Renegade Kid could bring Moon Chronicles to Wii U if the 3DS version is successful
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Moon Chronicles could eventually make its way to the Wii U, depending on how successful the 3DS version is.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham told NintendoWorldReport that the studio has considered the shooter for Nintendo’s hardware, but it “would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit”. The company would need to be able to “afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.”
Watsham’s comments in full:
Our thoughts have always been primarily on the 3DS version, but we have discussed a Wii U version. That is something that would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit so we could afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.

Big John Games working on Strike Force Foxx for the 3DS eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
Ohno Odyssey developer Big John Games has confirmed its next project, Strike Force Foxx.
The studio tells us that Strike Force Foxx is a side-scrolling chopper attack and rescue game. It mainly focuses on flying an attack helicopter in different missions, ranging from enemy battles to hostage rescues.
Players will be able to upgrade their chopper with new and more powerful weapons. Additionally, they’ll be able to deliver and release a squad into a battle zone to help beat back the enemy while focusing on rescuing hostages.
All of the game’s mission’s are woven into the story, which “harkens back to 80’s action style television shows,” according to Big John Games president Ken Patterson. The plot is “a little over the top but thoroughly enjoyable.”
Big John hopes “people that have enjoyed choplifter style games in the past will find a lot to like in Strike Force Foxx for the 3DS eShop.”
You can find some art from Strike Force Foxx above. Big John is “putting the finishing touches” on the game, so hopefully we’ll be seeing it soon.
