During a presentation held at WWX2015 in France, Level Up Labs announced that the OpenFL framework is in the works for consoles, including Wii U and 3DS.

OpenFL-supported programs are created with the Haxe language and can be used to create different types of applications/Flash movies. It’s already supported on platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.

OpenFL demos are already compiling and running on Wii U. 3DS will be supported as well, though the team is currently awaiting its dev kit.

During the latest episode of The Giant Beastcast, Giant Bomb co-founder Jeff Gerstman spoke about a conversation he had with the Skylanders SuperChargers development team. Gerstman asked one of the game’s staffers about the possibility of amiibo support. While this person said that Activision and Vicarious Visions are focusing on what they’re showing at the event, he also said: “We’ll have a big surprise at E3.”

That’s an interesting response for sure. Does it mean that Skylanders SuperChargers will make use of amiibo? Only time will tell! Fortunately E3 is just on the horizon.
