Zoink Games also recently teased upcoming news for Wii U.

We’ve reached out to Ripstone about Stick it to the Man’s USK listing, and will provide an update if we receive a response.

NG.DEV.TEAM previously confirmed Gunlord for the 3DS eShop, but it sounds like we can expect even more love from one of the game’s developers, René Hellwig, on Nintendo platforms going forward.

Hellwig told Nintendo Life that there are plans to support Wii U as well as 3DS. Redux: Dark Matters is one such game that could make its way on the eShop.

Hellwig’s comments in full:

We have plans for Wii U and 3DS. We think Redux would look amazing with stereoscopic 3D graphics! Since we developed the game on PC with HD graphics it will be easy for us to port the game to Nintendo consoles. Nintendo is more straightforward with Indie devs, and we believe that in the coming years Nintendo consoles will be a great place to publish Indie games.

After securing enough funds for the project on Kickstarter, Nowhere Studios estimated a May 2014 launch for Monochroma’s Wii U version. But as of now, that window has shifted to September.

Studio co-founder Burak Tezateser told Nintendo Life:

It is not an official date but I’m expecting the Wii U version to be ready around September along with the PS3 version. We’ll see about it. We can’t really guess how optimization we need to make for Wii U and PS3.
