During a Reddit AMA session that took place earlier today, Insomniac founder and CEO Ted Price commented ever so briefly on the Wii U.

When asked for his thoughts about the console as well as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 successor, Price said that he considers it to be “more current gen”, adding: “we’re not working on games for it.”

“Wii-U is something I’d consider more current gen – but we’re not working on games for it.”

Whether Wii U is current-gen or next-gen is something that has been debated ever since the console’s initial announcement. We’ve seen some developers believe it is next-gen to to what it offers and the fact that it is a brand new release, but others feel otherwise based on the system’s specs.

Road Redemption has met its goal on Kickstarter – and there’s still 35 hours to go.

Dark Seas Games was looking to raise $160,000 for the project. Over $166,000 has been collected up to this point.

Road Redemption is scheduled to launch on the PC in August 2014. A Wii U version should be out a few months later thanks to publisher Nicalis.


Q-Games is the developer behind Star Fox Command as well as Star Fox 64 3D. You may also know of the studio for the DSiWare games it created, including Starship Defence.

Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing any of Q-Games on the 3DS “in the immediate future”. President Dylan Cuthbert told Siliconera:

“Not at the moment because we’ve got quite a lot of projects currently on the boil, that kind of thing. We’re a bit busy, so there won’t be any 3DS in the immediate future, at least.”

Cuthbert also gave his own opinion as to what Nintendo needs to do with the Wii U in both Japan and the west:

“I think software. If they are going to win they are going to have to figure out the games. They probably need like new super IP, a special IP that makes people really interested. But they always come up with something. They are always very innovative. Even with the DS when it first came out people said that’s not very good and it’s not going to do very well, but it sold hundreds of millions and had lots of innovative titles. I think they will find something that will sell a lot. Who would have known Wii Fit would have sold like 15 million units?”
