Affordable Space Adventures was announced as a Wii U exclusive last year. That being said, it sounds like a 3DS version isn’t completely out of the question.
In a Reddit AMA conducted today with the game’s developers, it was revealed that the team has “been looking into” a potential 3DS version. Note that the Wii U version is still being prioritized.
Anchel Labena, who is handling PR for Affordable Space Adventures, stated:
Actually, we’ve been looking into it and we’re in talks to see what we can do. There’s nothing we can announce yet, but we’re obviously prioritizing releasing a great Wii U game first
Labena also touched on Affordable Space Adventures’ multiplayer:
Multiplayer takes tasks that would otherwise be handled by a single player and shares them with the rest of the players.
Think of it as flying a ship solo or coordinating with a crew.
So whereas in single player one person will control all the aspects of the ship from the Gamepad, in multiplayer one will be the Navigator, piloting the ship around with a Wii remote or Pro Controller, another can be the Engineer, changing the different systems via the Gamepad touchscreen, and a third is the Science Officer, scanning alien artifacts and focusing the ship’s flashlight.
But of course, it could also just be two players and these tasks get arranged differently.
KnapNok designer Lau Korsgaard noted in the same Reddit AMA that it’s possible to play one, two or three player co-op. “The experience of the three modes are quite different actually,” he said.
