Some of you may remember Chromophore: The Two Brothers, an upcoming Wii U game that appears to take plenty of inspiration fromThe Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Back in September, it was announced that the game would be delayed on the Wii U due to a bad deal made with a third party, with a planned release window of 'winter'. Now that winter is beginning to give way to spring, the studio has had to adjust its projected release window.
Ackkstudios has finally wrapped up development on YIIK: A Postmodern RPG – which was originally planned to be the next project – and is now squarely focused on finishing the Wii U port of Chromophore. As it would happen, this is only about 75 percent complete, and it's updated its site to reflect that the game is expected to be finished sometime in Q3 of this year.

I'll say what I said last time: The PC version was so buggy it would break all the time for no reason so I never made it further than 20 minutes in. If the Wii U port is playable (which it would presumably have to be to pass certification) I will definitely be picking it up.
Never played it and I did forget about it since I last read about it. HOWEVER, after seeing it again I want to play it all over.
Q3 though?! ... Well- I know I'll still have my Wii U so the price will be the deal breaker...
depends on price and if its good
The Steam page for Two Brothers leaves me worried for this game. We'll see though. There seems to a lot of this retro style mixing of generations and consoles at the moment (Shovel Knight, Life of Pixel, this), curious.
Never heard of it before, but it looks interesting. Will keep my eye on it.
Will pick this up when it hits. I'm used to delays of years between PC and Wii U version of stuff by now. But I remain loyal to supporting people who support the Wii U.
This was like the ONE game that I set my eyes on back when it first appeared in an indie reel on one of the Directs. Ha. Yeah it WOULD be the game that faces tons of issues and takes forever to come out..
The Wii U port isn't even the only problem; we've been waiting for the updated (read: FINISHED) game on Steam for AGES. I really like what I played of this but it's obvious the game just isn't done yet.
Quality looking game looking forward too it for ages it seems but hopefully the delay will be good.
I have been waiting for this game to hit the Wii U for a couple years now.
