Pier Solar Creator on Wii U Version, Handheld Appeal

WaterMelon president Tulio Gonçalves recently talked about the enhanced release of Pier Solar and the Great Architects.

The indie project, created specifically for the age-old Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, was originally released in 2010 in cartridge format, heralding the notion that games for out-of-print hardware can still be made. Now several years later, Pier Solar is getting a release on multiple platforms - including Nintendo Wii U.

Gonçalves talked about the Wii U version in an interview, noting how the GamePad controller can be used as a "mirror screen for off-TV play, or as a fully-interactive second screen" for inventory, spell management and "other new functions new to Pier Solar HD."

He was also probed on whether there'd be a possibility for a 3DS or Vita launch, to which Gonçalves replied - "there's a lot of demand for handhelds such as 3DS and PS Vita, so we'll assess those after the game is launched on the main platforms."
