3DS eShop

For the first time, Renegade Kid will be supporting a Nintendo console. And there’s good reason: co-founder Jools Watsham sees a bright future ahead for Wii U.

Sharing his thoughts on the system, Watsham said:

“I am certain the Wii U will have an excellent future. The writing is on the wall. It is an excellent console. Nintendo has some amazing titles lined up for future releases. Even though Q1 2013 may have had some issues, I predict that the 2013 holiday season will be huge for the Wii U. Nintendo’s campaign for the Wii U has only just begun.”

Along with Wii U, Renegade Kid will continue to create games for the 3DS eShop. Mutant Mudds 2 has already been confirmed for the platform, but we’ll probably be forced to wait until 2014 before its arrival.

According to Watsham:

“We have a lot of projects going on right now, and Mutant Mudds 2 is one of them. But, it’s going to be a while before we can share any more information on it. Due to our busy schedule, it is looking like Mudds 2 will be a 2014 release.”
