9. Rive (Wii U)
Estimated Release Date: Early 2015
Although Toki Tori 2+ was one of Two Tribes’ finest games, it single-handedly killed the whole studio due to the development costs of creating the game’s engine and poor sales. In the aftermath, Two Tribes remained solely as a publishing company and promised that it would make a 2D side-scrolling shooter developed by a smaller team using the Toki Tori 2+ engine. Last year, that game was revealed as Rive and it looks like it could bring Two Tribes back to its former glory as an indie developer.
Rive puts the player in control of a tank that can destroy and even hack the behavior of its robotic foes. There isn’t much information about this game at the moment, but the announcement trailer definitely gives shooter and platformer fans a lot to be excited about.
I’m hoping for A Hat in Time on Wii U in 2015.
Since there’s no release date yet it’s a bit of a long shot, I’ll admit. But they’ve stopped just short of announcing it for Wii U so I have faith.
If the developer confirmed that it was coming to Wii U this year, it would have definitely made this list. I wish we could hear more about the game’s release!
Great list! Some were expecting, some forgotten, and a few were completely new to me. Definitely some games worth looking forward to though.
Thanks for putting this list together! I have a hard time keeping track of these games, and so many of these are definitely worth looking forward to.
Thanks! That’s why I put the list together in the first place. Nintendo has great indie support and I’m happy to help promote these games.
Affordable Space Adventures – how could I have forgotten about this game? It looks great, and should be out this year.
Good choice! That’s also another one I wanted to put on the list that I didn’t have room for, along with Hex Heroes, Elliot Quest, and Adventures of Pip. Even then, I’m sure I’m missing a few that I’ve been excited for!
Haha it was really hard to condense this list just to ten games.
