Looking for the latest information on Renegade Kid’s projects? Then keep your eyes peeled during PAX East. Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has said the studio “will have some new 3DS and Wii U goodness to reveal” when the event takes place in late March.
Watsham didn’t elaborate on any planned announcements, but maybe we’ll see a new game or two.
Two Tribes still considering RUSH for Wii U, EDGE as well
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Back in July, Two Tribes tweeted that it was thinking about bringing RUSH to Wii U. That’s still very much a possibility, and the studio could also look to release its other WiiWare puzzler, EDGE, on the console.
Two Tribes said today:
Now that Toki Tori 2 is in the final stages it’s time to look ahead. We’re thinking of bringing our cube games EDGE and RUSH to Wii U too.

Speaking about RUSH, Two Tribes commented that the TV could act as the optional display:
For RUSH we may end up making the TV the optional display, instead of the other way around which a lot of games are doing.

Renegade Kid notes: ATV Wild Ride 3D, Mutant Mudds Deluxe
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has been tweeting about two of the studio’s upcoming projects throughout the day.
ATV Wild Ride 3D will be released in Europe, in case anyone had any doubt. When the game launches, it’ll be $10 or less. Online play and rankings are included.
Watsham also commented about Mutant Mudds Deluxe. The new content being included in the title will be exclusive to Wii U. Its levels (and any other additions) will not be ported to the 3DS version, PC and iOS editions, or any other platform.

Fez will be ported to other platforms in 2013
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
After many years of development, Fez finally came out on the Xbox Live Arcade earlier this year. But developer Polytron isn’t stopping with just one release. According to creator Phil Fish, Fez will be ported to new platforms in 2013.
Fish wrote on the Polytron website today:
2013 is going to be an interesting one, too.
For one, FEZ will finally be ported to other platforms.
Yes, i’ve heard you, dozens of people emailing me everyday telling me how much of an idiot i am for not porting FEZ to everything.
Fish didn’t give any hints as to which systems Fez will land on. Surely though, platforms such as the Wii U eShop are among the realistic possibilities.

Zen Pinball 2 now targeted for January
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Given that Zen Pinball 2 didn’t land on the Wii U eShop on Thursday, there was no way it’d be released this month. So when will it launch, then?
Developer Zen Studios told one fan on Twitter that the game will be released in January. Let’s just hope there aren’t any further delays.
