Aperion Cyberstorm is going to support a whole bunch of controllers. The Wii Balance Board might be the only exception, which I don’t believe players will be displeased about!

Regarding controllers, we’ve tried to support every official option as far as possible — sorry, no balance board…

As we said last year, the game will support a Wii Remote without an attached Nunchuk.

When we got down to it, we realised the logistics of mapping a twin stick shooter to that device.

You may remember Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest, an indie platformer we brought up last April. It was planned for launch in Fall 2015 at the time, but those plans changed as we all now know.

Development on Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest is now complete. At the moment, Arcane Four Studios is working on certification to bring it to Wii U and Xbox One. The 3DS version will follow at a later date.

Watch a new trailer for Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest below.
