Rakoo’s Adventure Set for Wii U Release via Moving Player Xport Program
Moving Player, well known in the Nintendo ecosystem for facilitating unique indie experiences, has continued its Xport program by announcing the arrival of Rakoo’s Adventure onto the Nintendo Wii U eShop.
Following the successful transition of Bento Studio’s Cosmophony to the platform, this marks the next stage in Moving Player’s mission to broaden the Wii U's digital lineup with standout indie titles. Developed by Old Skull Games, Rakoo’s Adventure is an endearing endless runner that places players in the role of Rakoo, a lovable but awkward creature in pursuit of love.
Leaving behind his friends and family, Rakoo embarks on a charmingly perilous journey that brings together humor, romance, and vibrant artistry, all set against the backdrop of a lively and unpredictable world. Rakoo’s Adventure draws clear inspiration from genre-defining titles such as Jetpack Joyride and Rayman Jungle Run.
Originally released for iOS and Android devices in late 2013, the title quickly won praise for its intuitive controls, engaging gameplay loops, and especially its distinctive visual aesthetic.
Old Skull Games’ creative direction has ensured that Rakoo’s world is both inviting and challenging, cultivating a dedicated mobile following. Now, through Moving Player’s Xport initiative, Rakoo’s Adventure is making its anticipated debut on the Wii U via the Nintendo eShop.
This move aligns with Moving Player’s vision of bringing quality indie games to new audiences and showcasing the diverse talent found in the independent games sector.
The company has stated that the intent behind the Xport program is to "expand the eShop’s indie portfolio with proven successes from other platforms, ensuring Wii U users have access to memorable gaming experiences previously unavailable on Nintendo hardware." The Wii U eShop has long served as a valuable hub for indie developers, and the addition of Rakoo’s Adventure underscores Nintendo’s ongoing dedication to supporting independent studios.
The migration of Rakoo’s Adventure to the Wii U highlights not only the enduring appeal of high-quality endless runners but also the collaborative efforts between developers like Old Skull Games and publishers such as Moving Player. With no speculative release window announced at this stage, Wii U fans can look forward to updates as the launch approaches.
In the meantime, Rakoo’s Adventure stands as a testament to the potential for indie titles to expand their reach through strategic partnerships and digital storefronts like the Nintendo eShop.
