These are exciting times we live in.

Just yesterday on February 4th, indie game titan Undertale creator/developer Toby Fox took to twitter to express his interest, and doubts, in a Wii U port of his popular game. He seemed both excited at the possibility, and resigned that it may just not currently be in his realm of possibilities. Below are tweets where Fox relents he would need a helping hand to complete the port.

It's surreal that it's newsworthy that a Nintendo rep tweeted at me. I actually already talked to Nintendo about a port months ago… ^^;;

But Game Maker (what I use) doesn't export to any Nintendo platforms. In most cases, the game would have to be reprogrammed from scratch.

ALSO if there was a Wii U port do you think all the UNDERTALE Miiverse posts would finally have a home? Or would it just spread them more?

If brought to the Wii U, players would have a chance to utilize the console’s gamepad, perhaps bringing many new possibilities to gameplay. Fox even brings up the question of how Undertale could affect the Miiverse–and knowing Undertale fans, if given the chance, they would take full advantage of it!

However, while these tweets might come across as just the daydreams of an imaginative indie developer, they started to gain some traction when indie game developers at Broken Rules reached out to Fox to offer a helping hand. Perhaps Undertale’s future might lie in the Wii U afterall?

Thanks for the kind words, @j_laeme!
Hey @FwugRadiation, we’d be happy to help! We ported Guacamaelee, Blek & Electronic Super Joy to Wii U.

Broken Rules previously developed many titles, including Yet It Moves, Secrets of Raetikon, and perhaps most notibly Chasing Aurora. Their claim to fame, however, lies mainly in their exquisite execution of Wii U ports.

Could we be getting a console release for Undertale? Toby Fox has yet to respond, but things are looking up for Undertale fans!

Would you play an Undertale Wii U port?
