Next Thursdays is Valentine’s Day. You can celebrate the event by purchasing Dig Dug. Okay… the two are completely unrelated, but indeed: Dig Dug will be out on the North American 3DS eShop next week. Pricing will be set at $3.99.

Rayman Legends is now multiplatform, but the move won’t have much of an effect on Ubisoft’s future Wii U support.

CEO Yves Guillemot told IGN that the company has “a pipeline”of high-quality games coming to the console. Guillemot did not provide any specifics about the future, only pointing to Rayman Legends – a game that was delayed from release this month to September.

Guillemot also stated that Nintendo “will make the necessary changes to the machine to make sure that it continues to grow fast on the market.”

“We have a pipeline of games of very high quality coming on that machine, like Rayman Legends, which makes fantastic use of what the machine can do. …they (Nintendo) will make the necessary changes to the machine to make sure that it continues to grow fast on the market.”

Pier Solar and the Great Architects has been confirmed for Wii U. We don’t know when it’s coming, but the team is hard at work on the project.

One of the game’s developers, Gwénaël “Fonzie” Godde, discussed what it’s like working with the Wii U system:

“Although the main game logic in modern platforms share the same code, some features are exclusive to each platforms. Wii U has many interesting features and we want to be able to make good use of them. Hopefully, it will be a great surprise.”

Pier Solar will make use of the GamePad’s various features, according to Tulio Goncalves:

“Yes of course. Wii U feels like a ‘TV version’ of Nintendo DS, and as we’ve seen in the handheld, many possibilities can be explored. However, we’ve got to be careful when designing those functionalities. As everyone knows, one of the great features of Wii U is the ability to switch gameplay from the TV to the Wii U controller screen; in that case it has to behave just like as if you were playing with the regular controller, so those functions have to be non-vital functions to the game.”

Pier Solar is heading to Wii U… but could we ever see it on the 3DS eShop? Goncalves and Fonzie commented on the possibility:

Tulio: The 3DS resolution doesn’t favor the original resolution and aspect of the SD version of Pier Solar. If a port gets made it will be the HD version scaled to 3DS resolution.

Fonzie: Either way, having PS HD in 3DS would be great. However, first we must focus on all the platforms that we announced on Kickstarter. We have lots of motivation but we’re still a small dev team!

And last but not least, Fonzie discussed WaterMelon’s future projects:

“We are working on a few other projects at the moment through the Magical Game Factory. We got one Mega Drive beat ’em up and RPG project and one Super Nintendo action-adventure project, as well as few surprises!”
