Buddy & Me was a cute endless runner released for mobile platforms a couple years back that followed the adventures of a little boy and his "Buddy", and it was praised for its fantasy-themed art style and universal appeal. Naturally, games such as this have a certain degree of overlap with the Wii U, given its GamePad, and Sunbreak Games has just announced that it will be bringing Buddy & Me: Dream Edition to the Wii U eShop in just a few months.
This will be the definitive version of the game, built upon the Samsung Smart TV version that added in additional outfits, seasons, and more extra features. As for what will be added this time around, there will be even more outfits and an unlockable concept art gallery. There are also some features being considered that may get a Kickstarter update of their own, such as ziplines, localization in other languages, bunny companions, and a 'Treehouse Mode'. However, these features would cost the developer more, so it's being left in the public's hands whether or not they'll make the final cut.
There's an existent build currently running on Wii U dev kits, and the studio expects that it can make it to the distribution stage by spring. North America, Europe, and Australia will be receiving it for sure, with other regions still being considered. And – for any of you who backed the original Kickstarter – Sunbreak Games will be giving out complimentary download codes.

I remember when the kickstarter started. I was vaguely interested, but I'm not so into the endless runner genre.
I have this on my android, it's NOICE...thankfully it's not one of those games that either get removed from the store or no longer supports the version of my android or even becomes free with ads =w=. Might actually see about getting this once it comes out, will see how it goes.
...have it for IOS and it is a fun, nice looking game..will be a good fit for Wii U, very Nintendoish..
Awesome. I backed this game and will totally pick this up when it comes to Wii U.
I have never heard of this game. The title made me think of the 80's stuffed doll, My Buddy. Weird reference, I know.
"the Samsung Smart TV version"
If that isn't the phrase that marks the end of videogames as we know it I don't know what is.
Good to see them coming back to their Wii U support after kickstarter
I've literally never heard of this game until now. From the picture and name alone I get a Boy and his Blob sort of vibe.
I backed this game back then because it was TOO ADORABLE. I'll get it on Wii U as well, but hopefuly they can send me a code, as I had to buy it on iOS do to region difficulties.
Aww that big yellow creature thing is freaking adorable!
As long as the price is right! I heard its terribly short.
I'm Getting It No Matter What. I Had The Game On My Tablet, But I Don't Have The Tablet Anymore. But I Will Pick This Up. Can't Wait. It's Been Submitted To Nintendo For Approval. Just That And A Release Date. Then We All Go Mad.
