Mutant Mudds originally came out on the 3DS as a download title. Now, developer Renegade Kid is looking into making a boxed version of the game available.

Co-founder Jools Watsham wrote on his blog that Kickstarter may very well used as a way to make this happen. He’s still looking into things, but “the first step towards having physical cartridges of Mutant Mudds for the Nintendo 3DS has been taken.”

Watsham’s message reads:

Soul Saga will be making its way to Wii U following funding collected through Kickstarter. The game was guaranteed to be made for the console (as well as the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita) once the goal of $80,000 was reached. That happened just a short while ago, so expect to see Soul Saga on Nintendo’s console sometime in the future.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is currently going for $30.25 on Amazon. I’ll be the first to admit that this isn’t a huge sale – but it’s a discount nonetheless! And with the way Animal Crossing has been selling out of the gate, it’s surprising to see any kind of price drop.

Nintendo has generally been able to pull off impressive usage of the 3DS’ 3D effect in its own games. But not all outside developers are on the same level. That begs the question: is Nintendo willing to help out third-parties in implementing the 3D sensation?

Satoru Iwata, responding to this topic during Nintendo’s latest investor’s meeting, said that the company shares knowledge of how much to separate the eyes’ perspective and put little stress on the eyes – when asked, that is.

Iwata’s comments – in summary form – are posted below.

“Gained lots of know-how on how much to separate eyes’ perspectives and put little stress on the eyes. How successful software has done this is shared both within the company and with other companies when asked. No tool to indicate 3D limit. It’s up to humans to tell what the limit is for 3D volume. Player experience varies depending on the place. Some like low vol., others high. 3D volume adjustable in games, but fixed in downloaded trailers. The non-adjustable volume may not be fulfilling. Up to dev, but supporting.”

“Many ways to use networking, including online play, which requires being on at the same time. Miiverse shares exp.

Third-party Wii U support was a topic discussed by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during the company’s latest investor’s meeting. There isn’t anything too new, but Iwata’s response is posted below.

“There are few 3rd-party titles announced for Wii U, as was said. More support soon would be good, 2 things to do. First: release 1st-party titles one after another starting next month will revitalize the Wii U. Second: make hits out of 3rd-party titles.”
