Back in February, RCMADIAX teased a new project with the tentative title “Project Fist”. It was tentatively slated for Wii U, New 3DS, and NX as a 2018 release.

RCMADIAX has now announced via its Twitter account that Project Fist has been cancelled. The explanation simply states that the indie developer has “decided not to go forward with a project of that size.”

The Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle came to a close today after launching two weeks ago. There’s no question that it surpassed last year’s Humble Nindie Bundle, and the final stats are definitely impressive.

Here are the results:

Total payments: roughly $1,576,000
Number of purchases: ~162,000
Average purchase: $9.74
Top three contributors: Anonymous ($300), 13AM Games ($251), Nintendo’s Damon Baker ($250)

How does that stack up to the Humble Nindie Bundle? Let’s take a look:

Total payments: roughly $750,000
Number of purchases: ~82,500
Average purchase: $9.18
Top three contributors: Nintendo’s Damon Baker ($500), PlayEveryWare ($225), Choice Provisions ($200)

Looking at the stats, the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle sold about two times more than the Humble Nindie Bundle. It’s good news for all parties involved!

Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition by Axol Studio is another title we’ve heard about from Ratalakia. We knew the port was coming to 3DS, but a Wii U version is now confirmed as well. The goal is to have the game complete during the first half of this year.

Nintendo first gave Humble Bundle a shot last May, and returned to the service a couple of weeks ago with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. There was quite a bit of planning involved, as Humble Bundle co-founder John Graham told Nintendo Life that talks about a second promotion began right after the first one drew to a close.

He said:

“I think right after the first promotion ended, and we had seen over $750,000 come in for developers and charity across 82,000 purchases in two weeks, we began trading ideas and plans for the next promotion.”

Graham also mentioned that he hopes to see Nintendo bundles “continue to blossom into a more frequently recurring tradition.” Aside from that, he noted that his “expectations have been exceeded” with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle.
