Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams may not support proper off-TV play on Wii U.

The game, which just launched in Europe today, does allow players to go through the experience on the GamePad. It seems as though audio is missing, however. Visuals appear on the GamePad screen, but sound does not emit from the controller.

Another odd tidbit about Giana Sisters – on the Xbox 360, it’s a 1.6GB download. On Wii U though, Twisted Dreams takes up 4GB of storage.

Natsume isn’t done supporting the Virtual Console. In a new Facebook update, the company confirmed it is “looking into other titles from our GBC and SNES catalogues.” Natsume hopes to have more news later this year.
