Futuresco Games has launched a new Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for something called “Coco Returns”. The title, described as “the first ChromaDepth displaying video game ever”, has a chance of coming to Wii U.
Coco Returns needs $4,000 to be fully funded. A Wii U funding goal lies at $75,000.
It’ll come with at least 40 levels, difficulty modes, a scoring system, and more.
There’s a trailer above, but Futuresco warns that all graphics and videos thus far are preliminary and the team is working on improving the graphic art.
You can find more information about Coco Returns on the Indiegogo page here.
“Most of my time today is going into designing new product, but our bandwidth is stretched. So I’m designing a lot of things – two major things. Now I’m not sure which will get started first. If we have the success of New ‘n’ Tasty … let’s say if we can do a million units of New ‘n’ Tasty – I don’t know if that’s completely unrealistic or not because we don’t have advertising money, we don’t have a big publisher pushing it. I think Sony will help us expose it. I think it will be a quality game, but it’s not trying to be Destiny, right?

Siliconera reports that Nintendo intends to bring MonoGame Framework to Wii U. We’ve previously seen the open source tech of the Microsoft XNA 4.x Framework used in titles such as Bastion, Fez, and Skulls of the Shogon.
MonoGame Framework allows for developers to more easily make cross-platform games while re-using code. Other platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows Phone 8, PlayStation Mobile and Ouya, can already use MonoGame Framework.
