Neko Entertainment bringing Kung Fu Rabbit to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
Puddle developer Neko Entertainment will be releasing Kung Fu Rabbit on the Wii U eShop. Originally made available on iOS and Android thanks to the efforts from developer Cazap and Ctools and publisher Bulkypix, Neko now hopes to improve upon the game by offering a non-touch controls version and a better overall experience for Nintendo’s console.
Kung Fu Rabbit is a pure 2D platformer that has players set on a journey to rescue their bunny disciples. You’ll be able to use a variety of control schemes including the GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote or Classic Controller.
Neko Entertainment has also provided the following official details:
Life in the temple of rabbits hangs by a thread. Universal Evil has struck again and kidnapped all of your disciples. Only you managed to escape. They let you live… They’ll soon regret it!
Use your agility and combat skills to save your disciples! Jump from roof to roof, slide gracefully along walls, sneak up on your enemies, and rip them to shreds!
Detailed graphics, humour, hours of gameplay and intuitive controls. Each of the 80 levels requires logic, precision, agility and Kung Fu Rabbit mastery.
Kill the Evil and save the babies, eat the carrots and unlock trophies!
- 80 levels in normal and hard mode (dozen hours of play!)
- 15 unlockable items to customize your rabbit.
Kung Fu Rabbit is just a few weeks away from launch. The game is currently in Nintendo’s hands and will likely be seeing a mid-April launch.

Nintendo gave Yacht Club Games a Wii U dev kit out of good faith

Nintendo is partially to thank for Shovel Knights’ Wii SKU. Developer Yacht Club Games told one fan at PAX East a few days ago that the Big N supplied the studio with a development kit out of good faith. Yacht Club had lots of praise for Nintendo’s new policy.
Shovel Knights is also planned for 3DS and PC. A release date hasn’t been announced.
Battlefield 4 not coming to Wii U, creative director explains why
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
EA and developer DICE won’t be putting Battlefield 4 on Wii U. The news is hardly surprising given how the game’s predecessor also skipped a release on the console.
Battlefield 4 is a cross-generation project though, meaning the Wii U should be able to handle the first-person shooter just fine. So why will the Wii U be missing out on the game?
Creative director Lars Gustavsson explained to VideoGamer:
“I think overall for me as creative director, number one is to deliver a really great game and experience. Sometimes, at least for us, it’s focus on what you do well and what you know well, and ensure that you deliver something good than trying a bit too much, stretching yourself too thin and risking it. I’d rather play it safe, deliver something really good and then look at the future and what could possibly be done than trying a bit too hard and [failing].”

Cuthbert on transforming Starglider-like game into Star Fox, Miyamoto’s involvement
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Q-Games founder Dylan Cuthbert spoke about the development of Star Fox during the GDC 2013 Indie Games Summit. Among other things, Cuthbert said that he believed Miyamoto’s original involvement was “removing what was cool” about his original concept.
Initially, the staff hoped to “to make a full 3D shooting game inspired by Starglider 2.” But Miyamoto eventually took charge, telling the team that “It’s going to be on rails, and it’s going to be fun and playable and a Nintendo game.”
You can find even more development quotes from Cuthbert after the break.
