In case you haven’t heard, Tanukii Studios has just started development on a sequel to Go! Go! Kokopolo. CIRCLE Entertainment is the game’s publisher as was the case with the original DSiWare title.

“Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D – Space Recipe for Disaster” begins as Kokopolo, Tatsumo and Jinbe, each stumble upon a piece of a magical stone tablet from space. The characters decided to search for the remaining piece in hopes of attaining immortality.

The game will offer 80 new stages, 10 new boss fights, and more. Players will be able to take on the role of multiple characters with unique routes. Deserts, castles, factories, scrap yards, and space are among Kokopolo 3D’s environments.

Whenever it’s finished, Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D – Space Recipe for Disaster will be available on the eShop.

Shin’en boss Manfred Linzner has offered some high praise for the Wii U’s hardware.

In an interview with ONM, Linzner delivered encouraging sentiments that the console is easy to develop for and its power can be utilized properly. He said that the studio was able to easily run a fairly complex game world containing “thousands of animated objects”.

According to Linzner:

“The Wii U hardware has a great architecture and, most importantly, it is easy for developers to utilise its power. For instance, we have a very action-heavy game with literally thousands of animated objects, but had no problems rendering the complete gameworld, twice, for the Wii U controller display in two-player mode.”

Linzner later made a suggestion for Nintendo. He feels that the company should re-release Wii software for the new console in HD. These games, Linzer believes, “would look and play better than many current titles.”

“You could easily take many original Wii titles from Retro Studios or Nintendo and release them again in HD and they would look and play better than many current titles. I believe that the most important resource in game development is the developers, rather than the actual hardware.”
