Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse may hit the Wii U this year

Currently available on 3DS

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a pretty great Metroidvania title that hit the 3DS earlier this year. It was a continuation of the series following Risky’s Revenge, and will lead into Half-Genie Hero which hopefully will be coming in 2015.

A Wii U version was always in the works for Curse, and according to WayForward, the final approval process has begun, and we may see it as early as 2014. Hopefully everything goes as planned and a new audience will be able to enjoy the game.
