Typoman is coming to the Wii U, Headup Games confirmed during GDC 2014 last week.

Players will control a little character made of letters in Typoman. You’ll need to use letters at your disposal to form words that have different effects on the stage. You may, for example, have the word “rain”, and place a “d” in front to create the letter “drain”. Doing so will allow you to drain water from a pit and continue onward. Expect to run, jump, push, and pull in Typoman as well.

Red Thread Games announced PlayStation 4 exclusivity for its new game Dreamfall Chapters earlier this week. But as it turns out, the exclusivity is actually timed – meaning the game could head to other platforms in the future.

Red Thread wrote on Twitter:

What exactly this means for Wii U is unclear. Red Thead recently suggested that they’d like to consider a different game for Nintendo’s console other than Dreamfall Chapters that would fit the platform better. Although, during Dreamfall Chapters’ early days, Wii U was looking like a serious option. So who knows!
