Space Enigma Studios’ new project, Space Pioneer, is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. The team has raised nearly $18,000 of the $150,000 goal with 41 days remaining.

Real world astronauts, writers, artists, designers, and architects are all involved with Space Pioneer. It features a mix of space sim, real-time strategy, and city-building mechanics.

Space Enigma has expressed interest in bringing Space Pioneer to Nintendo’s console, with the studio telling us, “We want Space Pioneer to become the best space based game on Wii U.”

You can find Space Pioneer on Kickstarter here. If the $150,000 target is surpassed, new platforms will be announced for the campaign as stretch goals.

After securing enough funds for the project on Kickstarter, Nowhere Studios estimated a May 2014 launch for Monochroma’s Wii U version. But as of now, that window has shifted to September.

Studio co-founder Burak Tezateser told Nintendo Life:

It is not an official date but I’m expecting the Wii U version to be ready around September along with the PS3 version. We’ll see about it. We can’t really guess how optimization we need to make for Wii U and PS3.

Zen Studios has announced “Super League Football” for Zen Pinball 2, a new table featuring clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool FC, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid C.F., A.C. Milan, Juventus Football Club, and A.S. Roma.

Below is the content’s official overview:

When players download Super League Football, they will select the club they wish to support. Their table will be themed in brilliant style, including images of the clubs biggest stars, team mascots, chants and theme songs. As games are completed, scores will tally to each club’s global leaderboard, providing an overall rank for each club in the league on a global scale on each platform. As you lead your team through league play, you will earn trophies and accolades which will be placed in their own trophy room.

Zen Studios’ official announcement didn’t include Wii U, but the company has since confirmed support for the platform. The game’s official website has it right.
