For the handful of you that own a PS Vita, you may remember Kick & Fennick. The action platformer made its debut on the troubled handheld in February 2015, and while the concept of it seemed interesting enough, it received mixed reviews. Kick & Fennick sees players take control of a young boy named Kick who rockets around levels using the recoil of his gun in search of a new energy core for his robot companion Fennick. Back in early March, the title was revealed to be arriving on PS4, Xbox one, and Wii U, and now it's finally received a release date.
The announcement came via a PR release recently, where it was revealed that it would be making its worldwide debut on the Wii U eShop on June 2nd. This time around, publishing duties will be picked up by Abstraction Games, which has previously worked on A Boy and His Blob and Pixel Piracy. A platformer of this type will certainly fit right in on a Nintendo console; to get a feel for what the gameplay will be like, here's the original announcement trailer from the Vita release:

it looks very fun i might get this depending on price and file size
Looks like one I'll pick up:)
It's nice to see this appearing from one 'troubled' platform to another!
The mechanic look interesting and fluent. I'm thinking Ill bite based on that trailer alone. Looks like a quality product that they put some time and effort into.
Got this novel platformer on the PS Vita. It's a lot of fun! Good to see the Wii U getting it
hmm... I'll give it a shot.
This game is pretty bland and boring, played it on Vita.
Any word on Yooka-Laylee? October is only 6 months sway.
I like games with Novel mechanics like this. I hear what Dakt is saying about 2D platform burn-out. But maybe I do have room for one more waffer thin mint..
Looks interesting.
Looks nice, but honestly, I'm waiting for a platformer to do something new, to introduce a new element. The last time that happened was Mario Galaxy with the gravity element.
Looks nice! If I was releasing a game on the Wii U eShop this is the year I'd want to do it.
Looks pretty cool!
I thought this game was older! Might try someday though.
