Topic: Indie Claymation Adventure Armikrog Coming to the Wii U!

Nintendo Life reported the possibility, and now it's been confirmed: The creators of The Neverhood and Earthworm Jim are making a new point-and-click, claymation adventure game for the Wii U, called Armikrog! Who else is excited?

Pencil Test Studios (in the older comments below)

Just heard back from Nintendo (wow, that was fast!) Pencil Test Studios in now an officially licensed Nintendo Wii U developer!

This game will be made ONLY if they meet their funding goals for the current Kickstarter, whose deadline is the morning of June 27. You can pledge support at the Armikrog Kickstarter page: $25 gets you the game pre-order (no later costs), with plenty of pledge add-on available, and any help is greatly appreciated! The game also has the voice work of Rifftrax's Michael J. Nelson and Jon Heder, plus the Neverhood's original music talent, Terry S. Taylor! For a sample of the sort of Neverhood goodness we can expect from Armikrog, Watch the Weasel Chase!

Question: If this succeeds, and Nintendo backs a Wii port, what sort of features could be added to the port that take advantage of the Wii U's hardware?

I love Claymation so that is awesome to hear!
