Frenchy Bird

Following the overnight success of iOS sensation Flappy Bird, newly founded French indie developer Carbon Fire Studio has announced that its first game — Frenchy Bird — will be released on the Wii U eShop in North America before the end of the year, with a release likely within other regions.

Players will take on the role of a Parisian pigeon and be required to navigate through the streets of Paris whilst avoiding lamp posts. To enhance the classic arcade experience, players will be able to share their score on Miiverse and make their way through the top 100 worldwide ranking.

In addition to this, the game will feature 3D visuals, unlockable stamps for use within Miiverse, and an Off-TV play function.

If the idea of a shameless but possibly solid imitation of Flappy Bird (itself a clone, some would argue) for the Wii U would interest you — we also have SPIKEY WALLS on the way — let us know in the comments below.
