Bringing the game over “from PC/windows environment to Wii U has been a straight forward process since the project is being built on top of Unity and the team porting Unity to Wii U have obviously been doing a great job,” it was explained.

And regarding the game’s technical aspects:

Without getting into minutia that we’re probably not allowed to share in great detail, some things that worked on PC couldn’t be ported exactly Wii U without having affecting how the game performs on the Nintendo console–and probably other consoles, too. However, we’re very happy with the results. Fidelity, image quality and a smooth framerate are our priorities. Detractors note, Wii U is proving very capable of running the game at 60fps at 720p with 4xMSAA and FXAA resulting in a crystal clear image. It’s simply beautiful.

The lead programmer on ’90s Arcade Racer has been busy working on the game’s AI, among other elements. Ultimately, the goal is to support 30 cars in each race.

The ’90s Arcade Racer doesn’t have a release date at this time, though mid-2014 is currently targeted.

Spearhead was interested in releasing Wii U version of Tiny Brains, but had issues communicating with Nintendo

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments

In recent memory, almost all feedback concerning Nintendo’s approach to indies has been positive. So it’s a bit surprising to learn that one developer had a disappointing exerpeice with the company, and ultimately wasn’t able to launch its game on the eShop.

Spearhead’s Simon Darveau and Malik Boukhira told Destructoid that the studio originally hoped to bring Tiny Brains to Wii U. Darveau explained that Spearhead “never seem to find an avenue to get on the Wii U,” in large part due to the difficulties in getting in proper contact with Nintendo.
