It’s been a short while since our last “Circle Entertainment spotlight”, but the company has been kind enough to share with us a first look at The Legend of Dark Witch.

The Legend of Dark Witch is a 2D action-platformer. In the game, Syega Crystals gave their powers to the people of the world, but somebody has stolen them all. This causes the world to plunge into darkness. As the dark witch Zizou, you must retrieve the missing crystals.

Zizou will be able to learn new attacks by defeating bosses. She can collect “Tres” in battle, which can be used to upgrade abilities. Players can expect “diverse levels that provide a fair challenge”, bonuses when replaying the game, and three difficulty modes.

The Legend of Dark Witch is tentatively slated for an October 16 launch on the North American 3DS eShop. You’ll find the game’s first screenshots below.

Rex Rocket’s Wii U version has been put on hold, developer Castle Pixel confirmed to Nintendo Everything. The studio’s Miguel Vidaure told us that a release on the eShop is “still a possibility”, though it’s “on the back burner due to the time it would take to develop.”

Something that could lead to Rex Rocket hitting Wii U is the Monogame framework. In a report last year, we heard about the technology coming to the console. However, this has yet to actually happen. If Wii U were to gain Monogame support, Vidaure said Rex Rocket would come to Wii U “in no time”.

Castle Pixel has already moved on to its next game, Blossom Tales. There’s a Wii U stretch goal at $250,000, but according to Vidaure, Monogame support would mean that the title would head to Nintendo’s console even if the target isn’t met.
