Mighty No. 9 has updated their community page and posted some new pictures to give us an idea of what the production process looks like.

Hi again, Mighties! Reward manager Jon here, back with another glimpse into the rewards production process!

We’ve been working on all of the rewards in tandem, but probably the biggest challenge has been production of the art book/strategy guide. In terms of hours invested, materials needed and parties involved, it’s taken more effort to plan, prepare and execute than almost all of the other rewards combined!

Check out the screenshots below!

Doodle Dash, which was first announced last August, now has a more specific release window. Pocket Dragon Games has confirmed that its game will launch on the Wii U eShop this summer in North America. There are also plans to bring out Doodle Dash in Europe “as close to the North American release as possible.”

Pocket Dragon Games is now starting to show Doodle Dash’s various mini-games. The first is titled “Night Watch”. Read on below for an official description of Night Watch from Doodle Dash’s lead designer, and screenshots can be found above.

“Hey! Brandon here! Lead Designer for Doodle Dash! I’ll be the first to detail the minigame I’ve been working on lately! It’s called Night Watch. You play as a group of hooligans come to vandalize an art museum after hours. A lone security guard patrols to stop your handiwork. As he paces the screen, if you draw while he is suspicious, he will erase everything you have done so far! Have the players who are guessing warn you when he is getting close! The art is still mostly placeholder for now but the game is pretty dang fun! Stay tuned for more posts from the other designers!”

The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup has been in the works for about two years. However, it sounds like the project still has quite a bit of development remaining before it’s completed.

In an interview with Retro, Gory Detail’s Chris Seavor said that creation of Rusty Pup is going well. There’s currently a plan in place to have the title launch by the end of this year, though it may slip to 2016 “if the game is not ready”.

Seavor’s full comments are as follows:

It’s going really well at the moment. We’ve got all the major mechanics in place now and everything seems to work fine. As usual (due to my slightly erratic approach to design), lots of new and interesting ones also fell out during the process. It’s also looking lovely if I do say so myself, way beyond our initial expectations for the game, which I’ll be showing off some sneak peeks soon in our first, somewhat informal “dev diary” on the Gory Detail blog. Everyone should check that out.

I’ve learned a long time ago to try not to stick to deadlines. If you don’t have any deadlines, then you can’t miss them.

I’m being facetious, a little. We are heading for a release window by the end of this year, but if the game is not ready, then obviously we won’t release. Needless to say, every day we get something new done. A bug gets fixed and progress is being made.

I’m very excited about Rusty Pup. I think it’s got some interesting ideas, both in terms of narrative and how we’ve approached the traditional puzzle platformer genre. It won’t be for everyone, which is just fine, because if it was (if that’s even possible), then I’d have failed miserably as a designer.

Affordable Space Adventures now has a price point. The game will cost $19.99 / €18.99 / £16.99, KnapNok Games has confirmed.

Regarding Affordable Space Adventure’s price, KnapNok Games CEO Dajana Dimovska said:

Setting a price has been tricky for us. There is a lot of great games on the eShop selling for around $15, but they are either ports from other platforms, or games that could be easily ported to other platforms at a later date. Affordable Space Adventures is uniquely designed specifically for the Wii U system and the GamePad, we have to earn all our revenue in the eShop.

There is such a great community surrounding the Wii U and people are super excited whenever a good game is coming to the platform; I am sure that people are willing to pay a few extra bucks to get a game that has been tailor made for the hardware.

We are pretty certain that this game will not see a price drop or a discount at least until after the summer. We totally understand that some people have a limited budget for games. If these people are willing to wait and buy the game in the fall, to save some dollars, we are cool with that. I just can’t promise anything about when or how much. The only thing I can promise is that the game will stay full price during this spring and summer.

Affordable Space Adventures launches on April 9 on the Wii U eShop.

Update: In a strange twist, it seems that despite some games like Metroid Fusion containing a 3DS label, they can only be downloaded on Wii U. So no Ambassador games after all? Someone at Nintendo seems to have messed up!

Take a look at this photo in case it’s unclear:

Club Nintendo Europe has just been updated with an onslaught of digital rewards.

There’s plenty of games to choose from on both Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo has added eShop-made titles, as well as Virtual Console releases. Perhaps most surprisingly, it’s possible to obtain games that were previously only available for 3DS Ambassadors.

You can find the full set of games here.
