Urban Trial Freestyle a possibility for Wii U, no rush for a sequel
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
The just-released 3DS eShop game Urban Trial Freestyle could make its way to Wii U. Paul Leskowicz, VP of Tate Multimedia, told NintendoWorldReport that the company is considering the possibility, though nothing is imminent. If Urban Trial Freestyle does end up on the Wii U eShop, it would “require new ideas and enhancements to fit Wii U specific features.”
Leskowicz said:
“We’re of course thinking about this but no final decision has been made yet. Bringing the game to Wii U will require new ideas and enhancements to fit Wii U specific features. We promise to keep you posted!”
Leskowicz also commented on whether there are plans for a sequel or expansion to Urban Trial Freestyle. Although the team is “working on some new stuff around trials mechanisms”, a sequel isn’t something we’ll be seeing in the very near future.
“We are working on some new stuff around trials mechanisms and would like to enhance the stunts factor of the game, but there is no rush with the sequel as there are still a lot of players that we hope will discover our game since the game is just releasing now on the 3DS.”
