Each one of Renegade Kid’s games has appeared on a Nintendo platform. The only semi-exceptions to this are Mutant Mudds and Dementium II, both of which have also been made for the PC.

Even though Renegade Kid has showed interest in the PC as of late, the studio won’t be abandoning its support for Nintendo platforms. In fact, co-founder Jools Watsham wrote on his blog recently that the company “would like to put the majority of our future development efforts into the 3DS eShop and Wii U eShop titles”.

“Porting Mutant Mudds to the PC, and selling it on Steam, has the potential of bringing some much needed funds into Renegade Kid, which will go straight into the development of new games. As we’re being perfectly – and frankly – honest here; I would like to put the majority of our future development efforts into the 3DS eShop and Wii U eShop titles (we’re authorized Wii U developers now btw – excite!).”

Bravely Default details: SpotPass support and more

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

More Bravely Default: Flying Fairy details are included in the latest issue of Jump.

First up, there will be SpotPass support (hopefully this wasn’t mistranslated…). Players will see Norende Village’s resident count rise through SpotPass and Internet transfers. With a higher population, the town’s recovery will improve.

Jump also has the first information on “Crystal Spirits.” They’ll be joining Anies as he looks to free the crystals.

Although Bravely Default will be missing out on the Tokyo Game Show in playable form, Square Enix is readying yet another demo, which should be out soon. If TGS attendees have the demo downloaded and bring along their 3DS, they’ll be able to exchange data with the development team.
