Retro inspired sci-fi platformer ‘Exile’s End’ is coming to Wii U

Following Releases on PS4T and “PS Vita”, XSEED Games will Launch Wii UT Version of Formerly Steam-Exclusive Indie Adventure in North America on November 22

XSEED Games today announced that the exploration-driven sci-fi platformer developed by Magnetic Realms, Exile’s End, will launch on Wii U on November 22, with the European and Oceania release following shortly thereafter on November 24, 2016. Exile’s End will be available for digital purchase on Wii Uvia the Nintendo eShop for USD $9.99.

Exile’s End is a dark and futuristic 2D sidescroller offering adventure-style puzzles, tightly-controlled platforming, and dangerous extraterrestrials. The game was developed as an homage to early ’90s action-adventure PC games, drawing heavy gameplay inspiration from classics of the genre as well as thematic influence from ’80s sci-fi films and anime.

Boasting uniquely stylized cutscenes, multiple endings, and an atmospheric soundtrack by Keiji Yamagishi of Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super Bowl fame, Exile’s End will have players investigate a massive, interconnected alien world and experience a story filled with ancient riddles and modern-day hubris.

Backed by Japanese publisher Marvelous Inc. and originally released for Windows PC, Mac and Linux via Steam, Exile’s End is a collaboration between Tokyo-based indie game developer Matt Fielding and many talented local industry veterans, including art by staff from titles such as Secret of Mana, Mother 3 and more.
