Midora, Epic Minds’ 2D action-adventure game, has been put on hold. You may recall that the project was funded on Kickstarter last year, and was planned for both Wii U and 3DS.

Epic Minds explained in a website update that “the money we raised was never enough to begin with” and more developers are needed. The team is “not bankrupt, but we know for sure we do not have enough to complete this game.”

So what’s next? Epic Minds is now preparing a completely different title called “Treasure Addicts”, which has “made excellent progress”. Midora is on the backburner for the time being.

Nintendo has now opened an official website for Nikki’s Travel Quiz, confirming that the game is slated for April 21 in Japan for Club Nintendo members (80 points). Access the page here.

Nikki’s Travel Quiz has players traveling across Japan with Nikki, Neko-kun (cat), and Panda-kun (panda). The title features more than 5,000 questions pertaining to Japan, with each prefecture receiving 100 questions each.

Nikki’s Travel Quiz sports two modes. In Travel Quiz, players earn a souvenir by correctly answering questions about the different prefectures. Free Mode lets players take on any questions they desire. Medals are handed out when a certain amount of questions have been answered correctly. Aside from that, you’ll also be able to read up on Nikki’s travel diary.

Nikki’s Travel Quiz takes up 416 blocks of space. View the first screenshots below.
