3DS eShop

Midora has gone through its fair share of financial issues since it achieved funding on Kickstarter back in July 2014. That’s all culminated with Epic Minds essentially cancelling the project for the time being and offering refunds to those who pledged to the original campaign. The developer felt this would be the best way to go about the situation after being unable to strike a deal with investors or publishers last month.

Epic Minds wrote in a Kickstarter update:

Lightwood Games announced today that Word Puzzles by POWGI will be available on the European eShop on January 28 (North America to follow). The title was only previously confirmed for 3DS, but a Wii U version has now been revealed as well. It’ll be launching for both platforms on the same day.

Word Puzzles by POWGI features a collection of six different word games and allows users to generate custom puzzles by tapping an amiibo. This marks the first independent game to support every single amiibo figure and card.

Below are trailers for the two versions:
