BiT: Evolution has a chance of coming to Wii U. The modern-retro platformer will be guaranteed for the console if Kickstarter funds reach £20,000.

Of course, BiT will first need to reach its actual funding target. Roughly £500 of the £9,000 total has been raised thus far.

You can find the official Kickstarter page here.

Tengami will make its playable debut on Wii U at PAX Prime 2013 later this month. It’ll be showcased at the Indie Megabooth.

PAX Prime is taking place between August 30 and September 2 this year.

Originally released on mobile platforms, Momonga Pinball Adventures is now making its way to Wii U.

Momonga Pinball Adventures, as the name suggests, is a pinball game. Players take on the role of a flying squirrel and battle the forces of evil. You’ll be exploring levels, engaging in a story, and fighting bosses.

We should have more details on Momonga Pinball Adventures next week.

A glasses-free 3D patent patent lawsuit between Nintendo and inventor Seijiro Tomita was finally settled earlier this year. The jury ultimately ruled that Nintendo would pay $30.2 million in damages.

However, the award amount has since been cut in half after a US judge determined this week that the original figure was “‘intrinsically excessive’ and unsupported by the evidence presented at trial.” Tomita will have until August 23 to decide whether to accept $15.1 million in damages or proceed to a new damages trial. If he opts for the latter, there’s a possibility that Tomita will receive nothing at all.

Nintendo said in a statement:

“Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of other companies and is confident that none of its products infringes the asserted patent. Nintendo will appeal the jury’s verdict and reduced damages award to the court of appeals.”

Thanks to Thomas N for the tip.
