Three Mega Man games are now up for purchase on the Wii U eShop. Gamers can purchase Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, and Mega Man 4. I suppose all three have gone live to celebrate Mega Man’s inclusion in Smash Bros.!

Renegade Kid is planning on bringing Mutant Mudds 2 to the 3DS eShop as well as the Wii U eShop when the game launches. Although a Wii U version isn’t completely certain, studio co-founder Jools Watsham said that “it is safe to assume that Mutant Mudds 2 will be on both 3DS and Wii U.”

“Yes, I think it is safe to assume that Mutant Mudds 2 will be on both 3DS and Wii U. But, if one platform released before the other, it will be the 3DS that sports Max’s new adventure first. Max knows where his roots are.”

Mutant Mudds started out on the 3DS eShop. It eventually made its way to PC, iOS, and ultimately the Wii U eShop.

It’s amazing how a situation can turn around in the span of a generation. Whereas developers were constantly down on Nintendo’s handling of WiiWare, praise couldn’t be higher when it comes to the eShop.

Capybara Games’ Nathan Vella is the latest to speak positively about Nintendo’s approach to indies. Vella told VG247 that the company is ” making a big move to try and get smaller, unique, independent games on Wii U downloadable.” Vella also spoke highly of Dan Edelman who is essentially in charge of all things downloadable at Nintendo of America.

Vella said:

“I’ve seen personally, first-hand, Nintendo making a big move to try and get smaller, unique, independent games on Wii U downloadable. They have a really great team there; Dan Edelman who runs that division is one of the raddest dudes in video games, and I would say easily one of the most respected people by the independent community. Nintendo is reaching out and trying to do something. They’re playing catch up, obviously, and that’s a hard spot to be in when it comes to getting the new stuff, but they’re really putting in.”

Can this “12-bit” platformer still stack up now that it’s in HD?

System: Nintendo Wii U
Release Date: June 13th, 2013
Developer: Renegade Kid
Publisher: Renegade Kid

Author: Austin

There was something exceptionally captivating about Mutant Mudds when it released on 3DS back in January of 2012. I think, for me, the combination of slower-paced platforming and old school difficulty that Renegade Kid created scratched an itch that few games do, so naturally I was quite pleased upon hearing the announcement of an HD re-release for Max and his muddy rivals on Wii U.

It has been a long and arduous wait (the game was meant to hit Wii U much closer to launch after all), but I’ve finally got my hands on all 80 levels of Mutant Mudds Deluxe and I must report: It’s every bit as good as you’d think.
