Bootdisk Revolution, developer of the 2D action-platformer Bleed, has its fair share of interest in Nintendo.

Speaking with Dromble, the company’s Ian Campbell said “it would be a dream come true to have a game on a Nintendo console.” However, he has yet to speak with the Big N about bringing any games to the Wii U or 3DS.

Campbell said the following when asked if Bootdisk Revolution is interested in releasing titles on systems from Nintendo and Sony:

“Absolutely I’m interested — Sony seems very welcoming to indies, and I think for any developer who grew up in the 80-90?s it would be a dream come true to have a game on a Nintendo console. However I haven’t spoken to either of them yet, which is just as well until I learn how to actually code a game in something other than XNA.”

Prior to the Seattle Mariners’ baseball game against the Kansas City Royals yesterday, a moment of silence was held for former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi. Yamauchi passed away last week due to complications stemming from pneumonia.

Yamauchi became majority owner of the Marines in 1992. Nintendo of America took over in 2004, though he still maintained a strong influence over the team.

One fun fact for you: despite his ownership of the Mariners, Yamauchi never actually attended any of the club’s baseball games.

Oliver & Spike has not been officially confirmed for Wii U. In April, developer Rock Pocket Games said that the game’s release on Nintendo’s console would depend on a “potential partner”.

Not much has changed since then, as Oliver & Spike’s fate on Wii U hasn’t been determined. However, according to Rock Pocket’s Natascha Röösli, the game is now being pitched to the likes of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft as a second-party title.

Röösli told Dromble:

Two games have been confirmed for the North American 3DS eShop this week. Family Table Tennis 3D and Carps & Dragons will both be out on Thursday for $4.99.

We’re also hearing that a demo for Witch & Hero is due out on October 3. Data can be brought over to the full version.
