Unfortunately, Playtonic also stated that the Wii U version of the game has been canceled due to “unforeseen technical issues.” That said, the developer has mentioned that they’re currently working closely with Nintendo to bring the game over to the Switch. In addition to that, Kickstarter backers who opted for the Wii U version of the game will be able to change their platform options, and that also includes a possible upgrade to the Switch version whenever the company has more details to share on that matter. More information on the platform change will be coming in January of next year.
