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.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s time to fight alongside more than a dozen recognizable characters from The Legend of Zelda series to save Hyrule from a menacing new force. It’s time to dive into a crossover unlike anything Nintendo has ever done before, combining the vast universe of The Legend of Zelda franchise with the breathless fast-paced action perfected by the Dynasty Warriors games. On Sept. 26, it’s time for Hyrule Warriors.
Launching exclusively for the Wii U console, Hyrule Warriors lets players unleash the full power of iconic characters like Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, as they cut down legions of enemies on massive battlefields in familiar settings from The Legend of Zelda series like Hyrule Field, Death Mountain and Skyloft, as well as new locations created specifically for the game. The frenetic action of the Dynasty Warriors franchise blends beautifully with The Legend of Zelda series to create a unique hybrid that feels as seamless as it does bold.
Nintendo has announced a special national tournament for the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. in celebration of the game’s launch. On October 4, 15 GameStop stores around the country – including the Nintendo World store in New York – will host local tournaments featuring three rounds of four-player battles.
Participants will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis with no pre-registration required. Each local tournament will be comprised of 64 players. Participants can (but are not required to) bring their 3DS system and/or copy of Smash Bros.
