Stealth Inc 2 is coming to the Wii U eShop very soon, and to mark this event we've teamed up with developer Curve Studios (the guys who are officially the best at Mario Kart 8, don't you know) to bring you a series of videos which focus on different elements of the title.
The first video — shown exclusively here on Nintendo Life — looks at exploring the game's world, and features an insightful commentary by lead level designer Sam Robinson.
We'll be bringing you more exclusive coverage of this intriguing game in the near future, so be sure to check back — and also let us know your thoughts by posting a comment below.

This game is new to me. Where's Stealth Inc 1? On Wiiware? Aren't they gonna port it to the Wii U?

@BensonUii Hi there, BensonUii,
Stealth Inc (1) is not currently on any Nintendo platform, though this shouldn't be a problem as Stealth Inc 2 is a completely standalone game. I'd even advocate it as a better entry point than the original.
The original game didn't really have a fleshed out narrative and didn't have an exploratory world filled with gadgets and collectables, it was just a stealth puzzle game with a linear level progression with some sweet game mechanics.
If you enjoy Stealth Inc 2, you may want to check out the original game, but it's definitely not essential to play 2.
This game looks beautiful. Will pick it up on release date.
This game looks brilliant, just what the wiiu needs, more of these. I hope it sells well

Thanks for the info. I usually don't buy/play a game if I didn't play the previous one. I'm glad to know Stealth Inc 2 is a standalone game. Although I would prefer if there's no 2 on it but with a secondary title. I'll definitely check this out!
@BensonUii No problem, it's something I should have mentioned at the beginning of the video, I may do it for the next one. Glad you like the look of it! Appreciate it
@sam_robinson So nice to see you post here! And great that you do some proper marketing, which is an area where lots of great Wii U indie games fail IMO. I really look forward to your game and to see the level editor in action.
@jariw Thank you, we've been working hard on these videos so that is a great compliment!
I'm going to try and be around here every time Nintendo Life puts up another video, so am happy to answer any questions. The level editor vid will be the last in this series, but it will be worth waiting for
Can't wait to see the level editor video, that's something I would like to see in lots of games
@sam_robinson
lead level designer Sam Robinson here?
My face is getting hot!
You absolute genius, I love the first game so badly (just don't mind the imprecations, ok? lol), well actually I have a few S rating to go, and the entire last chapter, but I bet it is the same HUGE quality as the rest of the game.
Guys, please don't underestimate this one, because this is passion for videogames in action, you'll love it (and sometimes hate it, if you know what I mean... XD).
Sam, did you guys put the same amount of love into this one?
I'm more hyped for this then Bayonetta 2 or even Smash Bros.
Awsome I was always tempted by the orignal on the Vita but just never got it but this looks allot better I really like the idear of a Open world lvl Hub.
@Volmun Stealth Inc 2 has a much cleaner difficulty curve, deeper narrative and more diverse game play that the original.
Stealth Inc 1 is like a big DLC pack of levels in comparison to Stealth Inc 2! I would actually recommend playing 2 before 1!
@SuperCharlie78
Haha, you're getting me all hot! I'm really thrilled that you like the games so much. This is explicitly why I make games, because I like to see and hear of people loving and enjoying the experiences we create for them.
Stealth Inc 2 is made by almost exactly the same design team as the last game, so not only is it made with the same love and care, but we're all better at doing it, so we think it's a massive leap forward from the last game.
I say in the video that this game is around twice the size of the original, but I was really playing it safe, it's probably closer to 3 times the size of the last game in terms of how long it will take to 100% it... so I hope that's what you're after!
Thank you so much for saying such nice things! It means a lot to everyone here who's been working so hard on it!
Looks entertaining. I may have to pick this one up.
I liked the first one a lot, but this seems to be going to be massively awesome.
@sam_robinson
But I'm totally sincere.
What would you expect from an italian 36 years old lawyer, father of three sons?
So nice to have the opportunity to talk directly to you (laughs ), thank you NL.
I really enjoyed the first one this way, as you're reading it, I played it on the Vita and I must say the game is at home on that console, I just hope it will stay similarly warm on the gamepad.
And your words are music for my ears!
But I'd bet on you guys, Stealth Inc. is a great game full of love, care and competence, it's worth all the time and money spent on it, and I just wish everyone pays the attention it deserves, that you deserve.
Time to open up a dedicated thread in my community
Awesome video. Day one purchase from me. Can't wait!
This looks awesome! I love the way the text is incorporated. Can't wait to play it
Day 1 for me, can't wait.
