Astrogun becomes official Wii U developer, bringing Project CIDER to the console
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Astrogun founder Xander Davis made waves when he blasted the Wii U last year. Since then, he changed his tune and has high praise for Nintendo’s indie approach.
Davis’ new interest in the Wii U has resulted in his company becoming an official developer for the system. Better yet, Project CIDER has been confirmed for the eShop.
Davis told Nintendo Life:
“The kid in me is so thrilled to be making a game for a major Nintendo console that I dug up all my Nintendo Powers from 1988 onward and have been pouring over them for inspiration. It’s a good feeling, and I think that’s already making its way into the game design. I’m fulltime developing Project CIDER now, and the next few months are especially going to be very intense with a lot of rapid development. It’s a very exciting time.”

Thanks to the huge support given to Soul Saga, the game managed to reach most of its stretch goals on Kickstarter. Soul Saga will indeed come to PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and Wii U. It will also feature elements such as voice acting.
