Curve Studios has already pledged a ton of support for Wii U. The company released Stealth Inc 2 – an exclusive for the console – back in October. Lone Survivor, Thomas Was Alone, and The Swapper also came out on Wii U this year.

2015 is shaping up to be a similar standout year for Curve Studios titles on Wii U. OlliOlli, Ultratron, and Nova-111 are in the pipeline, and PR/marketing manager Rob Clarke has teased “at least one more brand new indie game” as well.

As stated by Clarke:

Next year we’re planning to release at least six more of those games, and we hope to bring as many of those as possible to the Wii U. Some of these will be ports, and others will be brand new releases launching on the Wii U at the same time as other consoles. We’ve already announced OlliOlli, Ultratron and Nova-111, but we’ve got at least one more brand new indie game to announce next year for the Wii U.

Suppressive Fire Games originally took its 2D Metroidvania project “Blood Alloy” to Kickstarter last year. Unfortunately, the project fell well short of its goal.

Suppressive Fire Games has returned with “Blood Alloy: Returns”, a “combo-multiplier-based score-chaser, similar in scope to Luftrausers or Geometry Wars.” While working on Returns, the team hopes to also continue making the original Blood Alloy – a new Metroidvania title that is expected on Wii U.

You can get a look at Blood Alloy in the video above.

Varia Games has been working hard on ReVeN – a new 2D shooter/platformer for a few platforms including Wii U. The indie developer has also been creating XBridge. This was originally planned as a mini-game set in ReVeN’s universe as a means to hold fans over until the main game launched in 2016. However, it’s now being made into a standalone title.

XBridge will feature a number of elements like Conquest mode (join the I.S.T.O or E.G.R Faction and fight to destroy the enemy armada), arcade mode, and story mode. There’s also a level editor, 2-player co-op, and more.

XBridge is targeted for Q1 2015. Like ReVeN, it will be released on Wii U.

Curve Studios released a patch for Stealth Inc 2. It’s on the minor side of things, as the update simply addresses an issue with hats.
