Wii U eShop


Nintendo of America has shown interest in Armikrog, Pencil Test Studios’ new adventure game. It’s pretty unique – the whole thing is made out of clay.

Armikrog was originally announced for PC, OSX, and Linux, but it could be heading to the Wii U eShop as well. Nintendo of America contacted the development team shortly after E3 and expressed interest in the project.

Doug TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim, is working on Armikrog. The creators of The Neverhood are also contributing.

Five days remain for Armikrog’s Kickstarter campaign. It’s only at about $600,000, so some generous donations may be needed to reach the $900,000 target.

Thanks to Elliot B for the tip.



Kemco and Exe-Create are bringing “Alphadia Genesis” to mobile devices. It’s a JRPG with a PSOne-like feel, featuring sprites for the world map and 3D character models during battle.

So why would we be mentioning a mobile title here? Well, Alphadia Genesis has a chance of heading to Wii U.

Manager of the mobile business department Masaomi Kurokawa said the following when asked if he thought about bringing the game to consoles:

“I hope so. Since Unity supports other consoles we will try to test it first. If that works well maybe we will bring it to Vita, Wii U, and if PlayStation 4 supports it.”

For an overview of Alphadia Genesis, check out the summary after the break.

Gory Detail is bringing its next game, “The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup”, to the 3DS and Wii U eShops.

Former Rare developer Chris Seavor gave the lowdown on the game to Nintendo Life, offering vague details about the game’s story and gameplay:


Many classic Mega Man games are available on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. Even more, however, appear to be on the way.

Capcom community manager Brett Elston recently teased:

“Hope to have additional news regarding classic MM games hitting the Virtual Console soon. We’re on a roll with the 3DS and Wii U lineup, and I have a feeling there’s more on the way…”
