Super Motherload cancelled for WiiWare
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Machinarium and Super Motherload were announced for WiiWare two years ago. Machinarium was cancelled for the platform a few months back, and now Super Motherload has taken the same path.
Developer XGen Studios has confirmed that the WiiWare project isn’t in the works any longer.
It was explained in a blogpost:
“Alongside this news, we’re also announcing that we no longer plan to make Super Motherload available for the Wii via Nintendo’s WiiWare service. Given our ambitions for the title, availability of HD, and current stage of the console cycle, we will instead focus on PC & alternate major console(s). Fear not; Super Motherload will still be arriving on console in the form of a digitally distributed title.”
XGen Studios hasn’t said if a Wii U version could be in the cards.
