Sneaky Ninja still coming to Wii U

In the past few weeks, a few games previously announced for the Wii U were cancelled for that platform, to be replaced by a Nintendo Switch version. That’s the case of Stardew Valley and Yooka-Laylee, for example. They were not the first, and will most certainly not be the last.

Naturally, that doesn’t mean that all upcoming indie projects previously announced for the Wii U are going to be moved to the Nintendo Switch… certainly not Sneaky Ninja! In the latest Kickstarter udpate for the game, Starfall Studios confirms that Sneaky Ninja is indeed going to be released on Wii U, as planned.

They explain that, while they understand why others have moved their projects to the Nintendo Switch (probably the best choice, business-wise), they have made players wait too long for Sneaky Ninja to simply cancel it on Wii U. They consider that, even if Sneaky Ninja was to sell 0 additional copy (besides those for backers), it would definitely be worth it.

If you’re wondering whether Sneaky Ninja could still land on the Nintendo Switch, the answer is… maybe. But as you can imagine, it’s a bit too early for Starfall Studios to start thinking about that…

Right now, Starfall Studios is targeting an Eearly February release on PC, with the Wii U version to follow soon after. They would definitely like to release it before the Nintendo Switch is released, but they cannot promise anything at the moment.

Sneaky Ninja (Wii U eShop) will be released next year in Europe and North America.
