System 3 announced Putty Squad earlier today, an update of the classic 1994 game. This isn’t the only remake in the works. In an interview with Nintendo Life, studio founder Mark Cale teased “a very big announcement” that will be made “just before E3”.

He said:

“We have a very big announcement to make just before E3. I will give a hint: do you like building simulators?”

That title will likely make an appearance on both of Nintendo’s platforms. According to Cale, “All of our games are planned to support 3DS and Wii U where possible.”
