Maestro Interactive Games is bringing Super Ubi Land to the Wii U eShop in just a few months. Now, just to be clear, Notion Games is developing the project. Maestro will be handling publishing duties.

Super Ubi Land may not be an original Maestro project, but the studio is cooking up Wii U goodness of its own.

On Twitter yesterday, the company teased that “a lot will be revealed soon” when it comes to their own Wii U eShop game:

You guys have no idea how happy it makes me to be able to post about this game on our site! I found out about it just earlier today, emailed the developer about doing an interview, and got this wonderful little tidbit of information that brings utter joy to my heart. When asked whether or not the game could come to Wii U in the future, March the Slag (the game’s sole developer) said the following:

“Without making any promises, I think it will be likely that the game ends up on the Wii U. I have been in touch with a publisher that is interested in putting it on that console, and I’d be more than interested in seeing that happen!” – A Hat in Time developer Jonas Kærlev

That’s good enough for me! If you’ve yet to learn anything about this game, you should absolutely look into it. It’s an exploration platformer inspired by the likes of Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64— but with a beautiful, somewhat Wind Waker-esque art style!

Full interview with Jonas about the game and platforming as a whole coming as soon as I get it done, which might be tonight. Or tomorrow. We’ll see.

Wouldn’t you say that Trine 2: Director’s Cut looks quite amazing on Wii U? Developer Frozenbyte was even able to enhance the game’s visuals. But those graphics come with a (small) price. Frozenbyte won’t have Director’s Cut running at 60 FPS in the future.

Frozenbyte vice president Joel Kinnunen explained:

“As much as we praise the Wii U, there’s no chance for 60 fps. It’s just too much for the consoles with the graphics we’re throwing at it. The game runs at a rather steady 30 fps but there’s just not much room left. Sorry!”

Death Inc. is yet another Kickstarter project that could make its way to Wii U. Developer Ambient Studios is only working on PC, Mac and Linux versions at present, but it sounds like a release on the Wii U eShop could be possible.

An Ambient spokesperson said the following when asked about a Wii U version:

“A Wii U version would be amazing! First thoughts on this are (bearing in mind I’m at home, so I can’t talk to any of the programmers right now) is that we’re building in Unity. I have no idea whether the engine supports that platform nor the additional work that would be involved in getting it to work. If however, it does and the kickstarter is successful and the game is well received, then I would love to take a look into doing this. It’s a great idea!”

Just what is Death Inc.? It’s a strategy game that has you playing as the Grim Reaper, who is looking to spread the bubonic plague. Ambient is made up of former employees from Media Molecule, Lionhead and Criterion – a nice selection of talent!

Of course, before Ambient Studios can proceed with Death Inc., the indie dev needs to meet its Kickstarter goal. £23,024 has been raised thus far. A £300,000 total needs to be met before March 6.
