Not one, but two Oddworld games are heading to Wii U. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath will be coming to the console as well as the upcoming Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty.

Interestingly, it appears that Nintendo requested New ‘n’ Tasty for the eShop. According to the latest issue of ONM:

“Not only did we hear that forgotten platform classic Abe’s Oddysee would be getting a remake, New ‘N’ Tasty, on Wii U eShop, we also then found out Nintendo had asked the developer for the HD remake of shooter sequel, Stranger’s Wrath, they were working on, too. We’re already belching loudly in anticipation.”

SteamWorld Dig is only planned for the 3DS eShop currently. However, developer Image & Form is still considering a Wii U version of the game.

CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson commented on the possibility of SteamWorld Dig for Wii U and the console overall in an interview with Nintendo Difference. Sigurgeirsson also said that the team has ideas that may be a better fit for the system rather than simply bringing SteamWorld Dig over to the Wii U.

“We are still considering SteamWorld Dig for Wii U, but I also think we have other ideas that suit the Wii U better. The Wii U is a very powerful console, but I think Nintendo has a hard time explaining to consumers who should buy it and why. It becomes a paradox: if not enough people buy the console, developers are not going to flock to it – which means that it takes longer for the console to establish itself.”

Ittle Dew is out today on PC, but Nintendo gamers will likely be more interested in the now-confirmed Wii U version. The game will be available on the eShop later this year.

Ittle Dew may very well resonate with Zelda fans. Both feature adventure gameplay, dungeons, and puzzles. If you haven’t heard of Ittle Dew, watch the trailer above for a taste of the title.
