Gameware Europe’s Kickstarter for its new James Pond project has ended. The campaign had until October 20 to raise a total of £100,000, but it seemed like funds would fall well short of that goal.

Now the question is, what’s the future of James Pond? Gameware doesn’t seem to be giving up, as the company acknowledged in a new update “that there sure is still a lot of love for this plucky secret agent fish and we believe it’ll only take the right game and the right campaign to make James Pond 4 a reality.”

“But is this the end for Pond? We sure hope not! If there’s one thing we’ve learned from running this campaign it’s that there sure is still a lot of love for this plucky secret agent fish and we believe it’ll only take the right game and the right campaign to make James Pond 4 a reality. So stay tuned and we will be back with more news soon.”

As expected, Watch_Dogs’ Wii U version isn’t too comparable to its PlayStation 4 and Xbox One counterparts from a graphical perspective. Still, Ubisoft has said “it’s a beautiful game on Wii U.”

Ubisoft Montreal creative director Jonathan Morin shared the comment while speaking with CVG. Morin reconfirmed that the Wii U version does look better than current-gen versions, but isn’t quite up to the next-gen release.

He said:

“I would say the Wii U version is pretty much in between what the current gen is and what the next gen is from a version standpoint. It’s hard to position it. I would tend to say it’s maybe a bit closer to current gen than next gen for certain things but it’s a beautiful game on Wii U and it’s cool to play it just on the GamePad.”

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has once again responded to a question regarding the possibility of the company releasing games on smartphones.

Iwata made the comment during an interview session held at B Dash Camp 2013 Fall in Osaka with Hitotsubashi University professor Nobuo Sayama.

Tetsuya Sanada, president of KLab, was present at the interview. He said, “Smartphones and tablets are spreading so rapidly. Is there any chance that Nintendo will expand into the smartphone business with content of its own?” In response, Iwata replied, “I don’t know how long I’ll be president of Nintendo, but I can tell you this. Not at this time.”
