Straight Right, the developer behind Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, would like to continue making games for the platform going forward. The studio also has interest in working with Nintendo’s other main system at the moment: the 3DS.
CEO Tom Crago said the following when discussing Straight Right’s future:
“We can’t talk about what we’re working on right now, but we certainly hope to be able to develop more titles for Wii U. On the subject of Nintendo platforms, we’re also really interested in the 3DS. It’d be fun to do something there in the next year or so too.”
We do know that Straight Right is porting a AAA Square Enix game to Wii U, which has long been rumored to be Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I wonder when the project will finally be announced…

Nintendo is creating a number of new animated shorts based on the Pikmin franchise. Shigeru Miyamoto is personally overseeing the videos’ development, which are planned for release ahead of Pikmin 3’s arrival.
According to Miyamoto:
“They’ll be released sometime before the release of Pikmin 3. Possibly as a Nintendo video. If they’re popular we could consider selling them.”
Miyamoto developed a number of mock-ups with the 3DS’ Flipnote Studio app (why isn’t this out yet?!), and teamed up with an external animation studio to create the shorts. Some members of the press were given a sneak peak look at one of the clips which was directed by Miyamoto himself.
Super Turrican is missing on the Wii Shop Channel. We’re not actually sure when the game disappeared… but the point is, you can’t buy it any longer. It’s unclear why Super Turrican was pulled, but strangely enough, its sequel is still up on the digital store.
Terra Incognita managed to hit its Kickstarter stretch goal just a few hours before the campaign ended. A total of £3,630 was raised, a huge increase over the desired £500 amount and just a bit more than the £3,500 stretch goal total. Due to the success on Kickstarter, fans can expect Terra Incognita to arrive on Wii U.
