“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?
– Oddworld co-founder and president Lorne Lanning

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.
