Those hoping to replay some of the SNES’s best fighters again on Wii U shouldn’t hold their breath, as Mortal Kombat series co-creater Ed Boon recently confirmed on Twitter that such ports are not in the works. From his Twitter:

RT @RickyV831 @noobde I know this is a long shot but are there any plans 2 release SNES versions of MK1-3 on WiiU Virtual Console? EB: 0.0%

Renegade Kid starts work on “new experimental 2D game for 3DS”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

In the wake of its unsuccessful Kickstarter for Cult County, Renegade Kid has moved on to begin work on “a new experimental 2D game for 3DS.”

Studio co-founder Jools Watsham tweeted the news, but didn’t offer any additional nuggets. He did confirm, however, that Kickstarter won’t be involved with this new project.

Watsham said:

As part of our healing process after the KS failure, we're developing a new experimental 2D game for 3DS. It has pixels and stuff. No cults.

@DonaldMick Haha, no kickstarter with this one, no. 🙂

@EdEN_Zr When it is ready to show, I will be happy to talk about it for sure.
