Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty will definitely come to Wii U according to the series' creator, as he believes that just because the install base is comparatively small, doesn't mean it's not passionate.

Speaking to VentureBeat , Lorne Lanning explained that he was keen to see the game as distributed as widely as possible, and likened his attitude to Wii U to the one he used to hold for Vita.“We’re self-publishing. With Sony that’s a breeze. With Steam it’s a breeze. With Microsoft it’s not a breeze. With Nintendo, something’s going to happen there shortly,” said Lanning. “Even on the Wii U, though, how many people did buy it? It’s kind of how we looked at Vita in the Christmas of 2012.“So far we’ve had zero on Nintendo. We’ve had zero brand visibility on Nintendo since day one. We never built for Nintendo. Today, we’re looking at it and we say, ‘We’ll get over to Wii U.’ As a business model it might not completely make sense, but we want to get to work on Nintendo, get to self-publishing on Nintendo. Everything’s a new store. Everything’s more shelf space. We’re trying to get the brand across that as widely as possible.”Last month Lanning lashed out at EA over the ongoing Battlefield 4 issues , and said if New ’n’ Tasty shipped around 250,000 copies the Oddworld team would be able to fund a total remake of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, although double that number would be required to bankroll an entirely new Oddworld game.
