There hasn’t been a new Road Rash entry in well over a decade. DarkSeas Games is looking to remedy the situation with a unique take on the series.

On Kickstarter, DarkSeas is looking to gather $160,000 in total in order to create “Road Redemption”. The developer says that the game will provide players with “state-of-the-industry combat controls, insane crashes, destructible environments, AI, ragdoll physics and online multiplayer.” DarkSeas also promises a whole slew of mission types, varied arsenal, and more.

Road Redemption is strictly a PC, Mac, and Linux game at present. However, DarkSeas will consider versions for the Wii U as well as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360.

You can find more information about Road Redemption here.

Sunbreak Games launched a Kickstarter for Buddy & Me in March. After receiving requests from Nintendo fans as well as journalists, the indie dev has now added in a Wii U version to the campaign as a stretch goal. Buddy & Me will officially come to the Wii U eShop if Sunbreak manages to raise $55,000 on Kickstarter.

A wise man once said, “don’t ever forget where you came from.” For the past few weeks, I’ve received a flood of questions and comments from journalists and Nintendo fans from the Metroid Prime days, asking whether or not we would consider a Nintendo version. The game’s characters and play would be a great fit in the Nintendo world, and the touch-screen gameplay would lend itself well to the Wii U’s unique controller. But most importantly, I’ve felt really touched at how enthusiastic and appreciative these loyal fans have been to reach out, to talk about how much those games meant to them, and remind me of some of the most inspiring and influential times of my career. Guys and gals, this one’s for you: We’ve added Wii U eShop support as an official Stretch Goal, at the $55,000 funding mark!

Getting to that mark may be difficult. Only $14,000 has been raised out of the desired $40,000 total, and only a week remains for fundraising.

But hey, now that Nintendo fans are aware that Buddy & Me has a strong shot of heading to the Wii U, perhaps we’ll see a big rise in contributions.

Namco Bandai is keeping all mainline Tales entries on the PlayStation 3 for the time being. That’s because the franchise’s “main target audience” lies within the system.

Tales series producer Hideo Baba has already praised the Wii U, calling it “brilliant“. Therefore, “if it becomes more and more successful in the future”, Baba can see an entry possibly landing on the Wii U.

Baba told Destructoid:

“Our main target audience for the Tales franchise is still ultimately Japan, so when we make a game we want to target our main fanbase. So we like the idea of the Wii U — we think it’s a great system — and if it becomes more and more successful in the future that’s a console we would like to tap eventually, but for the time being we don’t have any plans and we are focused on maintaining our fanbase on PlayStation 3. It’s not really about our opinions on whether or not it’s a good system; ultimately it becomes a question of, ‘What consoles do our fans have?'”

For those unaware (like I was until this morning!), Nintendo used to host something they called “Nintendo Games Seminar” at the University of Japan where they would help and encourage aspiring game developers to make games of higher quality with a higher success rate. It was a way for Nintendo to not only influence the direction that young developers would take with their careers, but also to find new talent to hire when the seminar was over. Now, they’re restarting the program:

– Seminar will run from July 2013 to March 2014
– Must be an under/post-graduate student at a University in or around Tokyo or Osaka
– 12 participants per location (Tokyo/Osaka)
– Choose between programming, graphic design, or sound
– Seminar will focus on developing games with Nintendo’s “Web Framework”
– More details on May 13th

The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation contains a promotion for its upcoming Nintendo sister publication. On April 20, the first ever edition of Dengeki Nintendo will be published. Included in the ad is a teaser indicating that GungHo’s Puzzle and Dragons will be coming to a Nintendo platform.

News has since leaked that the series is heading to the 3DS – specifically Puzzle & Dragons Z. We don’t have the specifics just yet, but I imagine that we’ll be hearing something more concrete soon.
