Typoman dev wants to bring new “Revised” version to Wii U, but has limited resources

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Typoman started off as a Wii U exclusive last year. Developer Brainseed Factory has since been bringing the game to additional platforms under the name “Typoman: Revised”.

As the name suggests, several improvements and changes have been made based on player feedback. The hint system is gone, many segments were designed (such as boss battles), and the controls were updated.

With Typoman starting out on Wii U, some have been hoping that those who bought the game on that platform would have access to the new version. It’s something that Brainseed wants to accomplish, but promises can’t be made yet due to limited resources.

The studio recently wrote on Twitter:

@brainseed_fcty it's on our todo list and we'd love to release Typoman: Revised on the Wii U but can't promise yet due to limited resources.

[Review] Typoman

System: Wii U (eShop)
Release date: November 19, 2015

Typoman is a game built around words. Its puzzles are words, its platforms are words, and even its enemies are word. Yet, throughout the experience, there are three words that will stand out above the rest: creative, but disappointing.
