Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is finally coming to the North American Wii U eShop this coming Thursday. But what about 3DS? Thankfully, we can say with certainty that the game is still planned for the portable as well.

I also inquired about the possibility of cross-buy support between the Wii U and 3DS versions of Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures. FreakZone sounds hopeful in making that happen!
@NE_Brian I don't know yet, but I hope so.

Color Bombs will be RCMADIAX’s last Wii U game
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
RCMADIAX announced on Twitter today that Color Bombs will be the developer’s final title for Wii U.
“I’ll still be making games, but will be moving to a one or two game per year cycle to focus more on quality,” RCMADIAX said on Twitter. “Re-branding and trying to get rid of the ‘cheap trash game’ stigma that I have now been pegged with since Spikey Walls. I still plan to support the WiiU eShop with promotions, updates, etc. But sadly I had to stop production on some projects.”
Super Robo Mouse, which was one of the earliest Wii U titles RCMADIAX revealed for the eShop, is no longer planned for the system. The studio pointed to several reasons for this, including the fact that “The game’s later levels have really suffered in terms of performance.” Creator Michael Aschenbrenner explained, “I tried optimizing, but it meant I had to remove things.”
You can find a roundup of RCMADIAX’s tweets below.
