WayForward's Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is coming to Wii U following its 3DS release, and it may make it before the end of 2014.

Along with releasing a trailer for the Wii U port, WayForward also tweeted that a 2014 release date is possible. You can check out out the Wii U trailer below.

Our Take
I hope in cases like this, when a game is released for 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo will consider a cross-buy option in the future à la the PlayStation 3/4 and the Vita. It would certainly give me more incentive to pick up the game.
