At an E3 Press Conference in 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto was shown playing the title on the Wii U, confirming it’s existence as a Wii U title. It was officially unveiled during Nintendo’s 2015 E3 press conference. Here, it was confirmed that PlatinumGames was to be co-developing the title.
Reception
The reception to the final title was overall mixed with a 71 on MetaCritic and a 70.50% on GameRankings. Critics cited unintuitive controls and relatively short campaign.
