The project’s Kickstarter campaign recently added a stretch goal for the portable. But even if it isn’t reached, Cardboard Robot Games hopes to bring Pocket Rumble to the 3DS following the PC/Mac/Linux release. Full patch support is promised, and the 3DS version could support online multiplayer as well.

You can find Cardboard Robot Games’ message concerning the 3DS version below. Visit the official Kickstarter page here.

The campaign will need some generous funds to reach its $16,000 goal. Just four days remain, and a little over $5,000 has been raised thus far.

Black Forest Games bringing all future games to Wii U, interested in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams for 3DS

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams developer Black Forest Games intends to fully support Wii U going forward. All of the company’s future games will be brought to the console, and simultaneous releases are planned – meaning there won’t be any sort of delay for Wii U versions.

Black Forest Games is also interested in the 3DS. In fact, according to managing director Adrian Goersch, the studio is interested in bringing Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams to the handheld.

Goersch told Nintendo Life:

“We are planning to bring every game we develop to the Wii U as well, and we are planning for simultaneous releases. So no delay for Nintendo fans. 3DS is something we would like to do for Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams one day.”

Conatus Creative interested in Wii U, 3DS versions of River City Ransom: Underground

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

River City Ransom: Underground has a shot of landing on both the Wii U and 3DS. Conatus Creative expressed quite a bit of interest in both systems when we recently approached the studio.

When asked about a potential release on Nintendo’s platforms, founder Daniel Crenna told us:

Our original game plan was: focus on funding on Windows, forget about stretch goals until we’re there, then talk about more platforms. But, all good plans…
We decided PS4 based on information we had at the time and what’s possible for us technically, but we want people to know that we want this on every platform, especially consoles like WiiU and handhelds like 3DS. So, whether we do it in a stretch goal (and we may not reach our first based on our current trajectory) or we do it funded by sales of our Windows release, the platform story doesn’t end with this Kickstarter.
As long as we ship a great game, and have strong numbers and a good relationship with our licensor, then we will have all the incentive we need to keep working on this game on as many platforms as possible, including River City Ransom’s original home on Nintendo.

Conatus Creative launched its Kickstarter last week in order to fund River City Ransom: Underground. Over $67,500 CAD has been raised thus far with three weeks left to go. The campaign’s target is set at $180,000.

Wii U and 3DS included in plans for new James Pond

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

will be reviving the classic SEGA Genesis title James Pond through a Kickstarter campaign this week. Thankfully, both the Wii U and 3DS are included in Gameware’s plans for the project.

Speaking with Nintendo Life, the company’s PJ Belcher said:

We very much believe that Pond belongs on console and the fan base is showing a huge amount of love for the Wii U! The Wii U and 3DS are of course in our project plan, but what platforms we support will be up to the fans. We’re offering a unique opportunity for the backers to vote on which platforms they would most like to see Pond appear on, and they are the ones that we’ll target.
Obviously each platform has its own design considerations beyond a basic port (2nd screen for instance) and we will of course will be looking for ways to make the most of these unique features.
While the Mega Drive / Genesis version of Robocod is possibly the most famous, people have very fond memories of Pond on the SNES — on which it was called Super James Pond — and to see Pond back on that system’s modern equivalent would be awesome!

Nintendo aware of requests for unified accounts, not a barrier for devs

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 28 Comments

If there’s one feature that’s been requested more than any other for the eShop, it’d be unified account. Users on both Wii U and 3DS have requested this functionality so that they don’t have to worry about their games being tied to any hardware they purchase.

Nintendo hasn’t introduced a unified account system for either of its platforms, but according to Nintendo of America’s head of business development Dan Adelman, the company is “very much aware of” the feedback.

Adelman told Destructoid:
