Ripstone has confirmed that Nifflass’ Knytt Underground will be coming to Wii U this December 19, for US and Europe.

This version of Knytt will be the best looking version of the game on console, and will also include the Infinity Hype update, with fixes and improvements made based on fan feedback. Infinity Hype will be exclusive to Wii U.

Knytt Underground has you playing as Mi, a mute sprite who can run, jump, climb, swing, and bounce (after rolling into a ball) across 1,800 rooms, completing 100 different, challenging missions. The GamePad screen will be used to display the map, so you can instinctively see how far you’ve gone and where else you need to go.

This version of the game is being developed by Mathias Kærlev from MP2, who is also bringing A.N.N.E. over to Wii U. Knytt Underground’s publisher, Ripstone Games, has previously talked to us about Nintendo approving cross platform play, so you can definitely look forward to that. You can check out the PEGI and ESRB trailers below.
