On consoles and handhelds, Codename Robocod will be a re-imagining of the original. You can expect overhauled visuals and audio “built from the ground up for each format”.
In other news, the promised Kickstarter for a brand new James Pond has launched. You can find it here. The team is looking to raise £100,000, and systems are included as stretch goals.

Masuda still not in favor of a mainline Pokemon RPG for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 5 Comments
When asked about a mainline Pokemon game for Wii U in the past, Game Freak director Junichi Masuda hasn’t been open to the possibility. His thinking is that the RPG games are better-suited for handhelds due to the communication aspects.
Unfortunately, not much has changed. Polygon quizzed Masuda once again about a potential Pokemon Wii U game, Masuda said the following:
“The series was built around the idea of trading Pokemon, trading these creatures, and everything we designed about the games was based on that concept. That trading aspect was also to promote communication between people, and really, you need the handheld to be able to go places in real life, meet people, easily trade and battle with them. I think that’s the reason we designed them on the handheld; it’s really important to Pokemon.”
