'Underground' (WiiU) Gets North American Date, Custom Controller

by Rainier on March 23, 2015 @ 3:15 p.m. PDT

Underground is a challenging and seriously fun puzzle game where you as a player take the role of a robot butler.

Step into the world of Underground, a challenging and seriously fun puzzle game with a heartwarming story about a little girl trying to save her robot friend. Travel through a unique underground while puzzling and building your way up to the surface using your imagination and two robotic arms! Each part of the underground cavern features its own threats and opportunities for you as a player to explore.

Underground features a heartwarming storyline about a little girl named Sari and Sw4nk, her butler robot friend. When Sw4nk does an unsatisfying job, Sari’s father sends him away to work in the mines. Sari goes against her fathers will and tries to break him out. While traveling through the underground caverns, Sari and the robots get themselves into a world of trouble and it's up to you to help them out of their predicament. During their quest for safety you will be presented with challenging situations in four unique worlds; each with their own threats and opportunities.

Discover all the different building blocks and build your way up to the surface in this charming game about friendship, robots and a little girl who loves to dance.

As you may or may not know Underground started out as an innovative and entertaining training tool for surgeons. While developing the game, we've also worked on a specially designed controller. We are happy to let you know that this specially designed controller will be available for purchase on April 2nd as well! 

Although you can play Underground using the Wii U GamePad, actual training only takes place when using the (separately sold) laparoscopic controller. The two handsets each house a Wii Remote and a Wii Nunchuk. Each handset has a lance that is anchored to the playing field through a hinge joint. The playing field registers motion and rotation from each of the handsets using infrared light. This enables the player to control the game using motions identical to those performed during laparoscopic surgery.

You can pre-order yours right now.


Key Features

  • Unique and challenging gameplay mechanism using 2 robotic arms
  • Freedom to explore and build your own way out of the mine
  • Four unique worlds to travel through, including boss fights
  • Additional difficulty level (for players who love a challenge)
  • Incredible soundtrack performed by a full orchestra
  • A specially designed controller for medical trainings

Already available in Europe, Underground will be coming to the North American Wii U eShop for $20,99!
