Chromophore: The Two Brothers has always seemed like a title destined to hit it off with a Nintendo audience; it's an action adventure with Game Boy-style visuals and a heavy Link's Awakening vibe, which naturally attracted a lot of attention in the past. Its planned arrival on Wii U hasn't come around, however, despite the title long being available on PC.
We've spoken to developer Ackkstudios at EGX about the latest on this project, and the pleasing news is that it'll finally arrive on Wii U this Winter, which should be the end of this year or early 2016.
The circumstances around the delay have been particularly unfortunate - a third party had been paid to complete the conversion work from the PC build, yet it wasn't even near finished before the partnership broke down; this is despite money being paid for the port. It's been a legal issue and has taken an extensive period of time to resolve, and Ackkstudios itself has had to continue the work under the trying circumstances of also being committed to its next project - YIIK: A Postmodern RPG.
The new window is a firm one, however, assuming there are no major surprises or problems. YIIK: A Postmodern RPG is also due in the coming Winter and is coming to Wii U - we'll have hands on impressions and some intriguing details on the title with you later this weekend.
Are you still keen to play Chromophore: The Two Brothers on Wii U?

Shame, looks like fun. Glad it'll be here eventually though.
I have to say after the trailer I kind of want Chromophore. Anyway, my best wishes goes to the developers and I hope they are able to finish Chromophore for the Wii U .
That looks a little too close to Zelda if you ask me. Still one of my favorite Zelda games.
Looks fantastic. I'm all in!
Still waiting on Cryamore though. That's my number one anticipated indie RPG. Had the best pitch video I've ever seen, 1000x over

Looks amazing. Depending on the price, I will get it day one.
Huh. I forgot about this one.
Forgot about it ages ago. I figured they dropped it because they only showed that trailer/teaser ages ago and that was it.
Looks good, although from the gameboy graphics it looks like it would be a better fit for the 3ds, or both at least.
Cool, I've been looking forward to this for a while. Probably an insta-buy for me.
Nice explanation about the delay. More than we've gotten out of Nintendo for Zelda U and StarFox Zero which had an actual release date of Nov 20. Sounds like these guys have a valid reason.
Um...why isn't this article showing up on the home page?
I wanted this game a long time ago. I really don't like how they changed the name though. Some of the PC reviews dampened my hype for it.
Been waiting a very long time for this, hope it actually gets released this time.
Looks a lot like Links Awakening so I am sold.
BE WARNED!!!
This game was and still is buggy as hell on the PC.
Read the reviews, before any purchase. I loved the game, but couldn't complete it due to the numerous glitches.
@Aronos Thanks for the heads-up, will wait for a review for this one.
50% love it, and 50% really don't like the flickering sprites (intentional or not).
I would love to play this on Wii U, if only it meant this would finally be playable.
I remember the PC game being buggy beyond belief, so much so that I gave up playing it within an hour or so, it was breaking in half at every turn. I am assuming to get to WiiU it will need to get through the certification process and that will hopefully make it playable...
2015... year of delays
What an ugly game! It's hurting my eyes!
Glad it's not coming!
Just bring it...
Chromophore has always been an afterthought for me - YIIK is what has me really excited.
Either way, glad to hear they're both coming soon.
@Captain_Gonru "because things"
If Nintneod goes back to doing the Directs that should become the new "Please understand." ie "We are sorry to tell you Zelda U has become Zelda NX, because... things." @Ryno I think you might need to make me a meme
I used to be looking forward to this game, but after the loooong delay and the PC reviews, I'm skeptical.
Wouldn't it be great if Nintendo had an in house team to port games at a cost?
Oh, so it's called Chromophore now? I forgot all about this game. Yes, still hyped, I think...
