Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Pixel Press has a chance of coming to the Wii U. The app, which allows users to create their own video game level and share it with others, may be bound for the system as the team is “excited to explore consoles and our extended team has experience with building software on those systems.”
The game’s developer said the following during a recent Reddit AMA:
I love the Wii U and Nintendo. A big inspiration for Pixel Press was Donkey Kong Crash Course in Nintendoland. …Did I mention I love Nintendo? …we’re excited to explore consoles and our extended team has experience with building software on those systems.”

A Hat in Time already reaches Kickstarter goal, will “do everything to get on the Wii U”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Just a day after it began, A Hat in Time has managed to reach its Kickstarter goal. Close to $35,000 has been raised, and there’s still 28 days to go.
A Hat in Time’s developer has also addressed the topic of a Wii U version once again. While it’s something that is very much wanted, the game engine currently doesn’t support Nintendo’s console with its current license. That being said, they’ll “do everything to get on the Wii U”, and there’s still hope to include the system during the Kickstarter period.
A lot of you are asking why we aren’t adding Wii U as a stretch goal, and to be honest, we really want to! But unfortunately, despite the Nintendo eShop’s ability to self-publish, our game engine does not support Wii U with the license that we have!
That is why we might need help getting the game on other platforms than Windows and Mac! As you can hear, it is quite a rut we’re in, but we’ll definitely let you know when we are ready to support Wii U! We really want to make it possible during the Kickstarter period! Rest assured that we’ll do everything to get on the Wii U!
Thanks to KIDNINTENDO for the tip.

“The Hand of Panda” looking to make its way to the 3DS eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Have you ever played the “Test Your Might” bonus game in Mortal Kombat? I haven’t, but apparently a couple of guy are trying to get a game on 3DS eShop based heavily around that type of mode, allowing players to memorize button combinations and timing-based actions to break a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and stone. The team has started a Kickstarter for the project, and are asking for $3,000 to secure publication on the platform with rewards ranging from copies of the game to shirts and posters.
You can find their Kickstarter here.

Gateway says it has the first working 3DS flashcart
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Gateway is claiming to have the first working 3DS flashcart up and running. As demonstrated in the video above, this makes it possible to run 3DS titles through microSD cards.
“The GATEWAY 3DS TEAM proudly presents the first ever video proof that many thought impossible. Below we show an unedited video of the device booting 3 different backed up 3DS ROMS consecutively which are loaded on the GATEWAY 3DS device via microSD cards. We hope you are as excited as we are! “
This could potentially cause problems in the world of piracy. I’m sure Nintendo will be doing everything in its power to crack down on Gateway’s plans and similar ideas.
Former Vigil creative director discusses Darksiders III ideas
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Vigil had plenty of ideas for a third Darksiders game. Primarily, the team had kicked around the idea of making a four-player co-op game with all four Horsemen. Darksiders I and II let players take control of War and Death respectively.
Former Vigil creative director Joe Madureira told IGN:
“It was always our hope to do a full four-player co-op game, with all four Horsemen playable. It’s possible we could have pulled it off. I would have liked to introduce Fury and Strife. I know many fans feel robbed that they never got to play the last two Horsemen.”
