NE:
A producer at inXile comments on the possibility of both of these games coming to Wii U.
KeenGamer: "Where has the cRPG genre gone? The classic and complex genre has found its way from obscurity into the world of the massively popular Nintendo Switch. Can these old games (and their subsequent successors) get a new lease on life with the hybrid console? There's a number of signs that point to yes."
I do think handhelds are great for classic-style games, so why not CRPGs? The Switch is definitely ideal for that.

Well, I highly recommend Kingdom Come: Deliverence, and Planescape Torment, if you have an Xbox.
The first being one of the freshest, most in-depth open world RPGs I've played in a long time. Just a great game in general. Planescape Torment is simply a classic, with amazing writing, great character progression that actually affects the world, and a lot of player agency on how you tackle things. You also get Icewind Dale. Also a great game, but not nearly as good, in my opinion.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of good games offering the sale for the PS4, unfortunately.
Daily Video Game writes: "There are various nice action-adventure and role-playing titles on sale with big discounts across multiple gaming platforms that include PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. While the savings may vary from title to title, those of you who are looking to pick up new games to play right now will be able to save up to 83% off on various action-adventure and role-playing games at Amazon!"
I'm gonna have to start staying away from these type of articles since there's always a chance I'll buy at least 2 games and in the current state that the world is in, I'm about to be a father so i gotta prioritize my son but goddamn I'd buy at least 5 games from this list.
Mutant Year Zero (shown), is a good little game if you like Xcom style combat.
“[The idea of releasing the games on Wii U] is interesting. Right now we’re not looking into other platforms at all, we’re focusing first and foremost on personal computer platforms, but post-release we might get back to this if opportunity permits.”
Just like they should. The people who funded it didnt pay for them to make a wiiU,PSN or XBL version, that stuff comes after PC owners have the game they were promised.
I Kickstarted a PC-focused game. I expect to see a PC-focused game. I really don't mind if they take their product and expand it to other platforms down the road (which they should do, because consoles need far more "true" PC games instead of watered-down ports) but that needs to be something they do after their supporters have already been served.
I didn't back either of these projects (I did back Project Eternity though) and I think the Wii U tablet interface might be really good for these isometric style RPGs.
Obviously PC first, but if they can make it to other platforms, why not? There's an entire generation of gamers who have never played this type of stuff before, more new fans should make for even more ambitious crowd funding goals.
As someone who owns both a PC and a Wii U, I don't mind :D
and I'm a backer of both games.
