Ryan Payton is a man with a pretty impressive CV. He started his career at Microsoft in Japan before joining Konami and working alongside Hideo Kojima on Metal Gear Solid 4. From there, he became the creator director on Halo 4, and has since gone independent with Camouflaj, his own studio.
Camouflaj's first game was République, which raised over $500,000 back in 2012 via Kickstarter. An episodic adventure title, République has already launched on iOS and Camouflaj is now working on République Remastered for PCs - a Unity 5-powered update of the original game.
As we all know, Unity 5 supports the Wii U, and this has led 4 color rebellion to ask Payton about the chances of a release on Nintendo's system. While Payton stopped short of a firm "yes", he did say that his company would "love" to bring the game to as many people as possible:
We would love to bring République to more platforms, and thankfully, Unity has great multiplatform support. The biggest challenge in bringing the game to console will be the controls, as we would want to map Hope's movements to an analog stick. We're not opposed to doing that, but the main focus right now is finishing the final two episodes.
Have you played the first episode of République on your iPhone or iPad already? Were you impressed? Would you like to see the remastered version on the Wii U? As ever, we want to know what you think - so drop us a comment below.

The more games The better! At least they're willing yo leave the option open as opposed to slamming the door shut.
I agree with Spoony_Tech.
The more Wii U titles the better.
Looks like Jade from Beyond Good and Evil is being held captive on Shadow Moses with everything wrapped in a Bioshock motif.
Not really my type of game, but I'd give it a go on Wii U for their effort.
I'm wary about the more games the better, that's how we end up with 'The Letter' & 'Maze' and dozens of other terrible eshop releases.
More quality games is the way to go, and this one looks great and fun, and isn't another 2D platformer.
That CV tho!
I would buy this. It looks really interesting.
We need more games like this period — and especially on the WiiU.
Looks really cool, but I doubt it'd find an audience or be profitable on the Wii U.
Kinda sad when a lot of these articles are on games that "could" come to the Wii U, but probably won't.
I always had my eyes on this title, but i refuse to pay to smartphone games.
If this gets a proper console release, im definitly in
Looks like a great game, I would purchase it day one for the Wii U if it comes out for it. The Wii u eshop needs more variety of games, besides another 2d platformer or another puzzle games.
Had been considering getting it on Android back when it was on sale, but decided not to when I found out it was episodic.
If this remastered version includes all the episodes and gets released on Android as well, then I'll get it.
Looks interesting if it comes for the Wiiu,i'll buy it.
@Quorthon You never know... it COULD happen. We need more adventure titles on the Wii U.
@Leu10antFalcon
Yeah, but Nintendo fans will only buy them if they star Mario or Link.
Hey David Hayter is in it
@Mega719
Now I'm interested!
I still can't believe they shafted him for Kiefer Sutherland in MG: TPP. What a stupid choice that was.
@Quorthon Hm, yeah lets forgot about Mother, Bayonetta, Pliotwings, Fire Emblem, Kirby, Banjo Kazooie, Xenoblade, Star Fox, ect. Quorthon, stop making a fool out of yourself and complaining about Nintendo fans on a Nintendo fansite.
@Quorthon Uh... Ivan from Devil's Third says, "Sup comrade?"
Oh HELL yes. This is easily my favorite mobile game, and the recent remaster on Steam was also excellent. This seems like a perfect fit for the Wii U.
Meh. This won't save WII U. Nuff said
@Alucard83 It doesn't matter if it's gonna save the Wii U or not. Basic double standards. There's hope and possibility that it will happen. If the Wii U can handle CRYENGINE, so can Unity 5.
I got this game free on Amazon for my tablet/phone, who cares if it comes to Wii U?
@GamerJunkie EVERYONE cares. Us Nintendo supporters would love to see that indie title come to the Wii U.
Read the reviews and judge yourself:

Maybe they will change something in the Wii U version, but don't have to much hope.
@Chaoz
Quorthon got served!!!!
