Back when we originally reported on Underground, we mentioned how the game could be used to help train surgeons. Two control methods were always planned: one with a standard scheme, and another using a special setup.
With Underground’s North American release on the way, Grendel Games is finally ready to begin selling a laparoscopic controller, which houses two Wii Remotes and two nunchuks. Pricing is set at €250 (or roughly £182, with another £11 for UK shipping).

Underground is a new puzzle-action game for Wii U that can help train surgeons
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Underground is not your typical title. Four years ago, Grendel Games – in cooperation with the University Medical Center Groningen and LIMIS Foundation – set out to create an experience for Wii that can be used to help surgeons in training. Development is still ongoing, but Underground has almost come to fruition – and as a Wii U release.
“It is true that the title was initially planned for Wii, but as it seemed the whole Wii market was starting to fade out, so we switched to Wii U,” producer Stavros Tsikinas told Nintendo Everything. “For serious purposes (surgeon training), that wouldn’t make a significant difference, because either way the game would be used. On the other hand, we wanted to get into the Wii U market for the commercial reasons. Those four years were very intensive, difficult, tiring, but very rewarding as well.”
