Dahku Creations has released a few screenshots from Chubbins on Wii U, which we’re told is tentatively slated for release in May. Among the images is a comparison showing improved backgrounds over the iOS version.

Like many Wii U titles, Chubbins can be switched between the GamePad and television. The GamePad presents a few control options such as the d-pad and shoulder buttons depending on the player’s preference. Menus can be navigated with the touch screen when playing on the controller.

As far as the future goes, Dahku “would absolutely love to continue support for the Wii U eShop (and 3DS if Unity supports it in future),” the studio’s Paul Burns told us. “We have other existing titles and are considering how they might be enhanced for Wii U, but we are also very excited about the possibility of future Wii U exclusives. The success or failure of Chubbins on Wii U will be an important deciding factor in how we proceed.”

Wii U is one of a number of platforms Hanakai Studio hopes to create its new project Prodigy for. PC is the only confirmed system at present, but the team is developing in Unreal in order to make a multiplatform release possible.

Hanakai’s Kickstarter for Prodigy states:

Beside PC/Windows, we hope to develop Prodigy for Mac, Linux, PS3, xBox360, PS4, xBoxOne and WiiU. Our current focus is on PC, but we are developing with Unreal 4 to make it possible to port to other platforms in the future.

Prodigy sounds neat, as the RPG combines figurines with video games. It’d be interesting if the game could take advantage of Wii U’s NFC features somehow…

You can check out Prodigy on Kickstarter here.

It goes without saying that Cult County will make use of the GamePad. Renegade Kid also has plans to support a Wiimote / nunchuck option.

That’s not all though. Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham said in a Reddit AMA that the team will explore all control methods on Wii U, “and if they feel good we’ll include them.”

If you haven’t already, you can check out Cult County on Kickstarter here.
