Pure Chess will be coming to the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS eShops on March 20 for £4.99/€5.99/$7.99.

Developer VooFoo Studios states that Pure Chess "aims to reflect the beauty and depth of the widely respected game". It will have a tutorial mode aimed toward beginners who aren't familiar with the game, while still providing enough challenge for players of all experience levels. The game will also include a cross-play feature where players will be able to play opponents on the 3DS and Wii U, as well as iOS and Android devices.

Check out the trailer below.

If the reviews on this are good, I may pick it up.  I've always wanted a good videogame chess game (I think I owned one back on the N64 that wasn't bad), and being downloadable so it's on the system and always available is a plus since it's definitely a play once in a while here and there type of game.  The trailer looks good, hopefully it plays as good as it looks.
