Nintendo Everything

Curve Studios has already pledged a ton of support for Wii U. The company released Stealth Inc 2 – an exclusive for the console – back in October. Lone Survivor, Thomas Was Alone, and The Swapper also came out on Wii U this year.

2015 is shaping up to be a similar standout year for Curve Studios titles on Wii U. OlliOlli, Ultratron, and Nova-111 are in the pipeline, and PR/marketing manager Rob Clarke has teased “at least one more brand new indie game” as well.

As stated by Clarke:

Next year we’re planning to release at least six more of those games, and we hope to bring as many of those as possible to the Wii U. Some of these will be ports, and others will be brand new releases launching on the Wii U at the same time as other consoles. We’ve already announced OlliOlli, Ultratron and Nova-111, but we’ve got at least one more brand new indie game to announce next year for the Wii U.
