Wii U

Xander Davis, a former member of Vigil and a developer on Darksiders II, made some incredibly critical comments about the Wii U last August – going as far as to call it “a $400 Xbox 360 seven years late”. Davis has since changed his tune, however.

In a new blog post, Davis discussed how Nintendo made him a believer in Wii U. Davis had lots of praise for the company’s approach to indies, stating that “Nintendo has set the bar for their support and terms to make indie development very attractive.”

At the moment, Davis and his studio Astrogun are working on the indie game CIDER. Fans have previously requested the title on Wii U. With Davis’ new interest in the system, perhaps we’ll see it on the eShop one day.

This is rather peculiar. For some odd reason, Miiverse users aren’t able to post screenshots on communities for Square Enix’s Virtual Console titles.

The restriction only appears to be in place for Square Enix’s classic games. As far as we can tell, all other VC titles fully support the screenshot function.
