Two months ago we reported on Poi, a 3D platformer in the vein of Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. Developer PolyKid has now launched its Kickstarter campaign to fund the game. A Wii U version will be realised once the game reaches its required funding of 80,000$. Check out the Kickstarter campaign here.

3D platformer Poi in the works for Wii U

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments

PolyKid has announced that its indie project known as “Poi” is bound for Wii U. The developer is taking inspiration from the likes of Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Super Mario Sunshine.

Poi is a 3D platformer that follows the journey of a rambunctious kid on an adventure to become a master explorer. Throughout their journey, players will run, jump, flip, slide, and swim to earn explorer medallions and uncover hidden secrets scattered across the world. The platformer features larger exploration-based levels and smaller, more intense platforming challenges.

Poi will be on Kickstarter in early July. A trailer will be shared sometime next month as well. You can view a set of screenshots in the gallery below, along with a teaser.
