I really hope Nintendo are letting devs like this support 3DTVs if they want. Someone needs to get on to WayForward and see if they're planning on it..

If the interview is any indication, they aren't. Just HD graphics and adjustments of levels based on the new resolution.

Awesome. Just got this on 3DS and it's great. I don't double dip as I'm a massive cheapskate, but this might just tempt me.
Those HD sprites are just...beautiful.

The good thing about launching with at least five 2D games, is that it could attract 2D lovers and set the tone for the future of the platform. That, plus the touchscreen which should attract iPad developpers, make me think Wii U could have more 2D games than any console since the 16 bits era.

This was nice (but shortlived) as a 3DS game but not sure it stacks up well against the downloadable wonders we have on PSN/XBLA at present. If anyone has played Outland they'll already be familiar with the switching gameplay mechanic. The MUSIC is awesome though, I'll give it that.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Personally, 3D means absolutely nothing as far as whether something's the definitive version.
That screenshot, though... man. 2D looks goooooood on WiiU. Art style seems far cartoonier, which I'm not a huge fan of... but it's so damn pretty...

Read the interview. Mark says they already have new projects for Wii U, but they wanted to release this first because they wanted to be at launch and also because they wanted to test the hardware and get used to it.

Would much rather play this game on 3ds since I like the added depth over HD, but might buy anyway. I wish they shared save files though.
This. I appreciate the HD work and all the shininess and whatnot, but something about pixels puts a smile on my face.
Looks great though!

This is who Sakamoto should have gotten to collaborate on Metroid with. Anywho, looks sweet, but I'll probably still pick up the 3DS version at some point. While the redrawn characters look great, the original pixel art has its own charm. Personally, I think WayForward's best looking stuff is all pixel art. The console based stuff has kinda a budget flash animation feel to it. Needless to say this is still a day one purchase, assuming the Wii U is reasonably priced.
edit: Yay, I see on not alone in my pixel fetish.

A wayforward Metroid would be cool as hell after Other M's angst-fest.

Sold. Double dip. 
These guys *get* 2D action games. I love it. Here's hoping for a HD release of "Aliens: Infestation". Please!!!!!

Unless the new content is like 10 more levels I won't be double dipping, sure looks pretty though
Ooo. Nice and unexpected.
The background has a nice lineless art style going on, and Patricia looks pretty good too. That glow around the bat at the top, and the odd colored outline portions on the spiked beast to the left are kinda weird, though. Probably just concept art, and less actual in-gameplay stuff?
Would have loved to see some HD Pixelart, but this is the next best thing, as long as it moves and animates beautifully!

Bit Trip Runner 2, Trine 2, Chasing Aurora (And Yet It Moves devs) and now Might Switch Force. Looks like it will be more inline with PSN/XBLA then WiiWare.

So this is what, 3 HD 2D games for near launch now?

Didn't grab the 3DS version yet, guess now I'll wait for this. Seeing this though.....Shantae is going to look fantastic!
This!!!!
And I may even double dip on Switch Force - it looks incredible! Shantae's gonna be an even bigger jump considering it's sprites were made for the DS - it's going to be a HUGE jump! Can't wait!

You forgot toki tori 2!
why would you want a 3d game from wayforward :/
if it was 2d, there wouldn't have been any reason for collaborations
I don't get why you say that. Bit.Trip Runner was on WiiWare. Chasing Aurora is from devs who worked on a WiiWare game (published by Nintendo themselves), as you mentioned. Might Switch Force is by WayForward, who worked on Lit, a WiiWare game. Okay, Trine never came to WiiWare, but there are comparable games on the service like LostWinds or NyxQuest, which are not on the other services (correct me if I'm wrong).
How do you get to the conclusion the service will be more inline with PSN/XBLA? I'm not saying it won't be, but I don't get how you can conclude that based just on these games.

Will hold judgement until I see how it animates.

More 2D HD gaming. That's all there is to say.
