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.

[Interview] Curve Studios discusses Stealth Inc 2’s home on Wii U, potential future for Fluidity, and more

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Features, Interviews, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments

Stealth Inc seemed like the furthest thing from a Wii U eShop release when it came out in 2013. The PlayStation versions came and went, and there was no word on a release for Nintendo’s console.

Still, when time for planning a sequel came around, something within Curve Studios clicked. This led to the company announcing Stealth Inc 2 as a Wii U exclusive – at least for the time being – back in May, which surprised quite a number of folks. For Wii U owners though, it’s great news.

We sat down via email (wait a second…) with Rob Clarke from Curve Studios to ask about Stealth Inc 2, working on Wii U, and the company’s other beloved gaming baby Fluidity. I think you’ll enjoy much of what they have to say:

Curve Studios planning more 3DS support

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

Curve Studios has plans to better support the 3DS in the future.

When asked if releasing more titles on the portable system was under consideration, the company’s Rob Clarke told us:

Yes! This is the plan, anyway. The 3DS is a tricky console. A ton of us at Curve own a 3DS and we love it, but when it comes to developing games it’s a bit trickier. Many of our games started out on PC and are designed for fast systems with tons of resources. We have to go back to the drawing board if we want to make them on the 3DS, and in the past we’ve not always wanted to do that. However, we decided that it’s too good a system to keep missing out on, so even before the new 3DS was announced we had already made the decision to look at bringing out more games for it, so we should have an announcement about that pretty soon.

Curve Studios has only released one game on 3DS thus far – the Nintendo-published Fluidity: Spin Cycle. Thankfully, it sounds like we can count on new games gracing the eShop in the future.

We’ll have more from Curve Studios throughout the coming week.

Lone Survivor hitting Wii U in November, followed by The Swapper and Stealth Inc 2 soon after

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Curve Studios marketing manager Rob Clarke confirmed to Destructoid that Lone Survivor will be available for Wii U in November. Additionally, The Swapper and Stealth Inc 2 will follow within the month.

On the topic of new content for the Wii U version of Lone Survivor, Curve Studios marketing manager Rob Clarke said:

“We’re not adding any new content to Lone Survivor, as we added such a huge amount when we originally made the Director’s Cut edition for PlayStation last year. But we’ll have all the content in from the start and we’re making full use of the GamePad.”
