For Wii, Deep Silver didn’t exactly throw a lot of support at the system. But the publisher did give the console Cursed Mountain, one of the few “mature” Wii games at the time.

‘The Adventures of Dash’ is yet another kickstarter game that might come to Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

When Nintendo said they were trying to be indie friendly (or rather, indie developers said Nintendo was trying to be indie friendly), I was honestly pretty skeptical given the Big N’s past with digital download shops, but today yet another game developer has said they’ll likely bring their next game to the Wii U if they reach their Kickstarter goal.

“We are already licensed Nintendo developers and have Wii U dev kits that we’ll be using to get it up and running on Wii U. If we get funded we will try to bring it to as many platforms as possible with the funds we get and will use the profits from the game to bring it to consoles we couldn’t afford prior. Long story short, yes, we hope to bring it to the Wii U as quickly as possible.”

– Robotoki statement

Robotoki’s game The Adventures of Dash is a really artistically interesting sidescrolling puzzle game that’s coming to PC in the future, and I would be completely okay with seeing it hit Wii U as well! I absolutely love how many developers we’re seeing say “Yea, we’ll definitely try and bring our game to Wii U”, and I can’t help but feel a teeny tiny bit of extra joy that they’re only mentioning Wii U as of now– no other systems. Nintendo might finally be doing download shops correctly!

Another Castle creator mulling over “tiny, quirky project” for Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

David Byers, the sole creator of Another Castle, is currently hard at work on completing the platformer. But what lies ahead for the future?

While he can’t officially confirm anything at present, Byers is thinking about “making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U.” It wouldn’t be a platformer like Another Castle, and it would “look completely different”.

“I’m considering making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U. Mainly just for fun. I don’t have any specific plans yet, all I know is it won’t be a platformer, and it will look completely different from Another Castle.”

Minecraft for Wii U no more/less likely than other versions

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Mojang’s Jens Bergensten was quoted as saying earlier this week that a Wii U version of Minecraft is “very unlikely.” But his words weren’t intended to be looked upon as a big negative for Nintendo’s console.

Bergensten has since clarified that when it comes to bringing Minecraft to new platforms, “Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”

“The reason I said that is that the Wii U hasn’t even been mentioned when we’re talking about Minecraft platforms. However, I’m only responsible for the PC and Pocket editions, so the question wasn’t mine to answer. The Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”

Would Minecraft on Wii U be something that you guys would like to see?

Team Meat would work with Nintendo if Meat Boy was added to Smash Bros. roster

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii Shop Channel | 0 comments

Team Meat could support Nintendo platforms in the future… under one condition. Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, the studio’s primary staffers, want to see Meat Boy in a Smash Bros. game. If the character made it into the upcoming Wii U/3DS releases, Team Meat would be more than happy to make Mew-Genics – the company’s next game – for Nintendo.

McMillen: “I want Meat Boy to be in Smash Bros. That would be the one reason I’d really want to develop for a Nintendo console.”
Refenes: “That would be amazing! If they could guarantee us Meat Boy would be in Smash Bros., we would do something.”
McMillen: “Nintendo are you listening? Smash Bros! We would ask for nothing in return. Just f***ing use the character. Put him in the game. It’s free!”
Refenes: “If they wanted Mew-Genics or something and they could promise us Meat Boy would be in the game we’d develop Mew-Genics for them. Not exclusively, of course. This is how they would buy it from us. And that’s a very cheap price.”
