Indie developer 2D Boy has announced that its critically-acclaimed World of Goo is now set to hit WiiWare in Europe, previous plans for a retail-only release for the territory now having been scrapped.
Speaking on its official website, 2D Boy revealed, "Ever since we realized that releasing World of Goo as a Wii retail game in Europe is unfair to those on the other side of the Atlantic, we've been in discussions with our European publisher about how to make things right."
Continuing, the developer revealed an ETA for the game's Euro debut: "We've started the submission process and hope to release it sometime in December", also noting World of Goo is likely to retail at the same 1500 Wii Point price tag seen in the US.
Meanwhile, European PC gamers will be able to enjoy the game at the same time, with 2D Boy anticipating a retail price of 19.99 EUR when World of Goo is released in stores, on Steam and other digital download services.
