This is a situation that Nintendo fans should be accustomed to by now. A small developer is making a game, and has strong interest in bringing it to the Wii U eShop.

The title in question this time around is “Super Comboman”, a project that was already fully-funded on Kickstarter late last year.

Interabang Entertainment’s Justin Woodward describes Super Comboman as a “2D physics based action brawler that is a mix between Final Fight, Smash Bros. and Marvel Vs Capcom”. Players use “combo momentum” in various ways, including puzzle solving, environment destruction, and enemy takedowns.

When we last heard about the game, Interabang and Nintendo had been… talking. Now a Wii U eShop release sounds much more likely, though nothing is set in stone.

Woodward said that the team is “extremely interested” when it comes to bringing Super Comboman to Nintendo’s console:

We are extremely interested in porting Super Comboman to Wii U but we would need more interest to do another crowd-funding campaign.

Right now, we are interested in getting the Nintendo audience involved with our development and to see what we need to do in order to either launch a Nintendo-focused crowd-funding campaign or just figure out how to fund the port ourselves after the game is completed.

Namco Bandai is preparing a special limited edition release of Project X Zone, and it won’t cost fans anything extra.

Those who pre-order or purchase Project X Zone at launch will automatically receive Project X Zone Limited Edition. It includes “a mini-art book and poster featuring the characters and famous gaming franchises represented in the game and a music CD featuring the high tempo music featured in Project X Zone.” Namco Bandai doesn’t actually say how limited the package is, strangely.

Project X Zone will be available in North America on June 25 and Europe on July 5. You can guarantee yourself a copy of the limited edition by pre-ordering here.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch launched in North America and Europe earlier this year. To be clear, this was the PlayStation 3 game – the DS version never made it overseas, in part due to the lengthy book that accompanied the game’s original release in Japan.

You may remember that Ni no Kuni originally started out on the DS before the PS3. Given that, could a follow-up or some kind of port for the 3DS be in the cards?

One Namco Bandai exectuive wouldn’t rule out the possibility when asked by Pocket Gamer. However, in order for something like this to happen, fans would need to show interest.
