In an extremely close call, Popup Dungeon’s Kickstarter has reached a grand total of $102 455 with PayPal backers meaning that it is now officially coming to Wii U. Enrique Dryere of Triple.B.Titles had this to say about the final total:

“Thank you, everyone,“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We never expected to reach $100,000, but thanks to your help and support, we’ve made it, and we’ll be doing everything we can to bring you a Wii U version as fast as possible.”
“I can’t describe how much this means to us. You’ve made it possible for us to live our dream, and in return we will give you the best game we can possibly make. We’ll be working as hard as we cane, day and night, to bring Popup Dungeon to you as quick as possible. Well, most of us will be working hard…”
“I truly hope our game will live up to all of your expectations.”

Being a port of the PC version, the developers hope to get the release out sometime in 2015 at the earliest. It will be an eShop release with some bonus features exclusive to the Wii U.

Today’s screenshot and caption are… Well, just great:

Under certain circumstances, the creatures on this planet appear to grow larger and go berserk. The Pikmin and I must be cautious lest we lose our heads to these beasts.

Photos with Mario now available in North America

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments

Update: Added in online versions that can be printed out and used with the app (via AR Cards Database, thanks choco!). These also include Koopa Troopa, Luigi, and Bowser images.

Photos with Mario is out now on the North American 3DS eShop (despite an odd July 9th, 1981 release date listing). Previously, the software launched in Japan in April of last year.

Photos with Mario is an application that allows users to take pictures with characters from the franchise. It can only be used with special-edition $10 Mario, Peach, and Goomba eShop cards.

You might be wondering: how exactly does one obtain one of these cards? I may just be blanking out here, but as far as I’m aware, Yoshi is the only character featured on a $10 voucher. Perhaps the original Mario, Peach, and Goomba cards will be released in the near future? They’ll supposedly be sold at Target (if they aren’t already available).
