Chasing Aurora was a local multiplayer game that released in 2011 with the launch of the Nintendo Wii U.

With the closure of the Nintendo eShop and the end of the console life cycle Chasing Aurora rode into the sunset in March 2023.

Due to the special nature of the Wii U hardware and the dedicated design of Chasing Aurora, the game cannot be brought to other platforms.

Thank you for playing Chasing Aurora. May the dream of flight live on.
