The Cave is Coming to the Wii U eShop

The Wii U eShop seems to be getting a lot more attention than the Wii’s own online gaming store ever did, with more and more games that would normally only get released for PS3 and 360 now jumping to live on all three home consoles. The newest title to jump on this bandwagon is Ron Gilbert’s The Cave, a platforming adventure game sure to impress.

We are unsure exactly how the Wii U version will differentiate itself from its Microsoft and Sony counterparts, but it will undoubtedly make use of the WiiPad. For those of you who have not heard much about The Cave, here’s what little information we have on it.

If you enjoy rappelling, spelunking and dark rocky caverns then be prepared to be disappointed! And then intrigued. And then AMAZED. And then disappointed again, but only for a minute. Then relieved, amused, bewildered, excited and satisfied. In that order. Your first clue that The Cave is a place like no other will come just after you assemble your team of three unlikely adventurers—each with their own unique personalities and skills—and stumble across a subterranean amusement park and a medieval castle, not to mention a fully armed and ready-to-launch nuclear-tipped ICBM.
