We've written a lot about Nyamyam's Tengami, as it looks like an intriguing prospect for the Wii U eShop. It incorporates an attractive pop-up book style, promises a relaxing adventure and features music from the highly regarded David Wise, composer of the soundtracks for Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, among many others.
The title arrives on iOS today, and the developer has confirmed that the Wii U version is set for a June release. The iOS version has undoubtedly been a challenge to produce — it supports a range of iPhone and iPad devices — but we're naturally looking forward to the home console experience in the summer. In a hands-on and interview last year, former Rare man and co-founder of Nyamyam Phil Tossell shared the studio's hopes to make the most of what the Wii U can offer.
We have the Wii U version running in parity with the iOS version in terms of features, but we may be able to add stuff that makes it even better — such as alternative control schemes and better ways of interacting.
Are you looking forward to this one? Let us know in the comments below.

this game looks interesting!
I don't expect much to be honest.
If it ends up better than my expectations, I will be delighted.
I'm a big fan of pop-up books and the japanese look, but if you need to move by touching or pointing at the screen - which is what it looks like by that arrow popping in - it's not for me. So hopefully they will add in additional control schemes like they said.
Not convinced at the minute, looks more suited to IOS devices than a console
I think I'm going to get the iOS version and if I like it I'll double dip and get it on the Wii U too.
As usual, I am keeping an eye on this one.
I'm not sure the gameplay is for me, but the presence of David Wise alone means I'll give it a try.
Excellent. I didn't know about Wise being involved.
I'm ready for this, it looks relaxing. I love relaxing games, gigity?
Edge gave it a 6....Apparently its not long enough so they give it a -4 deduction...>_> Im serious, thats their only gripe with this game. It doesn't make any sense...
Anyway, can't wait any longer and I recently got an iPad mini so...I'll buy it twice. I'm sure I want to play it on the big screen anyway.
@AyeHaley
Current (5) reviews on Metacritic are all over the place. 80, 70, two 60 and a 40. Still interested in it.
Disappointed that it's so far off, but still definitely picking it up.
Very interested in this! Price will be the only deciding factor as to if/when I get it hopefully it's no more than £5-8
Yes, waiting for this.
I love the visual style and I'm not a gaming masochist but this looks a little too relaxing. As in, that gameplay footage bored me to tears. I'll wait for the review. ^^;
Looks beautiful. I'll be waiting for the Wii U release as I want a big-screen experience that can be shared.
@AyeHayley Dinging a game for length is just stupid - does a good film get a higher score because it's two hours rather than 90min?
Is it game or Art?
The folding paper intrigues.
Maybe it is both.
... A Haiku for this article
