Dementium wasn’t the only IP Renegade Kid contributed to the DS. The studio also worked on Moon, an original first-person shooter for the handheld. Unfortunately, Renegade Kid was never given the opportunity to make a follow-up to Moon – despite having plans for a sequel.

Co-founder Jools Watsham told Nintendo Force this month that a second entry in the Moon franchise “seems extremely unlikely at this point due to its ties with the publisher”. Watsham did, however, leave the door slightly open to the possibility of working with IP rights holder Mastiff on obtaining the franchise.

Watsham said:

“We had always planned to make a sequel to Moon, but that seems extremely unlikely at this point due to its ties with the publisher. Perhaps we’ll attempt to buy the sequel rights back from Mastiff one day. Not sure. Having said that though, we are pouring all of our efforts and desires into our new first-person shooter for the 3DS. If people like our new FPS, then we’ll have complete freedom to continue to support that game with sequels and such.”

As previously reported, Cult County will be an episodic series. Three episodes will be made available per season, and the first entry is coming later this year. Developer Renegade Kid is looking to wrap up the first season within a year after the first episode hits the 3DS eShop.

All of Cult County’s storylines are pretty much set. Currently, Renegade Kid is thinking of new gameplay elements to add. The studio spoke to one fan at PAX East and stated – roughly – that it wants to “do something special for our original fans”.

Other details include:

– Renegade Kid doesn’t want a HUD on the top screen in order to keep the experience cinematic
– Indoors area included, though it will be very dusty and will have limited visibility
– Story: looking to a relative you’ve lost contact with; stumble into a west Texas town tied up with a cult
– Won’t know who to trust due to the nature of cults
– Episodes will typically end on cliffhangers
– Intertwining stories that are both episode-long and season-long

Aside from Cult County, Renegade Kid has given a release date update for Mutant Mudds Deluxe. A launch is targeted for May or June, assuming all goes well.

Nintendo’s 3DS save data transfer tool, first promised for Japan in January, has an official release date. The app will be ready for release as a free download from the eShop on March 27.

One simple function is included with the tool: the ability to move save data between 3DS retail games and digital copies. It’s a one-way transfer – data can’t be moved from a digital title to a retail release.

Nintendo warns users that the tool is intended to move – not duplicate – save data. Retail saves will be deleted once the process is completed. If a digital game already has data, it’ll be overwritten if the tool is used.

The makers of DSiWare titles Antipole and Cosmos X2 are bringing a new game to the 3DS eShop. “Turtle Tale” is heading to the digital store sometime in the future.

Turtle Tale is a straight-up 2D platformer that is reminiscent of titles from the older days of gaming – specifically the NES and SNES. You’ll take on the role of a water gun-wielding armed turtle who is looking to keep his island safe from foes.

View a few screenshots from Turtle Tale in the gallery above.

Update: Welp, disregard the new Mega Man game news. Capcom’s Brett Elston clarified on Twitter that “discussions are still going”, though the company “will not announce anything until it’s ready”.

Capcom announced 3DS eShop release dates for Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5 at its “World of Capcom” panel at PAX East today.

Mega Man 4 will arrive on April 25. Mega Man 5 is due on May 16. Capcom also mentioned a June launch for Mega Man 6, but did not provide a release date.

Elsewhere during the panel, Capcom spoke briefly about the Mega Man series in general. Although the company did not have any information to present to fans today, it did tease that a new project is in development. News will hopefully be shared by year’s end.

In the past, European Wii U and 3DS owners could only purchase mature titles at night. There had been issues relating to German law, making it impossible to download such content during the day time.

The situation has, fortunately, since changed. Nintendo has confirmed that Wii U and 3DS users can now buy and download mature content at any time of the day.

A message from Nintendo reads:
