System: Wii U / 3DS (eShop)
Release date: March 17, 2016
Developer: Renegade Kid
Publisher Renegade Kid

Immediately upon playing the first level of Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, I was reminded about how much I loved Renegade Kid’s original 2D platformer. When it released in 2012, it was one of the first great 3DS eShop titles. Super Challenge feels largely like a continuation of the first game’s later levels. It’s telling that it hasn’t been named Mutant Mudds 2 since there isn’t too much new here, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Following its series of puzzle games for Wii U and 3DS, Lightwood Games has announced “Dan McFox: Head Hunter” for Nintendo’s handheld. It’s planned for release sometime in 2016.

Dan McFox: Head Hunter is mainly about looking for people based on descriptions provided to the player – sort of like the Guess Who? board game. You can tackle various assignments and earn up to three stars based on your performance in “Mission Mode”, or catch as many suspects as you can in “Round Up” mode (supports leaderboards). There’s also StreetPass support so that you can take on challenges from others.

You can get a good look at Dan McFox: Head Hunter in Lightwood Games’ video below.

Update: Another tidbit of history from Renegade Kid – a port of Nina Five-O from GBA to DS.

Yesterday, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared on Twitter that the company once pitched a Game Boy Advance port of Demon’s Crest to Capcom. Nothing ever materialized from those early discussions though, as low sales of the SNES version didn’t warrant a port to the handheld.

Watsham also said that Renegade Kid “pitched a lot of things” to Capcom as well as Konami. But much like Demon’s Crest, talks did not progress too far.

Watsham’s tweets are as follows:
