Two Tribes has confirmed RIVE for Wii U (along with PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One). While this was more or less assumed given the studio’s previous support of Nintendo’s console, it wasn’t until today that platforms had been officially announced.

All development of RIVE’s Wii U version will be handled in-house.

Two Tribes’ wrote on Twitter:


Miiverse will be going through heavy maintenance starting tomorrow. The service will be affected starting at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT, which lasts until Tuesday at 4 AM ET / 1 AM PT.
