Buddy & MeAm I the only person getting an Avatar: The Last Airbender vibe from this?

Buddy & Me is a tablet and mobile game developed by Sunbreak Games, a studio founded by Jason Behr, who is known for his work in the Metroid Prime series.

Behr recently spoke up about the possibility of Buddy & Me arriving on the Wii U.

You can read more about what was said after the break:

Behr recently was quoted saying:

A wise man once said, “don’t ever forget where you came from.” For the past few weeks, I’ve received a flood of questions and comments from journalists and Nintendo fans from the Metroid Prime days, asking whether or not we would consider a Nintendo version. The game’s characters and play would be a great fit in the Nintendo world, and the touch-screen gameplay would lend itself well to the Wii U’s unique controller. But most importantly, I’ve felt really touched at how enthusiastic and appreciative these loyal fans have been to reach out, to talk about how much those games meant to them, and remind me of some of the most inspiring and influential times of my career. Guys and gals, this one’s for you: We’ve added Wii U eShop support as an official Stretch Goal, at the $55,000 funding mark!

The challenging part is that our engine doesn’t run directly on Wii U. It will take some time (estimated at least a month) to port the game over, plus costs for development kits, minor art adjustments, new assets, and more. It wouldn’t be released until some time after the initial iOS and Android versions. But with your support, we can do it!

If the kickstarter reaches $55,000, the the game will receive Wii U eShop support, however, the goal itself is only $40,000 and they’ve only received $15,000 at the present time, with only six days remaining. Although I’m hopeful they’ll reach their goal, they can’t do it without the support from the rest of us.
