Wii U Vs PC Multiplayer Featured On Cubemen 2

Joystiq is reporting that the Wii U eShop game, Cubemen 2, will feature online multiplayer as a few eShop games have already. What makes this particular game unique is that it will be the first game to allow Wii U owners to also play against people playing on PC, Mac, and Linux as well. This is an interesting breakthrough, especially for Nintendo, who is notorious for lacking online support a lot of the time. The game has no price yet on the Wii U’s eShop, but on Steam it’s already available for $7.99.

This isn’t the first game to feature cross-platform play as Monster Hunter 3 allowed for 3DS and Wii U owners to battle it out. But it is the first to allow for multiplayer gaming against non-Nintendo systems. Could this be the start of a new trend this generation? Would you like to see more eShop games with this feature? Or better yet, full games with cross-platform multiplayer? i wish more games were like this.

Cross platform play should exist on everything. The game matching systems should focus on ensuring decent connections etc, but beyond that... let's do this.

That would be great!!! we won't ever be the alone in Duty

no idea what Cubeman is but this is a welcome feature. Hopefully not one of those games where the PC has a huge advantage (like Quake III on Dreamcast).
