The Wii U console is getting a lot of love from indie developers these days, the latest piece of good news comes from developer Jordan Mechner, who will bring a remake of his classic game Karateka to Nintendo’s new console later this year. Karateka is a beat ‘em up fighting game that originally released way back in 1984, but creator Jordan Mechner has been working on a remake for several consoles and platforms. Now ESRB ratings have confirmed that a Wii U version is in the works as well. The game will feature the same story and cinematic elements as the original, and will focus on simple, pick-up-and-play gameplay. Karateka is scheduled for release later this year as a digital download, likely on the Wii U eShop. Karateka is one of many indie games coming to the Wii U, other notable titles include Little Inferno, Toki Tori 2, and Trine 2. There are currently over a dozen indie games confirmed for the Wii U, most of them will be available for launch.

I like that Nintendo is getting so many indie devs because indie devs tend to make the most fun games. The most original system with the most original devs. Things are looking well.
