Former Arkedo dev looking to bring F-Zero-esque title “The Next Penelope” to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Arkedo co-founder Aurelien Regard is currently working on “The Next Penelope”. It’s a retro racing title that seems to take inspiration from the likes of F-Zero.
The Next Penelope is being built with the Construct 2 engine, which the Wii U supports. Wouldn’t that make it a perfect fit for the eShop? At the very least, Regard appears to be interested…
@GoNintendoTweet Hi GoNintendo! Thanks for your message! :)
I'm talking with other studios about the WiiU port. I'm trying to find a way!
