Nnooo has confirmed a world first for an indie game on a Nintendo platform, as it will brings cross-platform multiplayer and user generated content to the Wii U system with their hugely successful Cubemen 2.
Cubemen 2 is a fast-paced 3D strategy game where the player controls an army of Cubemen, as they use them to battle against foes in a range of game modes. Players will now be able to share and created user generated levels with all platforms, including the ability to battle against other players who own the game on Wii U, PC, Linux, Mac or iOS devices.
“I’m really proud to be able to announce this,” said Nic Watt, Creative Director at Nnooo. “We’ve spent the last few months working with both Nintendo and 3 Sprockets, the game’s developer, to make this a reality. Cubemen 2 is an amazing game and a great fit for Nintendo players. We can’t wait to see how creative they are, whether in tactical multiplayer online or in the new levels they build.”
Cubemen 2 can be played in single player mode, or with up to 6 players in online solo or team battles against players or AI. Wii U players will have access to over 4,000 user generated levels created on other platforms. Players will also have access to specific level themes, customisable Cubemen skins and a global ranking system.
“We’re excited to be working closely with Nnooo and Nintendo to bring a new dynamic to a Nintendo platform,” said Seon Rozenblum, Director of 3 Sprockets. “We’re bringing the gaming community together, offering true cross-platform play and user generated content across multiple platforms and devices and we are ecstatic to be including the Wii U in our lineup for Cubemen 2.”
This is a big milestone for Nnooo, as this is the first game they have published from another developer.
“Publishing has always been part of our long term plan.” said Bruce Thomson, Nnooo’s Business and Marketing Directors. “We’ll be identifying games we think fit well on the platforms we develop for and working with the developers to bring the games to some or all of these platforms. Our recent funding from Screen NSW has helped us to combine indie game development and publishing under one roof.”
Nnooo recently announced their critically acclaimed title escapeVektor was receiving massive discounts over the next few weeks.
