Over The Moon’s new project “The Fall” appears to be heading to Wii U. The studio says that the game will be released on Nintendo’s console following the initial PC and Mac release.
The Fall mixes action platforming and adventure gaming. Players control virtual intelligence known as “ARID” in the form of a combat suit. When activated, the human pilot inside slips into unconsciousness. ARID will need to help the human pilot and carry it to safety.
On Kickstarter, Over The Moon has already reached its goal of $17,000 CAD with 17 days remaining. A Wii U stretch goal lies at $29,000 CAD. There’s a pretty good chance of the Kickstarter hitting that target, though a recent update from the studio suggests that a Wii U version is guaranteed.
Nintendo has opened an official site for Wii Fit U. Access it here. The lone page contains release date and pricing information, game details, and several images.
