Chris Seavor, lead designer of N64 platformer Conker's Bad Fur Day and head of mobile game developer Gory Detail, says he hopes to release his studio's next game on Wii U.

Writing on his personal Twitter account, Seavor, who also provided the voiceover for the Conker character while working at Rare, stated: "WiiU devkits ain't cheap and it's lookin likely @GoryDetail is gonna need 3 at some point this year ;) (that's top secret btw) heh!"

When questioned about this new game, Seavor later confirmed that it would not be related in any way to the Conker franchise, which is currently owned by Microsoft, and said it was instead about "the sad tale of a lonely, abandoned, rusty old doggie."

To date, Gory Detail have released just one game, an endless runner-style game called Parashoot Stan for iOS platforms.
