Two Brothers is said to be “coming along” on Wii U. The game’s creator is also “overseeing the Wii U version to make sure it’s everything it can be”.

Here’s AckkStudios’ Facebook post in full:

Another three cameos have been confirmed for Hex Heroes, but this time around, they’re not from another Nintendo indie game. The folks over at Game Grumps will be playable, Prismatic Games has confirmed. Each of them will be voicing their own character.

Dahku Creations has released a few screenshots from Chubbins on Wii U, which we’re told is tentatively slated for release in May. Among the images is a comparison showing improved backgrounds over the iOS version.

Like many Wii U titles, Chubbins can be switched between the GamePad and television. The GamePad presents a few control options such as the d-pad and shoulder buttons depending on the player’s preference. Menus can be navigated with the touch screen when playing on the controller.

As far as the future goes, Dahku “would absolutely love to continue support for the Wii U eShop (and 3DS if Unity supports it in future),” the studio’s Paul Burns told us. “We have other existing titles and are considering how they might be enhanced for Wii U, but we are also very excited about the possibility of future Wii U exclusives. The success or failure of Chubbins on Wii U will be an important deciding factor in how we proceed.”

It goes without saying that Cult County will make use of the GamePad. Renegade Kid also has plans to support a Wiimote / nunchuck option.

That’s not all though. Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham said in a Reddit AMA that the team will explore all control methods on Wii U, “and if they feel good we’ll include them.”

Flying Hamster II will need to raise $150,000 in order to secure funding. Wii U and 3DS stretch goal amounts haven’t been determined yet, but it seems that they’ll be set past $350,000.

Renegade Kid has set a rather high funding goal for Cult County on Kickstarter. In order to secure all donations, the studio will need to raise $580,000.

That kind of high target raises an important question: what will happen to Cult County if the campaign doesn’t reach its goal? Fortunately, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham confirmed to Polygon that it will still be made, but development would take much longer.

Watsham said:

“We will make Cult County regardless of what happens with the Kickstarter campaign,” Watsham said. “It will take a lot longer for us to complete Cult County if the minimum goal is not reached, though.”
