Armikrog is tentatively scheduled to hit PC, Mac, and Linux in July. A Wii U version is also planned, but it’ll launch at a later date.

When exactly? At the moment, Pencil Test Studios seems to be targeting a fall release.

Producer Luis Gigliotti has also shared a few (vague) words about what Armikrog will offer on Wii U. The team will be implementing “some really cool” features “designed only for that version”.

I cannot say about the specifics [sic] but i can confirm that the WiiU version will have some really cool, WiiU specific features designed only for that version

Also worth mentioning, Gigliotti said the following when asked about a possible 3DS version:

We do want to eventually port the game over to portable consoles, mobile and tablets as well… But we want to make sure we get the PC, Mac, Linux [sic] and WiiU skus done first

North America have only just got access to Photos with Mario, but if you’re curious as to what’s in store, GameXplain have already uploaded some footage for you to check out.

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).

Thanks to Raul and oscar for the tip.

A 3DS version of Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails might be possible. Director Dan Croucher, speaking with Cubed3, said that a version for the handheld isn’t “totally out of the question”.

He said:

Nothing’s totally out of the question! 3DS is an amazing system, and we’d love to try it out, but we want to see how things go on Wii U first.

Croucher also spoke about Dakko Dakko’s future plans as well. There are “loads of ideas” regarding a Scram Kitty sequel along with ideas for brand new projects.

We have many plans for the future, partly depending on how Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails is received. We have loads of ideas for a sequel, and loads of ideas for new games, so we’ll have to see how thing pan out.
