Another Banjo Kazooie inspired kickstarter game is no longer coming to Wii U. Clive ‘N’ Wrench will not be coming to the system due to the Wii U lifespan ending and the focus shifting to the Switch.
In addition to the beloved Yooka-Laylee, which is no longer being ported to Wii U and is likely making the move to the Switch, so too is Clive ‘N’ Wrench. Now the latter is obviously lesser known (it even had a failed Kickstarter), but it was a game that was coming to Wii U, that several community members pointed me toward, so it had some interest.
Developer Rob Wass noted that since the Wii U “likely” wasn’t a viable option, it’s been canceled, but they “definitely” want the game to appear on a Nintendo system in the future.
This is disappointing but perhaps it will find its way to the Nintendo Switch in the near future. At least if the developer’s words hold true that is.
