Eurogamer recently caught up with Phil Gaskell, creative director and co-founder of Ripstone. Gaskell shared some insight into the company’s relationship with Nintendo and noted how the Big N has been “a lot swifter” in changing its technical policies.

Specifically, Ripstone was told very quickly that cross-play is supported – even with non-Nintendo systems. Therefore Wii U and 3DS owners will be able to play Pure Chess with iOS and Android users online. Ripstone is also looking into the possibility of supporting the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita with cross-play.

According to Gaskell:

Working with a publisher isn’t something that Comcept is forced to consider. Thanks to generous donations received on Kickstarter, the game can be released independently.

But let’s talk hypotheticals. Say Capcom were to approach creator Keiji Inafune and the team at Comcept about handling publishing duties. Is this something Inafune would be open to? To put it simply: yes.

Inafune told Game Informer this month:

“I would hear their terms. If they had the best terms, I would go with Capcom. There is no reason not to publish with Capcom, and I certainly don’t feel like there’s a reason that I have to publish with Capcom. Literally, it would be a very cut-and-dried business negotiation. If they had the best terms, the logical businessman in me would say, ‘Yes, let’s go with them.'”

What would make Capcom publishing Mighty No. 9 particularly interesting is how Inafune would be returning to the company he started out with (and eventually left), in a sense. But again, the game could very well end up without a publisher – and no one would really mind that.

The Fall has reached its Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter. That target was set at $29,000, but more than $35,000 CAD has been raised in the campaign thus far.

It may not have actually mattered had The Fall missed out on its Wii U stretch goal. Previously, developer Over the Moon gave a strong indication that the game would come to the eShop before the necessary funds were obtained.

The Wii U version of The Fall “just shortly after the initial PC/Mac release,” according to Over the Moon.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Toki Tori 2’s level editor, long thought to be coming to Wii U, isn’t necessarily something that may make its way to the platform.

A Miiverse message from the studio’s Martijn Reuver indicates that “the Wii U level editor is unfortunately in the fridge” while Two Tribes focuses on “a new game concept”. Reuver did later say that he’s hopeful that the feature will eventually make its way to Wii U.

Continuing on the topic of Two Tribe’s next game, Martijn posted the image above along with the following:

A quick sneak preview of our new game (work in progress)… What do you think?

No matter what Two Tribes’ next title is, it sounds like the studio will be seeking funding through Kickstarter:

Gameware Europe’s Kickstarter for its new James Pond project has ended. The campaign had until October 20 to raise a total of £100,000, but it seemed like funds would fall well short of that goal.

Now the question is, what’s the future of James Pond? Gameware doesn’t seem to be giving up, as the company acknowledged in a new update “that there sure is still a lot of love for this plucky secret agent fish and we believe it’ll only take the right game and the right campaign to make James Pond 4 a reality.”

“But is this the end for Pond? We sure hope not! If there’s one thing we’ve learned from running this campaign it’s that there sure is still a lot of love for this plucky secret agent fish and we believe it’ll only take the right game and the right campaign to make James Pond 4 a reality. So stay tuned and we will be back with more news soon.”
