We've just had confirmation from Nintendo that we're now approved for Wii U software development! We'll be looking at adding a Wii U exporter to Construct 2!

seems like it would be somewhat easy for them to do as it is html5 based, and nintendo's efforts in supporting html5.

as a part-time developer...this interests me

Regiruler · Jul 30, 2013

Good news for all involved. Growth in this area has been one of Nintendo's best recent ideas.

This reminds me of the editor used in Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2.

First console to get Construct 2?
Interesting.

majik13 · Jul 30, 2013

does this work through the web browser? or what?

You can run HTML5 apps through browser or native app. Native App on Wii U gets you HW acceleration in your HTML5 apps.

I keep hearing this is a huge deal, what games use this that could come to Wii U thanks to this?

foxuzamaki · Jul 30, 2013

interesting, but still dont know much about it, how big of a deal is this?

Tenki · Jul 30, 2013

VERY interesting, especially for those who can't code. For example, Super Ubie Land was made with Construct2 iirc.

Sweet... although how would you test your Construct 2 project on your Wii U?

I guess you need to be a Wii U developer.

Edit: or web browser, as majik13 said.

You could just put the HTML5 + JS somewhere on your home server, and navigate to it on your Wii U. You wouldn't get hardware acceleration that way though.

Yeah, that's what I was concerned with.

Dunno if that could be done, heh.
I'm making a DKC engine in Construct 2. It'd be nice to play it on a console.

The Wii U browser has awesome HTML5 performance though so it should still be good as long as you don't go overboard with sprite count.

So Nintendo really is serious about this.Its good to see them push this like they are. I was just thinking about jumping into HTML5 development.
