Hive Jump is bringing 2D shooting action to the Wii U

Graphite Lab recently confirmed via Twitter that their upcoming 2D shooter Hive Jump will be heading to Wii U as well as PC. The game features a story where man has managed to colonize the stars by the 24th century. Alien creatures have been discovered and the Human Systems Alliance is the force designated to stop the aliens from advancing. The gameplay itself looks like it will be similar to Contra, so if you’re interested in that type of game, keep your eye on this one.

Currently there’s no release date set for the Wii U version, but the game does have an official page and a Steam Greenlight page if you want to help the developers eventually release the game on the Steam platform.
