Nnooo becomes first Australia Wii U approved dev #1

Sydney developer Nnooo has become the first studio in Australia to receive approval to work on the Wii U.

The firm has previously worked on Nintendo titles such as WiiWare launch game Pop, MyLifeCollected and EscapeVektor: Chapter 1.

The studio is currently developing DSiWare augmented reality RPG Spirit Hunters and 3DS and Vita game EscapeVektor, both expected to be released by the end of the year.

"We're thrilled to receive developer approval for this exciting new console," said Nnooo creative director Nic Watt.

"We can't wait to see what the console is capable of and already have a number of ideas we'd like to experiment with."


He added: "We're very close to finishing Spirit Hunters Inc and EscapeVektor, We'll be showcasing the games at Gamescom in Cologne in the middle of August. Once these games are completed we'll be prototyping some ideas for the Wii U to get a feel for what we can do.
“We've already had a quick play with the hardware and everyone in the studio is super impressed by the GamePad and the capabilities of the Wii U itself.

Do you have to find a friend with the other version to unlock all the letters?

Their first game, pOp was quite addictive if not incredibly simple.

I would not blame anyone who found this news uninteresting though, lol.

You should at least mention that Blue/Red/Green only had 32 pages, while Carbon/Tan/Pearl had 128!!

Also, escapeVektor was actually pretty fun.

With the technology of the WiiU, this time it's like you're actually writing in a real notebook.

This is a game changer.
