Knytt Underground, the curious game of subterranean exploration, will come to the Wii U eShop, courtesy of indie publisher Ripstone. Originally developed by Nicklas 'Nifflas' Nygren for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Knytt Underground borrows and occasionally mocks the structure of games likeSuper Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and other victims of their pervasive portmanteau.

Ripstone has also announced a downloadable Wii U version of Pure Chess, a classic game in which two dueling kings send out L-shaped horses and cylindrical rookies until a "gotcha" is declared. It's been a while.

Knytt Underground and Pure Chess will be available on the Wii U's eShop near "the end of 2013/start of 2014."
