“[There are] two different possibilities. I don’t want to say what they are, because we’ve talked way too many times and not actually delivered a title. Now, we’ve talked about Hand of Odd in the past, we’ve talked about Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot; we started production then we stopped it. Those were the two that got out there and people didn’t really see anything new.”

“Most of my time today is going into designing new product, but our bandwidth is stretched. So I’m designing a lot of things – two major things. Now I’m not sure which will get started first. If we have the success of New ‘n’ Tasty … let’s say if we can do a million units of New ‘n’ Tasty – I don’t know if that’s completely unrealistic or not because we don’t have advertising money, we don’t have a big publisher pushing it. I think Sony will help us expose it. I think it will be a quality game, but it’s not trying to be Destiny, right?

Siliconera reports that Nintendo intends to bring MonoGame Framework to Wii U. We’ve previously seen the open source tech of the Microsoft XNA 4.x Framework used in titles such as Bastion, Fez, and Skulls of the Shogon.

MonoGame Framework allows for developers to more easily make cross-platform games while re-using code. Other platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows Phone 8, PlayStation Mobile and Ouya, can already use MonoGame Framework.
