Dolphin Up was expected to wash up on the Wii U eShop last year, and in the end, never arrived.
After being lost at sea for several months, the title’s publisher, Rawkins Games, has now revealed Dolphin Up will be released in North America next month, on 5th February.
As originally reported, Dolphin Up for Wii U is a successor to the free PC browser-based game, Dolphin Olympics, and an enhanced version of the original Dolphin Up mobile game available on iOS, GooglePlay and Amazon. The Wii U version will include extras such as Miiverse integration, a new level (Jungle Valley), and a new playable porpoise (the Pacific White Sided Dolphin).
The core gameplay revolves around performing tricks, maintaining momentum, and gradually building up to even more fantastical leaps and combos across a variety of environments. Online leaderboards also add to the addictive and competitive nature of the title.
If you’re located in North America, let us know in the comments if you’re interested in picking up this Wii U eShop title on release.
Thanks to Ryan Millar for the tip!

Liam, Are you fishing for reactions to your article write up? I f so , I will jump at the chance as I ecco your sentiments about this game. I'm gonna flipper coin to see if I'm gonna buy it and will whale loudly if I lose. I hope it's not too expensive - I expect a good price point for this would be six squid....
I think a game based around the pre-game sequence of Ecco the Dolphin (the only part of the game I really enjoyed) is a great idea. Hopefully the controls are just as good!
@cfgk24 I'm glad you got that out of your system. In saying that, I dolphin-ately appreciate your efforts.
@Liam_Doolan Ha ha! Thanks for taking that so well .
I've seen kids playing this before, years ago, though I can't say I really understand much of how the gameplay works by watching them. For the right price I may go for it.
@Liam_Doolan
You made that pun on porpoise
Looks neat.
I enjoyed this game years ago on Kongrngate XD Still looks like it used to, so idk if ill pick it up. It was def one of the better flash games though.
I was wondering what happened to this game as I am quite interested in this game, I am really enjoying some of the better smartphone apps done up on the console, as long as they are done very well
It is actually quite fun, I have hopes that a 3DS version will follow.
Because a new Ecco game is never coming out.
@cfgk24 I sea where you're going, but ocean't complain!!!
