Update (7/9): Information about the promotion can be found here.

Nintendo will soon be offering a fantastic deal on the 3DS eShop. A notice on the digital store indicates that users who purchase Fire Emblem: Awakening or (and?) Shin Megami Tensei IV will receive a $30 credit.

3DS owners are advised to check out the game page for each title for more information. But at present, no further details are available. Shin Megami Tensei IV will be out next week, so Nintendo should be providing an official update about the offer soon enough.

Trine developer Frozenbyte is working on a new project called “Splot”. For now, the game is only scheduled to arrive on iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and Linux. There’s also a possibility of Splot coming to Wii U.

According to Frozenbyte marketing manager Julius Fondem, bringing Splot to Nintendo’s console would require “a lot of technical work” because the team isn’t using the same technology that powered Trine 2: Director’s Cut. But if Splot is successful, Frozenbyte may feel more inclined to bring it to Wii U, and the studio is certainly thinking about the possibility.

Fondem also confirmed that Frozenbyte “would definitely want to bring our future titles to the Wii U.”

“We would definitely want to bring our future titles to the Wii U. With Splot though the situation is a bit more complex as the technology we’re using isn’t the same as for Trine 2: Director’s Cut, so there’s a lot of technical work in getting Splot running on “high end” consoles like the Wii U. We are pushing as hard as we can to get Splot out on iOS, Android and computer platforms first. Depending on Splot’s success, we’ll see about other platforms. So, we haven’t decided on the Wii U for Splot yet, but it is something we’re considering.”

GamesIndustry recently caught up with three major third-party publishers to discuss Wii U. Ubisoft, Activision, and EA shared a few thoughts about the console while speaking with the outlet.

One of the more troubling items to emerge from the discussion concerns ZombiU. The game wasn’t even close to being profitable, according to Ubisoft. The company therefore has no plans or interest in making a sequel currently. ZombiU’s poor performance was also one of the reasons why Rayman Legends turned into a multiplatform title.

You can find commentary from the three publishers below.
