Knytt Underground will launch for Wii U on December 19, publisher Ripstone Games has announced.

The game contains over 1,800 rooms to explore and plenty of secrets to discover. On Wii U, Knytt Underground includes the Infinity Hype update, which is made up of various improvements and changes based on fan feedback from Reddit. GamePad usage has also been implemented so that players can view the map easily. Also note that the Wii U title is the best-looking console version thanks to the addition of new graphical effects and flourishes.
