Stealth Inc 2 was a slightly surprising announcement as a Wii U eShop-exclusive title earlier this year, especially as its predecessor has never been available on Nintendo hardware. On the other hand developer Curve Studios has recently confirmed more titles — The Swapper and Lone Survivor — for the Wii U, while we should also remember that the Hydroventure / Fluidity titles on WiiWare and the 3DS eShop were developed by the UK-based studio; it's clearly keen to support Nintendo's consoles.
Stealth Inc 2 certainly looks like a promising title, taking the concept of tough puzzle-platforming and trials from the original and expanding it out into a larger world with Metroidvania aspects. Its exclusivity on the Wii U eShop also puts it in a relatively small, select group, which further helps to reinforce the platform as an exciting destination for download developers.
We don't have too long to wait to see what it's all about, as Curve Studios has confirmed a release date of 23rd October worldwide — pricing hasn't been decided as yet.
Are you looking forward to this title? Let us know, while in the video below Curve Studios' Jonathan Biddle shows us the title while providing plenty of details.

Stealth Inc is a great game. I hope this sequel gets the attention it deserves from Nintendo consumers.
I am glad its announced and will probably get this.
I own the first one on Steam but would love for them to bundle it with this sequel ^_^ Bayonetta style.
It should change its name back now bastard is an allowed word on the eshop.
(I played Stealth Bastard Deluxe but didn't realise this had anything to do with it for quite a while).
Even then though I preferred Mark of the Ninja.
This is another game at the top of my list! Day 1 for me i love stealth games! Which is how i played Deus Ex HR love it
I'm so hyped for this one, and yet surprised for the exclusivity.
Please pay attention to it because the prequel is a great game, not just a good one, but great, they know what they do.
23rd october, and then Bayonetta 2, I'll be pretty busy then.
Exclusive game = insta buy
Seen people on other sites say they will wait for it to come to the PS4. Apparently they think Nintendo could never have "exclusive" games. Bayonetta 2 springs to mind.
Though these same people often think Nintendo’s first party games will go multi platform soon too. It's all a big conspiracy.
Dang it. I haven't even bought Shovel Knight yet, and now I need to buy this game too... I need more money!
1 day before Bayonetta 2 Special edition and Samurai Warriors 4 Anime Edition? My wallets not going to like me very much that week lol.
I hope people support this, an exclusive (timed?) from a reputable dev team that know how to make great games. I really hope co-op is actually fun for both players though, unlike Child of Light where being the fairy light was pointless.
FYI dev's if your reading this I think £6.99-£9.99 would be a good price point, anything over £10 will scare people off, especially with a high profile release like Bayonetta 2 releasing the next day.
And the list of games to buy instead of watch dogs gets longer by the day
Nah, too tiny screen. They zoomed out more because it's possible for this gen to run it that way, but i don't like it at all. I prefer old schoold type 2d games. Yes please!
Looking forward to this a lot; not quite so much as the swapper though.
I heard co-op w/pad being used in interesting ways. If that is the case, count me in!
$10 or less, please!
Depending on the price, day 1 for me.
Never played first, but this looks very good. Nice to see actual footage of it
Puzzle, Stealth, and platformer...damn. This is what Miyamoto is talking about. Creativity baby. Looks great.
Looking forward to this one, great studio, loved Fluidity and the sequel.
But where's the original?
Also, I realized I bought Lone Survivor in a Humble Bundle but I'd generally rather play a game like that on Wii U. Is it worth the double dip?
I have the first game bought through Steam on PC and have played the original free PC Stealth Bastard as well. Still kind of hoping they would release or bundle the first game also to Wii U. New customers to the tranchise will be puzzled why the second part is going to be on Wii U, but not the first one.
Still awesome to see a hugely talented studio like Curve Studios making exclusive games for Wii U, you definitely get the feeling that these guys especially know how to make special gamepad using mechanics.
I am interested in this, but I worry for them after Cubemen 2. I think Nintendo gamers are put off by sequels to games they haven't played. I highly recommend Cubemen 2 if you're looking for a fun online game.
Great, this sounds very promising!
Aww man it's exclusive to just Nintendo. I got the first game on PS3 for free and was hoping I would get the same thing here. Or at least let me buy it there. Oh well....Wii U it is.
