Space Enigma Studios’ new project, Space Pioneer, is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. The team has raised nearly $18,000 of the $150,000 goal with 41 days remaining.
Real world astronauts, writers, artists, designers, and architects are all involved with Space Pioneer. It features a mix of space sim, real-time strategy, and city-building mechanics.
Space Enigma has expressed interest in bringing Space Pioneer to Nintendo’s console, with the studio telling us, “We want Space Pioneer to become the best space based game on Wii U.”
You can find Space Pioneer on Kickstarter here. If the $150,000 target is surpassed, new platforms will be announced for the campaign as stretch goals.

NES Remix has been updated to version 1.1.0 in Japan (and presumably other territories).
After applying the patch, players will be able to use the Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, and Classic Controller Pro. The update also addresses a few issues/bugs present in the game.
Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians will feature a story made up of “mature concepts such as greed and lust, alliances and betrayal, and intrigue and espionage” – among other elements. Better yet, the plot will stay true to Yasumi Matsuno’s previous works.
Playdek said in a recent Kickstarter update:
“We have seen some of you ask for a story that included mature concepts such as greed and lust, alliances and betrayal, and intrigue and espionage to name a few… it looks like you guys are getting exactly what you wished for from Mr. Matsuno!”
Plakdek is expected to share more information on Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians throughout the week, highlighted by a video Q&A on Thursday.
