"Publisher 505 Games will soon add Nintendo Wii U and 3DS to
Terraria‘s growing platform roster, according to new product pages from game rental service GameFly. The news comes from a hawk-eyed
NeoGAF user who recently spotted GameFly’s placeholders. Although threadbare, the
Wii U and
3DS pages are certainly no accident. Both bear a release date of October 31, 2015 and cite 505 Games directly, so it’s safe to assume the listings are legitimate.
Of course, the nature of GameFly’s delivery means
Terraria will make its way to Nintendo systems through retail. It’s a stark departure from its previously all-digital debuts, including its recent
PlayStation 4 release. The game’s official box art has yet to be revealed, and will likely be paired with an official announcement from 505 Games or
Terraria‘s developer, Re-Logic. In addition, we can expect its presumably tentative, October release date to change with future updates. With any luck, it will still hit shelves by or during fall 2015.
Sheer controller real estate and a responsive touch screen makes Wii U a promising home for
Terraria, but I have my reservations about a 3DS version. UI and menus will likely see an overhaul for both systems, but trying to get the handheld’s comparatively small screens to cooperate with building and boss fights sounds like tedium in the making.
Terraria is a comfortable fit on Vita, but owes much of its ease of use to the Vita’s large screen and dual analog sticks. Here’s hoping the 3DS’ stylus actions can help alleviate the grind. If nothing else, the rumored February release of
New 3DS and 3DS XL may help prop things up. Maybe there’ll even be Nintendo-themed content in these ports!"
